The USS Gerald R. Ford has set a new record for the longest deployment by a U.S. aircraft carrier since the Vietnam War, reaching 295 days at sea on April 15, 2026.

The vessel also conducted operations in the Red Sea as part of “Operation Epic Fury” before a fire necessitated a return to port. The USS George H.W. Bush carrier strike group is expected to relieve the Ford, allowing its crew to finally return home after this historically long tour of duty.

The medical officer for Camp Mystic, Mary Liz Eastland, testified in court this week regarding the catastrophic flood that killed 27 girls and counselors last year.

The testimony occurred as part of a lawsuit brought by the family of a missing eight-year-old camper, seeking to preserve flood-damaged areas as evidence. Eastland also acknowledged that she did not try to evacuate campers from low-lying areas early in the flood due to impossible access, and in response to questioning, stated, “Yes,” when asked if she abandoned the missing camper.

In a concerning development, the Department of Justice’s Fiscal Year 2027 FBI Budget Request outlines a framework to combat domestic terrorism that echoes the Trump administration’s National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7). This framework, as detailed in the request, targets individuals holding views considered “anti-American, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity,” as well as those whose beliefs deviate from traditional gender norms. The DOJ is seeking $166 million to fund a newly created Joint Mission Center, an expanded counterterrorism unit tasked with proactively identifying and prosecuting individuals involved in what is described as “domestic terrorism” and “political violence” through internet surveillance and intelligence integration. Critics, including the ACLU, argue that NSPM-7 and this subsequent budget request represent a deliberate attempt to suppress dissent and equate political opposition with terrorism, while notably omitting instances of right-wing political violence.

Hecklers shouted accusations of genocide and killing children, to which Vance acknowledged Jesus Christ would not support genocide but credited the Trump administration with negotiating a ceasefire. While Vance recognized young voters’ dissatisfaction with current policies, he urged them to remain engaged rather than disengaged, emphasizing that increased involvement is how to “take the country back.” This event occurred amidst broader Republican Party criticism of the Iran war, with notable conservative activists like Tucker Carlson voicing opposition.
