U.S. forces are retreating. That's what this means. "Pulled out and returned to their home stations in the U.S. as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns" is a fancy way of saying the Iranian military has the U.S. military in retreat. This is unbelievably embarrassing.

Trump's latest top health nominee refused to commit to ending this administration's disastrous AI prior authorization pilot in WA state. These AI contractors make money based on how many claims they deny. I'm fighting to protect Medicare and END AI prior authorization.
