Jen Psaki shares reporting from the New York Times about hundreds of millions of dollars worth of planes purchased by the Department of Homeland Security that are sitting idle because DHS lacked the foresight to realize the cost of maintaining a fleet of airplanes. John Sandweg, former acting director of ICE, joins to discuss.
The USS Lincoln left its home port in San Diego in November 2025 and was redirected to the Middle East amid the Iran war. MS NOW Pentagon Reporter Priya Sridhar spoke with a dozen family members of sailors and marines aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier who say they are concerned about the conditions and morale on the ship. Plus, in an exclusive interview with MS NOW, the wife of a USS Lincoln sailor who jumped overboard says her husband told leadership he was struggling, but it was brushed off. A Navy spokesperson said in a statement, “We take every service member’s well-being seriously and have medical and mental health professionals available to assess and address concerns as they arise."
New reporting this morning on the depletion of U.S. weapons stockpiles amid the Iran war. The Washington Post cites three officials familiar with the matter who say the U.S. military has lost roughly 25% of its Reaper drones. The aircraft—which cost between $30 million and $50 million each and are used to conduct surveillance and targeted strikes—have seen heavy use around the Strait of Hormuz but are considered easy targets for Iran’s military and its regional proxies. Meanwhile, MS NOW spoke exclusively with the wife of a sailor who jumped off the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier last week. The wife says she was not contacted by Navy officials about the incident until four days later and shared text messages from one of her…
AI:The American military is facing a catastrophic weapons crisis, having hemorrhaged 25% of its Reaper drone fleet in the ongoing conflict with Iran. These $30 to $50 million assets, essential for surveillance and precision strikes near the Strait of Hormuz, are being picked off by Iranian forces and their proxies with alarming ease. While the establishment media scrambles to manage the fallout, a darker reality emerges from the USS Abraham Lincoln; Navy officials failed to notify a sailor's family for four days following a traumatic incident on board that insiders describe as a suicide attempt. The depletion of high-tech stockpiles combined with a breakdown in military leadership and accountability paints a picture of an administration…Open
Jen Psaki exposes outgoing Trump press secretary Karoline Leavitt's gimmick of calling on the "new media seat" in a ploy to waste time with fluff questions to flatter Donald Trump instead of serving the American people with information.
AI:MSNBC’s Jen Psaki is back at it, peddling more coordinated disinformation by attempting to smear outgoing Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. In a desperate attempt to control the narrative, Psaki claims Leavitt used her "new media seat" as a gimmick to facilitate fluff questions and avoid accountability. It is the same old song from the leftist media machine: when they can't handle a press secretary who actually stands their ground and delivers for the President, they pivot to attacking the method of engagement. This isn't about transparency; it’s a pathetic attempt by the establishment media to delegitimize any communications strategy that doesn't involve bowing to their scripted demands.Open
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse tells MS NOW’s Lawrence O'Donnell that Donald Trump jumped on a Kennedy Center board meeting call where the members voted for a measure, not on the original agenda, to "inscribe" Trump's name on the Kennedy Center.
Senator Mark Kelly talks with Jen Psaki about Donald Trump making extreme and expensive demands for changes to aircraft carriers without having any idea what he's actually talking about.
AI:The left-wing media apparatus is once again salivating over Senator Mark Kelly’s latest attempt to paint Donald Trump as out of his depth regarding naval procurement. While the mainstream narrative focuses on the perceived absurdity of Trump's demands for a return to steam catapult technology on future aircraft carriers, they conveniently ignore the fundamental reality: the current trajectory of naval engineering is failing our service members and compromising mission readiness. The radical left wants to frame any push for traditional, reliable hardware as "extreme," yet they remain silent while the actual conditions aboard vessels like the USS Abraham Lincoln deteriorate, leaving families in a state of panic and morale at an all-time…Open
