The New York Times has filed a lawsuit against the Defense Department and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, challenging a new Pentagon media policy introduced in September that it says violates constitutional protections for free speech, a free press and due process by sharply limiting journalists’ ability to report information that has not been formally approved by defense officials.
The United States Pentagon has installed a Lucky Box vending machine in its food court, offering rare Pokémon cards as prizes for a fee. The machine, which dispenses graded trading cards and sports memorabilia, appeared around Christmas Eve. It highlights the growing intersection of collectibles and chance-based purchases in unexpected locations.

A Pentagon inspector general review found that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth violated Defense Department policy by using the Signal messaging app on his personal phone to share sensitive details of planned U.S. airstrikes in Yemen. The report concludes that, had the information been intercepted, it could have endangered U.S. servicemembers and the mission, while noting that Hegseth had the authority to declassify the material. The findings were provided to Congress this week and a redacted version is expected to be released publicly within days.
