Re: the USS Abraham Lincoln, it’s not just that that crew has been “deployed” for a ridiculously long amount of time, it’s that they haven’t been allowed any port visits, which normally are part of a naval deployment. They haven’t been off the ship in months. All the Navy folks I know are horrified.

Pete Hegseth better get his resume updated. Any bets on which weapons manufacturer will take him on in their marketing department for a couple of months? #Blues
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 13h ago🚨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.
Every person (including Trump) serving in Trump's Cabinet must be drug tested. Rubio, Hegseth appear to be the worst offenders. Cocaine must be everywhere in that WH. And a helluvalot more.
Insider trading is illegal , full stop. And when powerful figures appear to skirt those rules, it erodes public trust. If Trump is using privileged information for personal gain, that’s not just unethical, it’s a threat to accountability. Why is this being allowed??
Democrats demand Trump reveal stock managers, explain suspicious trades
Warren and Garcia said they sought answers from Trump to inform their work on potential legislation to ban presidents from owning individual stocks.

There could not be a more blatant violation of the Hatch Act, which prohibits any executive branch employee from "Using his or her official title while participating in political activity." Unlikely to be prosecuted, however. Will any news org even mention this? www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/5/7...

NEWS: NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani announces the city will eliminate all out-of-pocket child care costs for roughly 22,000 low-income families receiving child care subsidies, making their care completely free beginning in September.
Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) about USS Abraham Lincoln: "What's worse is the Sec. of Defense's response dismissing it like it's no concern at all. I think a fundamental part of leadership is trying to improve the lives of the people you're leading, and he doesn't want there to be any accountability"
Did you see the story about that high schooler in the San Fran area who did a story on a local “modeling” agency that asked for money from Epstein for giving him a girl? This is how they do it. Get a girl’s hopes up and then rape her.
This has been going on for years. It needs to stop. American taxpayers should not be subsidizing these transnational companies. Pay your workers a living wage. We are fed up!
