The two newest NATO members, Sweden and Finland, both detected communications cables running under the Baltic Sea had been severed. The cables run into mainland Europe and initial fingerpointing was put on Moscow.

FOX’s John Saucier speaks with Dan Hoffman, Former CIA Chief of Station in Moscow and FOX News contributor, who says the war on Ukraine will only be stopped when Putin is put under enough pressure.

During his presidential campaign, Donald Trump promised to make sweeping changes to federal agencies, including doing away with the Education Department. This is not a new threat. Closing the department has been an off-and-on Republican goal since it was created in 1979. It is also difficult to make happen since it would require congressional approval – and it’s unlikely Trump would have sufficient support. Still, Trump argues – and many Republicans are with him – that the department is unnecessary, ineffective and a tool of a “woke” culture war. Today on “Post Reports,” host Elahe Izadi speaks with education reporter Laura Meckler about the implications of eliminating the Education Department and the possible ripple effects of Trump’s criticism of the agency. Today’s show was produced by Sabby Robinson, with help from Bishop Sand. It was mixed by Justin Garrish and edited by Monica Campbell, with help from Alison MacAdam, Maggie Penman and Lucy Perkins.
