Sept. 28, 2025, 12:56 PM EDTBy Yamiche Alcindor and Alexandra MarquezWASHINGTON — President Donald Trump in an interview with NBC News Sunday, confirmed that he plans to attend an unusual meeting organized by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that will gather hundreds of senior military officers near Washington on Tuesday.“It’s really just a very nice meeting talking about how well we’re doing militarily, talking about being in great shape, talking about a lot of good, positive things. It’s just a good message,” Trump told NBC News in a phone call. “We have some great people coming in and it’s just an ‘esprit de corps.’ You know the expression ‘esprit de corps’? That’s all it’s about. We’re talking about what we’re doing, what they’re doing, and how we’re doing.”Hegseth last week summoned hundreds of senior military leaders, who are stationed all over the world, to Washington for a meeting of the Pentagon’s top brass.The event will be held at Quantico Marine Corps Base in Virginia, about 30 minutes south of Washington. The base will host potentially thousands of military members, including the top brass, their aides and their security.Senior admirals and generals were not informed beforehand about the purpose of the meeting.One official familiar with the plans for the meeting told NBC News last week that the purpose of the meeting is for Hegseth to highlight military accomplishments and to discuss the future of the Defense Department under his leadership. Messages like this are typically communicated to top military brass via memo or secure teleconference.Trump also praised Hegseth’s plans on Thursday, telling reporters at the White House, “I know, I love it, I mean I think it’s great.”“Let him be friendly with the generals and admirals from all over the world,” he added. “You act like this is a bad thing. Isn’t it nice that people are coming from all over the world to be with us?”Hegseth also recently worked with the president to rebrand the Department of Defense as the “Department of War” and ordered staffing cuts among high-ranking military officials.The meeting comes ahead of a potential government shutdown next week. The Trump administration last week warned that it could carry out mass layoffs of federal workers who would usually be furloughed, or temporarily relieved from work, if the government shuts down.Congressional Republican and Democratic leaders are currently at an impasse ahead of the Sept. 30 government funding deadline, but Trump plans to meet with top congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle at the White House on Monday.Yamiche AlcindorYamiche Alcindor is a White House correspondent for NBC News.Alexandra MarquezAlexandra Marquez is a politics reporter for NBC News.

Sept. 27, 2025, 6:00 AM EDTBy Denise ChowA small city in South Texas is scrambling to find alternative sources of drinking water as severe drought grips the region and threatens to dry up its main supply.The city of Mathis typically pumps its drinking water from Lake Corpus Christi, but worsening drought conditions are expected to plunge water levels too low to safely extract usable water, according to Mathis City Manager Cedric Davis.“It’s not that we’re running out of water or we’re going to be completely dry,” Davis said. “It’s going to be difficult to pull clear water out of the lake because we’ll be pulling up mud with the water.”All that mud could damage the city’s filtration and water treatment systems, he added. Mathis has a population of around 4,300 people, according to 2020 data from the U.S. Census Bureau.The situation in Texas highlights a growing problem in drought-prone parts of the country — and the world — as climate change alters precipitation patterns, intensifies drought and saps the availability of safe drinking water.In 2023, the city of New Orleans faced a drinking water crisis after abnormally low levels in the drought-stricken Mississippi River caused salt water to encroach upriver into water intake facilities.Last year, persistent drought and years of low rainfall pushed reservoirs in Mexico City to historically low levels, triggering a severe water shortage in the most populous city in North America.South Texas has been in the grip of a yearslong dry spell, with much of the region in “moderate” or “severe” drought, as classified by the U.S. Drought Monitor, which releases weekly color-coded maps to show the extent and intensity of drought nationwide.The unusually dry conditions have caused Lake Corpus Christi’s water levels to fall.“We’ve not had enough rain to replenish the lakes and reservoirs of South Texas,” Davis said, adding that several cities and smaller communities in the area are now having to look for emergency solutions.Davis said current projections suggest that the lake’s levels could be too low by late December. As such, the city is attempting to dig two emergency wells to keep drinking water flowing into Mathis.The project hasn’t yet broken ground, but Davis said he is hoping to fast-track the permitting process and leasing agreement with the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department. If all goes according to plan, digging could begin by the end of October, he said.“If everything matches up and we can get the wells in by the end of December, we’re going to be fine,” Davis said.Still, city officials are considering other backup measures just in case, including costly desalination plants and the possibility of treating and reusing wastewater.“We’re leaving no stone unturned,” Davis said.Denise ChowDenise Chow is a science and space reporter for NBC News.
