The Iran conflict continues to escalate, and the messaging coming out of the White House is raising more questions than answers.

New reporting and deposition footage have raised serious questions about the people from DOGE, including staffers who reportedly had access to sensitive government data like Social Security information, and one particularly painful deposition where a staffer pushing anti-DEI policies struggled to even explain what DEI actually stands for.
