Want to talk nukes? I’m all ears about everything from the NNSA to triad modernization. You can reach me on Signal: winkie.11 — nothing you say will go into print until we mutually agree on how to describe (or anonymize) you.

My now football conscious seven-year-old son doesn’t understand why I know all the words to Rocky Top, but #IYKYK

Almost 10(!) years later and “what song’s next?!?” still gets me every time, lol

Impossible to overstate how the collapse of newsrooms like https://t.co/jEH9EqOFGQ & Military Times disadvantages this community. Absolutely vital there is strong, independent journalism to hold those in power to account, especially now. Via @liamjscott https://t.co/rc6Ihla1nk

Fantastic read from @GregJaffe & @PaulSonne, who tracked down the only Russian officer to ever graduate from the Army’s Command & General Staff College — He Saw the Best of America and Then Fought for Russia in Ukraine https://t.co/vljuvat0Td

Respectfully, Tricia, the changes are right there for the world to see in a PUBLIC document. Can you help me understand how the Post’s story is “an absolute ludicrous lie,” please? https://t.co/4m15AmvJTg

The most powerful story in the three-part series, in my opinion, was the reporter’s notebook where I detailed why eight members of 1-66 Armor opted to speak on-record despite the risks to their careers. Their courage deserves recognition more than me. https://t.co/yOYlQRlDga

It was a huge honor to accept @Milreporters’ James Crawley Award last Friday for my Broken Track series documenting systemic suicide risk in the Army’s tank units.

you thought the trio was gone you were wrong

"U.S. not planning nuclear explosions at this time, energy secretary says." Wright says U.S. will continue to conduct subcritical experiments, which are not nuclear explosions (i.e. they do no produce a self-sustaining, supercritical chain reaction) 1/2

Remarkable that POTUS refuses to clarify what precisely he meant by "nuclear testing."

While Trump's ambiguous announcement about "immediately" resuming nuclear testing dominated overnight headlines, the submarine deal could quietly provide South Korea a path to nuclear weapons of its own, experts told me.

NEW: In the span of barely three hours yesterday, President Trump turned the nuclear weapons world upside down with back-to-back announcements on nuclear testing and nuclear submarines for South Korea. Here's how the sudden moves impact the big picture. https://t.co/mLkiCoqobo

Great explainer from @CybeleMO on the current state of play between the U.S. and Venezuela amid the Trump administration's escalating military operations in the region.

Enjoyed talking about the military’s battle to keep part-time troops fit with @ThisMorningShow!

Hegseth wants a fitter military, but significant barriers hold back part-time troops

I don’t think we live in a world where “The Goon Squad” can win a feature writing Pulitzer, but I think we should live in a world where it gets a fair shot

Jaw dropping & fascinating story. “(W)hat we are dealing with here may well be a structural flaw of networked communication itself. Is there a timeline, a regulatory environment, in which the internet does not turn into a highly efficient manufacturer of niche suicide cults?”

Solid story from Davis on the unique challenges of fitness among part-time troops who are held to the same standards as their active counterparts. Hegseth, a former Guardsman himself, wants a fitter force - but hasn't outlined a notable plan for it.

A group of overweight Texas National Guard troops were sent home from the Chicago mission after this AP photo went viral in an @ABC post.
