Even down to earth seems up in the air.

USS Benfold, a guided-missile destroyer, lost all power for four days in the South China Sea after a generator failure on July 24, CNN reports. No working toilets, air conditioning, kitchen, or water systems in extreme heat for the 300-strong crew. 1/

The truth of this statement is chilling. One man's choice to delay judgment for fear it might appear political has been the beginning of the end. Or, as I learned long ago. Justice delayed is justice denied. All the wrongs that have occurred as a result are innumerable. Unbelievable.

Susan Collins pulls into town in a bus full of her supporters; then they all get off the bus; and then she addresses the folks who were on the bus with her as if they were regular Mainers; and legacy media covers this, pretending it isn't deeply bizarre. (Notice the guys with cameras.) #MEpolitics

Daily reminder: Trump knows what these sailors are enduring. He was asked. He refuses to act & boasts of extending deployments. At this point, “neglect” is too kind. The suffering is deliberate. Remember when “Russian asset” was the nightmare scenario? Explain how this differs from what we feared.

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Military families and service members are now describing horrific conditions across MULTIPLE ships: human waste flooding bathrooms, virtually no food, water or soap, months without port calls, exhausted crews, and no end in sight. This crisis is far bigger than just the Lincoln.

WELKER: Nancy Guthrie has been missing for more than 6 months. Is it time for FBI to take the lead? BLANCHE: Whether we come in with sharp elbows & take over, that's not necessarily right thing to do for her W: Are you any closer to solving it? B: I don't have an update. I'm sorry to say that.

In Anthony, New Mexico, group of out of shape ICE and HSI agents held an unarmed family at rifle point—including women recording on smartphones and children who had already been pepper-sprayed for asking questions-later claiming "officer safety" and an "imminent threat" to justify the assault.
