Exclusive photos obtained by CBS News show extensive damage at multiple U.S. military positions in the Middle East following Iranian missile and drone attacks.
The images, provided by anonymous active-duty service members, show destroyed buildings, vehicles and equipment at bases in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
At Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, a Boeing E-3 Sentry aircraft was struck, with its tail section severed.
At Camp Buehring and Camp Arifjan in Kuwait, photos show damaged barracks, trailers and vehicles. A deployed service member told CBS News:
This is major damage to our bases that hasn't been communicated to the American public. We're standing there with our eyes closed getting punched in the face.
Another service member criticized U.S. defenses, saying:
We're not defending these bases. We're just watching them get destroyed.
So proud of our success! Big, big, big team behind it
NOW's success was far from guaranteed. “We walked before we ran,” @janellenbc told me. “And as we made money, we reinvested in creating more original journalism.”

The success of @NBCNewsNOW is one of the reasons Conde agreed to be profiled. NOW has seen four consecutive years of growth, and in 2023 saw an average monthly viewership of 45 million hours. "We broke even in 18 months, and we're very proud of that," Conde said.
Exceptionally proud of this team!
We are proud to share that @NBCNewsNow won the 2023 @newsemmys award for Outstanding Recorded News Special for “Ukraine: A Mother’s War.” #NewsEmmys

So if you’re keeping track, there have been…
-multiple attacks on power substations in NC and SC just this week.
-5 attacks at power substations in WA and OR in recent weeks.
-6 attacks on substations in FL in a single 12-day stretch in September.
This is bad. At least five attacks at electricity substations in Washington and Oregon have been reported to the FBI in recent weeks. This is in addition to the attacks on substations in NC and SC this week.
This is following a very alarming trajectory.

These 10 Metro Atlanta counties make up about the same share of Georgia's statewide vote as they did in 2004, but between then and last night's runoff they have collectively shifted 42 points toward the Democrats:

Sabotage. This appears to be more than simple vandalism.

I just want to make a few things clear:
The Holocaust happened.
Hitler was a demonic figure.
And instead of giving it a platform, our political leaders should be calling out and rejecting antisemitism wherever it hides.
Silence is complicity.
Is that @HouseGOP tweet still up?

The uproar and outrage have died down, but the practice continues.
From the day Biden took office until July 2022, U.S. officials have reported at least 363 cases of family separation.

We are one day removed from a shooting at an LGBTQ club where five people are dead, and Tucker's first segment is him saying the LGBTQ "cult" is "sexualizing children."
Weeks ago, he told his viewers to "fight back" against the LGBTQ community "no matter what the law says."
This is from literally one minute ago. He has been working with rightwing media to carefully create a narrative that equates LGBTQ people with pedophilia. It's dangerous, cruel, and completely on purpose.
@AriDrennen compiled some of these examples about back in September:
