A new bill in Congress could change that. The Military Sexual Trauma Accountability Act, which has bipartisan support, would allow service members to sue the military for sexual misconduct and related issues, such as failing to investigate reports of misconduct or for negligence in creating an unsafe environment where sexual assault or harassment is allowed to fester.

Benfold lost power on July 24. It was towed to Subic Bay on July 28. Power was restored two days later with all repairs completed by Aug. 7, Cmdr. Matt Comer, spokesperson for U.S. 7th Fleet previously told USNI News. During the four days without power, Benfold lost air conditioning, galleys, toilets and showers. Potable water was also affected by the power failure.

On August 5th, the Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of the Inspector General (VA OIG) released a report entitled “Review of Radiology Staffing and Services at the VA Washington D.C. Healthcare System.” The blandly titled report was an indictment of the second Trump administration’s misguided return-to-office (RTO) policy. The OIG documented that the RTO caused a “mass exodus” of radiologists from the medical center and delays in patient care (although no documented patient harm). Additionally, the report found that facility leaders didn’t follow appropriate protocols in notifying quality management of known problems and failed to track incomplete radiologic studies.

25th Amendment... President Trump ordered the U.S. Navy on Thursday to remove the electromagnetic catapult system on aircraft carriers to launch fighter planes and revert back to using catapult systems, a move that officials and experts argue would raise costs in the process. *** The swap in fighter jet launch system was panned by some Senate Democrats, telling the president to “stick to what he knows best — ballrooms, bankruptcy and bulls—.”

Well, that's not good because some lawmakers want to remove some benefits. But also, Vet Secretary Collins is more interested in pleasing trump who does not have the best interest of veterans in mind. What a conundrum... A month after House Republicans failed to pass a veterans health bill, lawmakers are meeting behind closed doors to try to get the legislation back on track. But there’s one key person they haven’t invited to the table: Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins. Collins and his team at the VA have been excluded from recent meetings on Capitol Hill because some senior congressional Republicans and Trump officials blamed him when the planned House vote was abruptly abandoned in July, according to multiple sources who were involved in crafting the legislation.
