The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Stars and Stripes publisher Max Lederer, editor-in-chief Erik Slavin and reporter Lara Korte sued the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other top officials in federal court in Washington, D.C., seeking to block their firings.
