It’s been a week since a dozen military families shared what their loved ones are enduring aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln.
Moldy showers, broken toilets, laundry down for weeks, long stretches with no hot water, a meal that came down to half a cup of rice and two tortillas.
No soap, deodorant, or toothpaste.
These are more than 5,000 sailors and Marines, now in the ninth month of a deployment that was supposed to last seven, held at sea to support a war against Iran that Congress never authorized.
When families first raised the alarm back in April, Pete Hegseth called it fake news.
These men and women signed up to serve their country. The least their country owes them is hot water, a working toilet, and a real meal.
Hegseth cannot even manage that, and he has the nerve to look their families in the eye and call them liars.

.@GOPoversight .@OversightDems This is UNACCEPTABLE! We DON'T treat our military like this. In a bipartisan manner, get off your butts and fix this abuse of our military, ACT NOW! Trump and Hegseth are unqualified to lead them. IMPEACH NOW! @USNavy @USMC @usairforce @USArmy
