The president who called American soldiers that died in war “suckers” and “losers,” is now hiding the number of service members killed & injured in his war of choice. Absolutely disgraceful.

More U.S. troops have died amid Iran war than Pentagon has disclosed publicly
Officials who spoke with The Post expressed frustration that the additional loss of life in the Middle East is not reflected in the Defense Department’s casualty database.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

F.B.I. Shut Down Inquiry Into Top Ally of Senator Susan Collins
The inquiry was closed last year because senior bureau officials questioned the veracity of a campaign donor’s account, according to current and former officials.

Congress approved funding for these critical projects to protect our national parks, but the Trump Administration won’t let them move forward because they go against “administration priorities.” We need my CERTAIN Act to take political gamesmanship out of our permitting process.

Trump administration blocks $25 million in funding for national parks
The Interior Department did not give approval to more than 130 partnership agreements covering activities like tending to sled dogs and preventing damage to burial mounds.

If you still support Trump and his administration, we don’t have political differences — we have moral ones. Because racism, hatred, and incitement are not opinions. They are a character test. And you are failing it.
