Democrats like Sens. Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin criticized the risks to pilots, while Republicans called it a full exoneration amid successful strikes.

Hours before U.S. strikes hit Houthi targets in Yemen, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared strike timelines in a Signal group chat on his personal phone. The chat accidentally included a journalist, raising questions about security protocols.

Unveiled in Ottawa on December 12, 2024, the $7.5 million Memorial to the Victims of Communism honors those who suffered under communist rule and celebrates Canada as a refuge. Historians in 2023 flagged over 330 of the proposed names for potential Nazi collaborations, unverifiable details, or lack of Canadian ties, including figures like Roman Shukhevych and Janis Niedra. The wall will now display thematic content, such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, to focus on broader history without individual listings. The change highlights the tangled histories of Eastern European anti-communist fighters.

Key Takeaway

The memorial's planned Wall of Remembrance aimed to honor 553 individuals who fled communist regimes. But concerns over Nazi and fascist links among many names led officials to scrap the idea entirely.
