'Oh my God!' Wife of USS Lincoln sailor 'infuriated' after Trump accused families of lying
A U.S. service member's wife had a blunt response on Friday for President Donald Trump after he dismissed reports of poor conditions on the USS Abraham Lincoln, even as families expressed serious conc...

We are in desperate need of reporters who will respond: “You’re lying.”
“It gets back to that big picture, which is: What is the mission here?” Mr. Levin said. “That’s what the families want to know.” Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/08/14/u...
Navy and USS Lincoln’s Problems Are Tied to Attacks on U.S. Base Early in War (Gift Article)
Diego Garcia, a tiny island 2,200 miles from the Gulf of Oman, took over as the Navy’s logistics hub after Iran damaged a base in Bahrain.

According to Trump-we can’t pay for SNAP benefits to feed hungry kids Or lower the cost of housing Or help people keep their health insurance But we CAN spend billions on purposeless and unwanted steam catapults for our Navy In every way Literally Morally Metaphorically #RepublicansStarveUS
This is absolutely ridiculous. For all its potential pitfalls, the Ford aircraft carriers are built entirely around the EMALS system, and "replacing" it with steam catapults - which require large amounts of space and personnel - is simply not a realistic option. www.wsj.com/us-news/trum...
Indigenous people represent 18% of the world’s extreme poverty, but only 6% of the population In the US, median household earnings are among the lowest Unemployment rates are among the highest They are 400% more likely to be incarcerated And they are 300% more likely to be killed by police
A federal appeals court says Congress—not the president—holds the constitutional authority over major alterations to the White House. The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to intervene. #TheCityBrief
This is crazy. Alex is from Brazil, why would they deport him to Guyana? He’s a longtime West Hollywood resident who has been following his immigration requirements. He wasn’t hiding. He wasn’t on the run. He showed up for his required ICE check-in. And that’s where they detained him.

Homeland Security Paid $464 Million for Airplanes. Then It Parked Them. (Gift Article)
The agency used a no-bid contract to buy 10 used jets, saying they were urgently needed for deportation flights. But the fleet has largely sat idle for months.

What a fucking waste. DHS spent nearly half a BILLION dollars on planes they said were urgently needed for deportations. One small problem: they didn’t have the crews to fly them. So the planes have been sitting parked in Louisiana.
𝐈𝐂𝐄 𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐯𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬🚨 Hundreds of US military veterans have been detained, deported or had family members who have been! Tell your friends about this #ICELawlessness! Talk about the USS Abraham Lincoln where soldiers are attempting to jump overboard because of the appalling treatment by Trump. 🧵
This is utterly disgusting and absolutely unforgivable that our troops have been and are being mistreated and insulted by hateful HagueSeth, the delusional PedoFelon and rest of the quisling comrade clan.
Unacceptable conditions for US troops! After the food scandal a disgusting footage shows filthy, degraded bathrooms aboard USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier. Service members deserve basic dignity and clean living quarters while serving your country—this neglect is pure disrespect!
Conservative backlash was supposed to put an end to the diversity, inclusion and equity (DEI) movement as companies were warned “go woke, go broke”. In January 2025, Donald Trump delivered a death knell, ending DEI (cont.) www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...
US firms that kept DEI policies despite ‘go woke, go broke’ threats thrived
Exclusive: Companies that kept policies did just as well financially, even after Trump’s executive order, as those that didn’t

U.S. citizenship isn’t for sale? Maybe run that by your boss before you tweet next time, Marco.
Trump dismisses a question re the USS Lincoln: Q: Has the deployment gone on for too long? Trump: No, not nearly long enough. Meanwhile, we're hearing about suicide attempts, declining morale, supply shortages, water contamination, moldy and broken plumbing. He has no concern for our military!
VP Maybelline says lower oil prices is “Goal No 1” in the Iran War. Little too late dude. Goal No 1 should have been not attacking a country unprovoked in the first place and driving up the price of oil in the process. Our Goal No 1 must be to vote out all GOP to put a check on this reckless admin.
What the actual fuck? Service members are trapped in squalor, facing food and water shortages, with some reportedly pushed to their breaking point. And Trump’s response is that they haven’t been deployed long enough?
Wow! Not even nursing homes are sacred when it comes to voting rights and the Trump administration. New federal guidance could make it harder for 1.2 MILLION nursing home residents to vote, while warning staff they could face fraud investigations for crossing the line when helping residents.
