Again, Secretary Hegseth and President Trump are willfully ignoring the Uniform Code of Military Justice. "No person, while being held for trial, may be subjected to punishment or penalty...any more rigorous than the circumstances required to insure his presence"

The Trump admin slashed SNAP, Medicare & Medicaid, cut energy & student loan programs & hollowed out the federal workforce to funnel billions of dollars to an unaccountable, unchecked DHS. Now they want to sell what they bought because of "absence of a comprehensive strategic plan." That checks out.

This is the correct decision by President Trump. The fact that Secretary Hegseth's barbaric plan to livestream an execution even made it to the desk of the President is as clear an illustration as any that Hegseth is dangerously unqualified. Secretary Hegseth must be fired.

The failure of Secretary Hegseth to immediately take ownership of the problem also does a grave disservice to the men and women putting their lives on the line in service to our country. I am glad to see the error has been corrected, and will continue to fight for transparency and accountability.

The real question is whether this war, which put the USS Lincoln at sea for so long, is a justified or necessary one. Whether the American people have authorized the deployment of our soldiers and sailors, airmen and marines in this way.

When I toured the USS Lincoln, I arrived with a lot of questions. 321 days at sea. 200 of those days without a single stop at a port of call. Undoubtably, there is truth to some of the stories and headlines; a ship with 5,000 souls aboard has that many stories and that many truths.
