Mapping the veterans clinics Republicans are gutting to pay for Trump’s endless wars

USS Abraham Lincoln sailors tried to jump overboard amid extended deployment

"Military families and Congress members are sounding the alarm about an intensifying mental health crisis onboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, as its 5,000 sailors and marines endure a record-breaking deployment at sea tied to the war with Iran.

Two leading specialist military papers, the Navy Times and Stars and Stripes, are reporting that there have been multiple attempts by sailors to jump overboard as poor conditions and mental stresses on the Lincoln reach the breaking point. The crew is in its ninth month at sea, and has spent 250 days consecutively without making land – a record for an aircraft carrier in modern times." - The Guardian

At the same time Republicans propose nearly $13 billion in cuts to domestic programs that support working people struggling with the cost-of-living crisis. - Congressional Report

Republicans give billions to Hegseth, and millions for testosterone but cannot afford to feed American sailors.
