Today we lost one of Pennsylvania’s finest — Philadelphia Police Officer Shane Seiber, who was shot and killed in the line of duty. Lori and I are praying for Officer Seiber’s loved ones and the entire @PhillyPolice family as they grieve the loss of one of their brothers in uniform. Our law enforcement officers are the very best of us. They put their lives on the line every day, running towards danger to keep their fellow Pennsylvanians safe, not knowing if they will return home. We owe them our deepest gratitude. I’ve ordered U.S. and Pennsylvania flags on all Commonwealth grounds to fly at half-staff in honor of Officer Seiber’s memory — may it forever be a blessing.

This is the kind of story that should end careers. Six American soldiers were killed when an Iranian drone struck Port Shuaiba in Kuwait. Army officials had been warned REPEATEDLY the port was vulnerable, had inadequate protection against drones, and that safer locations had been proposed. They didn't care and kept the operation there anyway. Then the attack came. The medical response was reportedly so unprepared that some soldiers were using their phones to Google nearby hospitals. Yes, Googling hospitals. Wounded troops later faced additional problems getting properly identified and treated as combat casualties. The Army finished its investigation months ago but still hasn't publicly released it. While they go on and on about supporting the troops, where are the answers for these families? Why did their loved ones get left out to die?
