The USS Lincoln is finally leaving the Middle East.
voice-verified
In recent weeks, there had been a growing number of reports about deteriorating conditions on the aircraft carrier, and how the crew had been pushed to its limits, as the ship stayed at sea for months longer than expected, supporting President Trump's military campaign in Iran.

Earlier this month, hundreds of family members of the sailors flooded a town hall meeting with Navy officials, demanding an update about conditions on board.

Now the Lincoln has started its 13,000 mile journey back to its home port of San Diego, which could take a month or longer.

He dismissed around 20 inspectors general.

He says Trump's picks for the roles have included a former Republican congressman, a lawyer who worked for Republicans on Capitol Hill, and most recently, one of the authors of Project 2025, the well-known conservative policy initiative.

In their new roles, some of the IGs have started investigating or attacking the president's frequent targets, like California Governor Gavin Newsom and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
voice-verified
In all after Trump's firings, as well as big funding cuts for inspectors generals' offices, Luke says there's evidence that the oversight work itself has slowed.
voice-verified
According to a nonprofit research group, in the first half of this year, the number of investigative reports from IGs assigned to cabinet-level agencies dropped 25% compared to previous years.
voice-verified
In response to questions from the Times, a White House spokeswoman said Trump had hired quote highly qualified and accomplished individuals, and that they would carry out his mission of targeting fraud.

In California about a decade ago, a group of gunmen attacked an electrical substation in the Bay Area, firing on it over a hundred times and causing so much damage that it was shut down for nearly a month.
voice-verified
While the gunmen were never caught or identified, it was considered a carefully planned attack, with the snipers aiming directly at one key piece of the power facility, its transformers.
voice-verified
Around that time, experts warned about what might happen if that kind of coordinated strike was more widespread.
