Congress ups pressure over boat strike video with threat to Hegseth's budget

I'm so confused by this whole thing 🤔. I mean, I remember when we used to get updates on military operations in real-time, and now it's like they're hiding something from us. The "double-tap" strike sounds super shady, you know? I don't trust the Pentagon's explanation about the admiral ordering the strike either - seems fishy to me 🐟. And what's up with Trump just ignoring everyone's requests for footage? He's always been a bit dodgy when it comes to transparency... back in my day, we used to get all our military news from the BBC or CNN (remember those days?) and they would actually report on sensitive info without sugarcoating it 📰. I don't know what's going on now, but this whole situation just feels super tense 🔥.
 
So I'm watching this unfold in the US Congress and it's like they're getting all worked up over some military footage that's just not being shared 🤔. Trump is refusing to release unedited video of a strike in the Caribbean, which has 9 people dead, and Congress is pushing back hard 💪. They want Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth to explain what happened, and if he doesn't share that footage, his travel budget gets cut 😬. It's a big deal because there are questions about whether the strikes were even legal 🤷‍♂️. Lawyers are saying that the US has to follow some rules of war, like picking up wounded survivors instead of attacking them again 💥. This is all getting pretty heated and I think it highlights how divided the US Congress is on military action and transparency 📊. The Pentagon's gonna have to brief lawmakers soon, so we'll see what comes of this... 👀
 
I don't buy it... 🤔 the White House is playing dumb about this whole thing. If Pete Hegseth was really following orders from a navy admiral, why hasn't he released unedited footage of the second strike? It's not like he's going to get away with hiding something this big from Congress. The fact that Trump is still refusing to show his face on camera and just shrugs it off is super suspicious... 🤷‍♂️ I need to see some concrete evidence before I believe they're telling the truth. Can we get a source on this? Where's the proof? 📚
 
🤔 Come on, can't we just get straight to it? So there's this whole thing with Trump refusing to release footage of a military strike in the Caribbean and now Congress is trying to limit Defence Secretary Hegseth's travel budget until they get it. But honestly, it feels like they're just playing politics here. I mean, what's really going on? Did we really need nine people dead because of some "double-tap" operation? 🤯 And the fact that Trump's just saying whatever Hegseth wants to do is just ridiculous. Can't we have a real discussion about this without all the drama and backroom deals? It's like, can't they just be honest with us for once? 😒
 
the US military doesn't seem to be taking this whole transparency thing too seriously 🤔... releasing footage of a deadly strike in the Caribbean is basically an automatic no-brainer, you know? but nope, they're holding out on it like it's some kind of state secret 🤫... meanwhile, Congress is like "yaaas, let us see what really went down" and proposing a provision that'll limit travel funds for Hegseth's office until the unedited video drops. I mean, if the White House is so sure they're following the laws of armed conflict, why are they being so cagey about it? 🤔... it just seems like more fuel to the fire when it comes to these tensions between Trump's admin and Congress over military action and transparency in war zones 💥
