The raid carried out this morning at the home of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar by the Trump Administration is a sham designed to cast suspicion on the Congresswoman and manufacture an appearance of wrongdoing on the eve of the midterm elections, without any apparent legal basis.
Our statement:
Veterans stand with Ilhan Omar.

New: A private-equity executive took a top Pentagon role to help secure weapons contracts and critical minerals for the Department of Defense. After he joined, a firm he has ties to began landing major military contracts. propub.li/4zKb6h5

This is absolutely wild per Status — ABC News completely retracted this story like two days ago just totally nuked it. No note, no explanation , no comment. It had been shared by tons of top lawmakers and democratic officials.

This is disgusting and to make it more monstrous he’s doing it as part of his campaign for President in 2028

This is hilarious because San Diego has the highest number of military commands & largest number of active-duty personnel in the country

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens.
We are.
500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term.
Our tally is almost certainly an undercount.

The U.S. Army announced last year that it had enough of a specific model of armored vehicle and that any more deliveries would be “excess.” But even so, Congress found a way to keep funding alive for the vehicle — and executives at the company that produces the vehicle found a way to flood key members of Congress with campaign donations.

For more than two months, I have been working on a truly horrific story about one of the gravest war crimes committed by the United States since Vietnam: The bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran. It was one of the first targets struck in the opening hours of the war on February 28, 2026.
At least 156 people were killed in the U.S. cruise missile strikes—120 of them were children and 26 were teachers. We spoke to survivors, first responders, parents, doctors, teachers, psychologists, and other witnesses. Some of them had never before shared their experiences of that day.
It would be impossible to do justice to what happened in Minab that day with words alone. In more than 25 years in journalism and reporting on war, I do not believe I have reported on a more heinous single crime.

Between September 5-8, Iran claimed hits on U.S. warships in several different engagements. CENTCOM denied any casualties, and claims to have successfully evaded all attacks.

Two months after the CEO of defense contractor Navatek used a shell company to send $150,000 to the Susan Collins super PAC, the senator committed to getting Navatek $32 million in naval contracts, according to company emails.

One of the first soldiers to refuse Vietnam service was an Army doctor who said the war was a violation of his hippocratic oath. That spirit is alive and well—the most common job of our CO clients today is military physician. Hear from some of them here:

That is literally the core history of the Penn State Police, who were formed out of US colonial counterinsurgency efforts in the Philippines to suppress labor movements in coal and iron fields of Penn.

Really interesting new “SEND ME TO WAR” hype campaign by the guy here wearing the WAR shirt who’s sending them to a widely-unpopular disaster marked by incompetence, lies and cruelty.
.@SECWAR "This is our first stop on what we are calling the SEND ME TOUR.
If you know your Book of Isaiah, Chapter 6, Verse 8, the Lord said, 'Whom shall I send?' Isaiah says, 'Lord, I AM HERE. SEND ME...'
For 250 years of this country, there have been men and women who RAISED THEIR RIGHT HAND and said, 'SEND ME.'
SEND ME TO GO FIGHT THE REDCOATS.
SEND ME TO GO FIGHT THE COMMUNISTS.
SEND ME TO GO FIGHT THE ISLAMISTS.
AND YOU ARE SAYING, SEND ME TO GO FIGHT WHATEVER THREATS THREATEN OUR NATION.'"
