There’s a right way and there’s a wrong way to report on Trumpian extremism. Right way: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/08/u... Wrong way: wapo.st/4yElwyB

By Chris Cameron

Pentagon officials said on Thursday that the Army officer convicted in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting would be executed in public, a practice that ended in the United States nearly a century ago and is most commonly carried out in a handful of countries, including Iran, North Korea and Afghanistan.

The Pentagon said in a statement that the military execution, scheduled for Dec. 3, would also be broadcast via livestream. Such a broadcast has little precedent, and releasing video of executions is most often associated with extremist militant groups like the Islamic State.

The Defense Department said in a statement Thursday that the firing squad execution of convicted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan will be live-streamed for the public to watch.

Earlier Thursday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said he wanted the execution to be public.

Notice the absence of the traditional olive branch? The olive branch symbolized America prioritizing peace with war as a last resort. It has been part of the Great Seal of the United States since 1782 and was part of the original seal of the Department of Defense.

Most of the people I work with have zero path to health insurance or full time work with our organization. It’s government saving money while expecting the worker’s spouse will cover most things, but even some who have a working spouse are on medical assistance - or can’t afford health insurance.
