Top Military Leaders Convene Quantico Meeting Amidst Criticism

A contentious meeting at Quantico convened by President Trump and Secretary of Defense Hegseth drew criticism for its tone and content, including disparaging remarks about military personnel and the announcement of changes to engagement rules, costing up to $6 million and disrupting federal employees amid a government shutdown. The event was characterized by some media outlets as a significant abuse of power and an example of normalization of extreme political behavior within the Trump administration. Separately, Malik Hassan Sayeed discussed his career and new film "After the Hunt," a psychological thriller about a college professor facing personal and professional challenges, which will be released in theaters on October 10. The film, directed by Luca Guadagnino and shot on 35mm film, highlights a return to analog filmmaking and emotional storytelling.
