Convicted Felon Donald Trump has consistently shown disrespect for our servicemembers. But, this time, it's truly beyond the pale with Pete Hegseth pushing fake casualty counts to downplay his illegal and unconstitutional war against Iran.
In an attempt to downplay the number of dead & wounded in his illegal war with Iran, Trump's DOD is playing games with its official war casualty database.
Sen. @duckworth.senate.gov calls out this disgusting move & she updates us on the status of the $1.15 trillion NDAA.

April Wilkens has spent 27 years behind bars for killing her ex-fiancé — after years of abuse, stalking and calls to the police that went nowhere.
Her story underscores a legal experiment in Oklahoma, where a new law called the Oklahoma Survivors’ Act offers prisoners like her a chance at freedom.
