Five evacuees from Bahrain share their stories of "chaotic" evacuations following Iran's retaliatory strikes after American airstrikes were launched on Feb 28. They tell me their savings have been drained, their kids are traumatized and they're angry: ms.now/news/military-familie…

This story is so important. Veterans who risked their lives for our nation and were exposed to toxins during their service at the Nevada Test and Training Range can’t get the VA benefits they deserve.
Our veterans deserve better and it can’t wait any longer.
Congress must pass my bipartisan bill to require the Department of Defense to join the Department of Energy in classifying these sites as locations where contamination occurred so that these veterans can finally access the VA benefits they are owed.
My latest story for @MSNOWNews on a group of veterans who are fighting to get the benefits they deserve after being exposed to plutonium from the highly classified work they were doing on F-117s in the 80s at a Nevada airfield:

BREAKING: A U.S. official confirms to @PriyaReporting & I that the USS Abraham Lincoln is on its way back to San Diego.
It marks the beginning of the end of a grueling nine-month deployment where the sailors & Marines faced food & supply shortages + deteriorating morale.

I’m seeking an official oversight visit with a bipartisan Senate Delegation to the USS Lincoln to investigate the reported alarming conditions.
Unlike Donald Trump, I've seen active duty. The way he's treating our service members as he carries out this illegal war is not just disgusting; it’s dangerous. These sailors are owed a sense of when they will go home.
The stories of crew members threatening to jump off the ship are a frightening alarm bell as to how bad the situation has become: moldy showers, sporadic hot water, rationed meals and soap, broken toilets, and grueling 12- to 16-hour shifts with no days off.
Congress must do its duty to provide oversight and hold the administration accountable for these actions.

Right now, more than 5,000 sailors and Marines are stuck aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln in the ninth month of a deployment that was supposed to last seven, supporting military operations against Iran that Congress never authorized.
Their families are begging someone to listen.
Moldy showers, broken toilets, no hot water for weeks, meals that came down to half a cup of rice and two tortillas.
A ship’s store out of soap, deodorant, and toothpaste.
Sailors so worn down that, according to one family member, the ship’s own doctor warned they need to reach port soon or people are going to start losing their minds.
Back in April, when families first raised the alarm, Pete Hegseth dismissed the reports as fake news. These are the people we ask to serve in one of the most dangerous workplaces on Earth, the flight deck of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
They, and their families, deserve answers. ms.now/news/conditions-safet…
