A new report about a military cover up had one former GOP lawmaker calling the debacle “absolutely incredible and wrong.”Melissa Corrigan and David Shuster, the latter having previously exposed GOP corruption as an Emmy-winning anchor at MSNBC and CNN, reported in an article called “EXCLUSIVE: US Navy Deleted Video of October Boat Attack Survivors,” that a “leaked document reveals effort to coverup aftermath of Oct 17 strike.”According to the report, “two detainees were brought on board a US Navy vessel, one in apparent medical distress having survived an explosive boat strike. Shipboard personnel followed standing protocol and code to capture video and photo documentation of the onboarding of these individuals, and then were given the dubious order to delete that footage.”Shuster wrote about the story on social media, “US Navy deleted video of October 17 boat strike survivors. In this attack, two men were rescued and detained on USS Iwo Jima. Navy was ordered to delete photos/videos, ship document reveals. This story proves the U. S. military has engaged in a coverup and destruction of documents/materials related to these boat attacks. Good grief,” he then added. Ex-GOP lawmaker Adam Kinzinger shared the report and added, “This is absolutely incredible and wrong.”Read the full article here.

CNN’s chief data analyst, Harry Enten, borrowed one of President Donald Trump’s favorite phrases on Thursday night to describe the president’s precipitous fall in support from a key part of his coalition. Over the last couple of months, Trump’s approval rating among young men aged 30 years and under has dropped by more than 56 points, Enten said during CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront.” Enten called the plummeting support “stunning. I think the word of the day, to borrow a phrase from the current president, is yuge!” Enten exclaimed. “I spend my days in the spreadsheets,” he added. “You just don’t see drops like that. It’s stunning.”Trump’s success with young voters was one of the contributing factors to his success during the 2024 election, Enten pointed out. Between 2020 and 2024, Trump won 43% of voters under the age of 30 during the 2024 election compared to 31% of those voters during the 2020 campaign. The significant drop in support among this group could prove disastrous for Trump in the 2026 midterm election. “This is hugely important to Trump,” Enten said.
