This year appeared to be no exception, with John Phelan, the #Navy secy, & Adm. Samuel Paparo, the head of the military’s #IndoPacific Command, among the speakers scheduled to address the gathering that begins on Tues.
But on Monday morning, the #Pentagon abruptly canceled its participation in the 4-day event, saying the forum’s *values* did not align with the Pentagon’s.
On Monday morning, the #Pentagon abruptly canceled its participation in the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado.
Every summer for years, Republican & Democratic admins have dispatched senior civilian Pentagon officials & #military commanders to participate in the Aspen #Security Forum, a #NationalSecurity & #ForeignPolicy conference in Colorado.

But the #Democrats were most withering about the cuts to the #VoiceOfAmerica & #RadioFreeAsia, which for decades pierced #authoritarian veils around the #world. The report noted that in recent years some of that support came from then-Sen #MarcoRubio, Trump’s secy of #State & #NationalSecurity adviser, who has not publicly dissented from the admin’s decision to lay off nearly all the staff at both outlets.
…Sen Jeanne Shaheen (NH), the ranking #Democrat on the cmte, who initiated the report, said…, “#Democrats & #Republicans alike agree on one thing: that one of the biggest threats to our future in the #UnitedStates, both our #economic & our #NationalSecurity future, is competition with #China. And yet as I look at what the administration has done since it came into office, they have made decision after decision that undercut any coordinated strategic response to how we deal with China.”
The minority-issued report comprises the first comprehensive #political & #policy response by #Democrats to the series of #BudgetCuts, confrontations with top #research #universities & termination of programs that comprised the elements of American #SoftPower that have defined #Trump’s first 6 months in office.
Democrats … chose the relationship with #China to frame its #NationalSecurity critique.
In its broad overhaul of the #DOJ, the #Trump admin has fired or sidelined dozens of #lawyers who specialize in prosecuting #NationalSecurity & #corruption cases & publicly encouraged departures from the #CivilRights Division.
But the #FederalPrograms Branch, which defends challenges to White House & federal agency policies in federal trial courts, remains critical to its agenda.

"A special team created by DNI Tulsi Gabbard has expressed a desire to gain access to emails and chat logs of the largest U.S. spy agencies — with the aim of using AI tools to ferret out what the admin deems as efforts to undermine its agenda.
Gabbard will further destroy national security, & compromise & imperil agents, state secrets, the future of the agency...
