I have something to show you.

And something, this something is something that the Secretary of Defense Pete Heggseth really, really does not want you to see.

And it's probably not what you're thinking.

I mean, it's not a top secret war plan that Pete Hegseff accidentally posted in a signal chat, which there's still been no accountability for.

It's not photo showing top Trump national security officials checking

Twitter in the middle of a military operation. Those exist. It's not even this footage of Pete

Hexeth ringing in the new year during his previous life as an anchor for Fox News. Our Secretary of

Defense, everyone, there he is on your screen. Those things all exist, but it's not,

it's not any of those things. Now the thing Pete Hexeth really does not want you to see is this photo.

That one, right there, the one on your screen. Pete Hexseth at a Pentagon briefing furrowing his

brow as he takes questions about Trump's War of Choice in Iran.

And the reason I know that Pete Heggseth doesn't want you to see this photo is because the

Washington Post is reporting that the Defense Department has now banned press photographers from the Pentagon

briefing room over photos his staff have deemed unflattering.

Now, that's according to two people familiar with the decision.

Just to take a step back here, which is always necessary when you're talking about Pete Heggseth and really a lot of things in this administration.

The United States is on the 12th day of a war with Iran.

And with everything that the Secretary of Defense has on his plate right now, the thing he is focused on is whether or not press photographers are getting his good side, it seems.

The former Fox News Weekend host apparently has very strong feelings about it.

Now, this would be very weird, extremely self-involved behavior by a cabinet secretary from a far less important agency than the Department of Defense on a day with far less going on.

But to perhaps state the obvious, there are a lot of other things Pete Hegseth should be worrying about right now. Because not only this war about to enter its third week with no end in sight,

but every single day we learn more about what a disastrous job the Trump administration has done
