MAGA is Ruining America

The Trump Administration Has Locked Up More Than 50 Spouses and Parents of Active-Duty Troops. Some Were Arrested at the Very Appointments Meant to Protect Them.

The Trump Administration Has Locked Up More Than 50 Spouses and Parents of Active-Duty Troops. Some Were Arrested at the Very Appointments Meant to Protect Them.

An AP investigation found more than 50 parents and spouses of active-duty U.S. troops detained by immigration authorities in Trump's second term, after his administration dropped a rule that required ICE to weigh a family member's military service before acting. A Republican Congress gave ICE $70 billion and wrote no protection for them.

The VA Calls Veterans Guardian a 'Claims Shark.' Its Founders Wrote $88,600 in Checks to Dan Sullivan's Fundraising Committee.

Veterans Guardian charges disabled veterans for help the VA gives free, and a federal judge has ruled it broke federal law. In March its two founders gave $88,600 to Dan Sullivan's joint fundraising committee, which passed the money to the Senate Republicans' campaign arm. One founder has also given Sullivan's own campaign $6,000.

Pete Hegseth's Pentagon Hasn't Disclosed At Least Four U.S. Troop Deaths in the Middle East. It Did Post a Video Starring Jake and Logan Paul.

Six U.S. officials told The Washington Post that at least 22 service members have died in the Middle East during the Iran war — four more than the Pentagon's public count — and the Pentagon declined to explain the gap. The same week, Hegseth hosted YouTubers Jake and Logan Paul at the Pentagon and put the video online.

Nicole Malliotakis Cosponsored the Bill to Stop Docking Wounded Veterans' Retirement Pay. She Was the Only New York City Member Who Refused to Sign the Petition to Force a Vote on It.

Nicole Malliotakis Cosponsored the Bill to Stop Docking Wounded Veterans' Retirement Pay. She Was the Only New York City Member Who Refused to Sign the Petition to Force a Vote on It.

Malliotakis has been a cosponsor of the Major Richard Star Act since the day it was introduced. When a petition to force a House vote sat one signature short for nearly two weeks, she didn't sign it. Her reason: a Republican package she also cosponsored, which pays for the Star Act by cutting disability ratings for tinnitus and sleep apnea.

Trump Said America Has 'Virtually Unlimited' Ammunition. His Own Pentagon Watchdog Says the Iran War Has Left the U.S. Short of Weapons.

Trump Said America Has 'Virtually Unlimited' Ammunition. His Own Pentagon Watchdog Says the Iran War Has Left the U.S. Short of Weapons.

The Pentagon's inspector general says the Iran war has caused 'strategic inventory shortfalls' and cost up to $3.7 billion in lost equipment, including nearly 60 aircraft. The White House calls shortage claims 'false.' Troops sent CBS photos of wrecked U.S. bases, damage one said 'hasn't been communicated to the American public.'
