@editorialboard.bsky.social

1. On Monday, the media's focus was on the administration's treatment of the USS Lincoln. But the real story was in plain sight: an aircraft carrier that has been forgotten by the commander-in-chief is a direct consequence of war. Iran defeated America. The Lincoln is part of the aftermath.

As a result, it is not shocking that US carriers are overdeployed and undersupplied...

Families of USS Lincoln crew say Trump should be 'ashamed' of conditions on board

President Trump said the USS Abraham Lincoln deployment is "not nearly long enough." A family member of a sailor on board that ship said those comments are shameful.
