AOC Upstate ?
AOC will be campaigning upstate for Dems running for Congress but it’s unclear if that includes stumping for Blake Gendebien who is trying to win the prize…Elise Stefaniks seat. Gendebien likely too timid to play footsie with her.
More US service members have died in the Middle East during the Iran war than the Trump administration has publicly disclosed, with five US officials putting the toll at a minimum of 22 deaths and a sixth at 23 since February 28, at least four more than the 18 listed in the Pentagon's public casualty database, per six US officials to WaPo.
Three US contractors based in the region have also died, and more than 820 service members have been wounded in action, many with traumatic brain injuries from Iranian strikes on US bases.
Over the summer, when 4 combat deaths were temporarily excluded from the database, the Trump administration reclassified the renewed hostilities with Iran as Overseas Operations rather than Operation Epic Fury to portray the war as a success at the cost of US casualties.

Elise? Who is this Elise you speak of?
Biden approved a $23B F-16 package to Turkey in 2024, what’s your point?
And what a clunker that was, eh 5:14?
I would love to see her, love her. Smart and hot.
Thank you president Trump for having the moral fortitude to finally do something about the Iranian terrorist state.
What's your point 8:22?
Are you really that dull, 8:22? Turkey didn't carry out 9/11. 🙄
