This will be a long thread. Please stick with it.
The Miami Herald, one of the premier legacy newspapers in America, laid off or wrote off more than 30 positions today – well over one-third of its editorial staff. The cuts include crucial accountability beats. (1)
The wife of Maj. Alex Klinner, an airman who died supporting Operation Epic Fury, was initially told by the military that he didn’t qualify for combat pay/benefits because "we are not at war."
Her viral post led to a resolution this week.

President Donald Trump’s administration has detained more than 50 spouses and parents of U.S. troops as it rolls back immigration protections for military families, an AP investigation has found. apnews.com/article/military-…
The Trump administration has detained more than 50 spouses and parents of active-duty U.S. military service members, the AP found.
Yet military recruiters continue to promise immigration benefits for soldiers' families even as the administration rolls back these protections.
We found soldiers had to take leave of their duties to care for small children after their spouse was detained.
In another case, a soldier who was deployed to the southern border and spent nine months supporting U.S. Customs and Border Patrol had his own father detained.
