Despite deteriorating conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, Donald Trump says the record-setting deployment is “not nearly long enough.” Rep.

Life in the Trump era keeps getting easier for criminal fraudsters. Former Rep. Tom Malinowski talks with Jen Psaki about how Donald Trump is steadily dismantling the tools for catching and prosecuting criminals, and why the news that Trump's Treasury Department will stop enforcing the Corporate Transparency Act is good news for money launderers and drug dealers.
Trump administration officials’ dismissive comments about the conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln have left the families of service members feeling gaslit.

Politics Platner is Gone—The Threat to Collins Isn’t Despite an embarrassing scandal, Troy Jackson may be a stronger Democratic nominee. When Graham Platner, the Democratic Senate nominee for Maine in this year’s midterm election, announced on July 8 that he was suspending his campaign and then formally withdrew two days later, many Republicans celebrated.
