> The US Air Force is pursuing military-justice charges against active-duty Major Jason Watson after he publicly called for President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance to be impeached and removed over the US-Israel war on Iran. The allegations include the rarely used Article 88, which bars contemptuous words against senior officials. Watson remains in pretrial confinement with due-process rights.
