U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is blocking the promotion of four Army officers to be one-star generals, two of which are Black and two women on a list of roughly three dozen officers up for promotion, in a highly unusual move that has prompted some senior military officials to question whether the officers are being singled out because of their race or gender, according to The New York Times. Hegseth had been pressing senior Army leaders, including Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll, for months to remove the officers’ names, military officials said. But Secretary Driscoll, citing the officers’ decades-long records of exemplary service, had repeatedly refused. Earlier this month, Hegseth broke the logjam by unilaterally striking the officers’ names from the list, though it is not clear he has the legal authority to do so. The list is currently being reviewed by the White House, which is expected to sent for final approval to the Senate.

🇭🇺👀 Orban is massively buying votes in Hungary's poorest regions. This is revealed in a large-scale investigation, "The Price of a Vote," jointly conducted by six independent Hungarian projects. Party representatives are traveling to villages and offering local residents $150-$170 per vote. Local mayors are promising firewood, medicine, part-time jobs, and transportation to the polls for the "right" vote, and threatening those who refuse. The campaign is reaching 600,000 voters (approximately 10% of the entire Hungarian electorate). Journalists collected info from 60 people from 14 different communities, including ordinary citizens, officials, and security forces.

Franklin Graham says Donald Trump has been raised up by God and urges loyalty in the midterms. It sickens me when “Christians” claim that Trump has been raised up by God, because Trump is the antithesis of Jesus’ teachings. Instead of love, he portrays hatred; instead of forgiveness, vengeance; instead of meekness, narcissistic egoism. And the list goes on. But I am no longer surprised by Franklin Graham. This is the same man who has appeared on multiple russian propaganda channels, praised Vladimir Putin repeatedly, and urged people to pray for Putin’s “wisdom.” Not once has he called for Putin’s repentance. It is because of people like Franklin Graham that many atheists want nothing to do with the church. “The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, walk out the door, and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.” – Brennan Manning
