A DOGE bro just admitted he thinks veterans’ issues are “DEI.” 🤦‍♂️🇺🇸 He terminated grants that helped veterans because he supposedly “read books” about how bad they are… then couldn’t name a single book. 📚❌ As a veteran, I honestly don’t know how anyone who served could vote for... show more

Alissa Ellman, Democratic candidate for Congress in NY: You want to talk about DEI? You want to fire people over DEI? You know that disabled combat veterans are DEI hires? Did you know there are people I worked with who couldn’t work other jobs because they had traumatic brain injuries, or were missing limbs, or had chronic health issues caused by their service to this country? When politicians get on TV and preach about how much they love veterans, how about you really love veterans? How about you really love them and give them jobs? That gives us dignity. That gives us respect for ourselves and our lives

🚨 INFURIATING: Trump & Elon Musk are gutting the VA, firing Veterans, and sabotaging their care. Jammie Mosser served this country for 30 years. He took a job helping fellow Veterans—then got kicked to the curb after just one month. Now they want to axe up to 83,000 more.

Brent Tucker talks about the problem of veterans faking PTSD for money It's shameful that someone would fake such a serious issue because there are veterans who actually need help As he says this is extremely common and most of us know someone who does this

I worked alongside President Trump to pass two of the biggest reforms in VA history — the VA Accountability Act and the MISSION Act. He fired bad employees, gave veterans choice, and saved lives. Now a weak VA Secretary Doug Collins puts that legacy in jeopardy. Doug Collins won't put his full weight behind the Take Care of America's Veterans Act, and House GOP members are adopting Democrat talking points they know are untrue because they fear the midterms. Tell Congress to pass the Take Care of America's Veterans Act in the link below👇

BREAKING: President Trump has announced that he will appoint Purple Heart recipient & Afghanistan veteran Sam Brown as Under Secretary of Veteran Affairs. "Sam will now continue his service to our Great Nation at the VA, where he will work tirelessly to ensure we put America’s Veterans FIRST, and remember ALL who served." I don't know about anyone else but I'm pretty confident Sam Brown will do everything in his power to ensure all his fellow veterans are taken care of and that current troops don't go through the pain he did.

Donald Trump just claimed at a rally that he hates Democrats. Who he really hates are seniors, veterans, low income folks, immigrants, students, and anyone who stands up for decency. People need to know that 17 million Americans are going to lose their healthcare. It’s shameful.

Jesse Watters says he has a friend who is a veteran who is afraid they are going to fired because they are probationary employee at the Pentagon: Veterans should get priority. Because if you're going to go out there and kill enemies, put your life on the line, you should not be in the same category as people that are doing DEI

While walking through a Walmart parking lot in Wainwright with my friend who moved here from Ontario, a man walked up, recognized me, and started talking about why he supports Alberta independence. Totally random. Totally unscripted. And honestly, that’s what made it powerful. Wainwright is a military town, so naturally the conversation turned toward soldiers, veterans, and what independence would mean for them. He said a lot of soldiers support independence, but many are worried about their jobs because there is still uncertainty about what transition would look like. That concern is real, and it deserves to be taken seriously. But here’s what we believe: Albertans have deep respect for our veterans. We are ashamed of how Canada has treated too many of them. A country that tells veterans they can access MAID instead of making sure they receive the care, honour, and support they deserve has lost something very important. An independent Alberta would have the chance to build something better. A proud military. A serious defence culture. A country that honours its veterans, protects its people, and treats service as something worthy of respect. Veterans and soldiers who support Alberta independence should not feel abandoned by this movement. They should know that many of us see them as essential to the country we are trying to build. This was just a random encounter in a Walmart parking lot. But it said a lot about where Alberta is headed. Vote Yes For An Independent Alberta! Full video on YouTube:

After serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, Andrew Lennox, a veteran from Hamburg Township, continued to serve our country by working at the VA. That is until he was pushed out by DOGE and Elon Musk. As Andrew says, arbitrary cuts are not how you make the government work better for veterans or for anybody.

SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE! 🔥🔥🔥 Veteran Carl Higbie completely DEMOLISHES Harris’ pick, Tim Walz, for his STOLEN VALOR and REFUSAL to vote in favor of VETERANS. “He has particularly angered veterans like me with previous claims servicing that he actually went to war. This is the cardinal sin among veterans: to claim military service that you did not do. It’s so verifiable that I’m beside myself that someone would say they went to war when they didn’t, especially when guys like him got out of the military because they were being called to war. Don’t lecture me about service, Tim. You got a military paycheck for 24 years to prepare for war, and the second they called your name, you dipped out. You joined the military, but then when you were called to do the one thing—the one thing the military trained you to do and counted on you doing, which is go to war—you bailed, Tim Waltz. Just like you bailed on supporting our veterans when you were in Congress. One of Tim’s former colleagues weighed in on this yesterday. Representative Jim Banks said on Twitter, “I served my first two years in Congress with Tim Waltz on the House Veterans Committee. Waltz opposed the most important veteran legislation passed in decades just because it was President Trump’s. The Mission Act was very bipartisan, but Waltz opposed giving our veterans better access to healthcare because he didn’t want to give President Trump a win.” Wow, wow! This tells you everything you need to know about this guy.”

President Trump Has ALWAYS Cared About America’s Veterans The fake news won’t show you this: In 1995, the 50th Anniversary WWII Veterans Day Parade in NYC was about to be canceled — broke and ignored by corporations. Donald Trump stepped up: He wrote a $200,000 personal check, raised another $300,000, and saved the parade. Over 25,000 veterans marched proudly down Fifth Avenue because of him. 🇺🇸🎖️ That was decades before he ever ran for office. From honoring WWII heroes to big military parades and Victory Day proclamations in his second term — Trump delivers for those who served. Real respect. Real action. Not just talk. Thank you, President Trump! #TrumpLovesVeterans #AmericaFirst #WWIIHeroes

Siyanai naye Chiwenga. Temba really dodged the question there 😂 He was asked who failed war veterans and immediately pointed to “the General” VP Constantino Chiwenga But let’s be honest war veterans are not the responsibility of one individual. There is literally a Ministry of War Veterans Affairs. That means it’s a government obligation, not a personal side project for any one leader. So the real question is: 👉 Is this a systemic government failure? 👉 Or are we now simplifying accountability to one person depending on the political moment? Because you can’t run a whole ministry and then reduce responsibility to “the General failed” when things go wrong. Food for thought 🤔🙌🏻

Jaslow: The case I’m making to voters in North Carolina’s Third District is simple: fire the guy who can’t even show up to do his job, and hire someone who will. It was a privilege, as CEO of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, to represent our membership and the post-9/11 generation—my generation—as an Iraq War veteran before Congress. It’s disappointing—especially given how eager politicians are to be seen next to veterans during campaign season—that he couldn’t bother to show up for even a few minutes at a hearing. That’s something we’re going to make sure voters know. And in a district with two major military installations—home to working families, veterans, and military families—they deserve a better voice in Washington.

🔥🔥Sen. Tammy Duckworth, during our Veterans Town Hall earlier today, said exactly what all of us are thinking: "Let's call this what it is. It's a middle finger to our heroes. It's a slap in the face to the sacrifices our Veterans have made. It's bs, frankly, and every one of us who has served should feel insulted. Donald Trump now has fired more Veterans than any other president in recent history. How dare a five time draft-dodging coward turn his back on the men and women who, unlike him, actually were brave enough to serve our nation in uniform. How dare he call himself king. And yes, he did that and act like service members are his subjects, as if they are not the reason that America is already great."

🚨#BREAKING: A 28-year-old confirms he has spent the last 10 YEARS of his life interviewing World War II combat veterans to keep their stories alive... ...in fact, for the last 10 years, he has interviewed World War 2 veterans EVERY SINGLE DAY He started as a teenager, ditching school to ride his BIKE to the local retirement home, walking up to the front desk and asking to, "meet some World War II heroes." His name is Rishi Sharma. He's crossed all 50 states and half the world. He's slept in his car and lived on gas-station food to afford it. He asks these men for hours of their memories, and then he hands the entire recording to their families... ...FOR FREE So that 200 years from now, a great-great-grandchild will know not just their hero's name, but how he laughed, how he cried, and what he sacrificed. Rishi has no military family, his parents immigrated here from India. He does it out of pure gratitude. In his words: "My parents were given the opportunity to immigrate and raise a family because of veterans like these. It's a debt of love I'll spend my entire life trying to repay..." As one 100-year-old Marine who stormed Iwo Jima told him, remembering the flag going up: "The hair on my arms still stands up when I think about how beautiful it was." THAT is America. 250 years of ordinary people doing extraordinary things... God bless our veterans. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Absolutely Insane: Testimony The VA Can’t Deal With Backlogs For Services For American Veterans, The VA Is Using Their Funds On Illegal Immigrants US Congress Rep Greg Steube “I think that the VA's mission, being a veteran myself, should be to support veterans, not illegal immigrants.” “The general lady just admitted that the VA is administratively using resources to help illegal immigrants. I think that the VA's mission, being a veteran myself, should be to support veterans, not illegal immigrants. And any resources that we have having in my first congress, I served on the VA committee, and you heard time and time again despite adding more and more money to the VA because they can't deal with the backlogs, they need more funds to do that, then why are we using resources that are at the VA to assist illegal immigrants and the processing at ICE? I think that's completely unconscionable, not only as a veteran, but somebody that served this country. I think if the people in my district certainly knew that money that was appropriated to the VA, that those people are using those resources, uh, to help illegal immigrants through ICE would be completely objectionable to everybody in my district. And I would ask all of the members of this body to support this great amendment, and I yield back. The gentleman yield”

🚨 NEW: Boston’s near-unanimous council just told Mayor Wu to put the veterans money back. Wu’s FY27 budget slashed Veterans Services by 14.6% — a $724,000 cut — even as her overall $4.9 billion city budget grew. US Navy veteran Councilor Ed Flynn, who served in Operation Enduring Freedom, led the push to reverse it. Flynn, telling Mass Daily News: “It was a significant mistake for any city councilor not to support veterans and military families during this budget debate. Any cut to veterans services or programs or a veterans budget is unconscionable. We must not balance the city budget on the back of veterans or military families!” The resolution passed with the council overwhelmingly behind Flynn. One councilor refused to take a side: Sharon Durkan, one of Mayor Wu’s closest allies, voted “present” — citing “procedural concerns” about whether the council should use a resolution instead of a budget amendment. Councilor Gabriela Coletta Zapata was absent. Veterans groups are outraged and the same council voted in 2023 to cut $900,000 from the veterans department before public outcry forced a reversal — a vote a former councilor publicly apologized for. Boston is running a $48 million deficit. Property taxes have jumped double digits two years in a row. And one of the mayor’s first move was to take it out of veterans’ programs.

Kelly: Now Pete Hegseth wants even our longest serving military veterans to live with the constant threat that they could be deprived of their rank and retirement pay years, or even decades, after they leave the military, just because he or another secretary of defense or a president doesn't like what they've said. If Pete Hegseth succeeds in silencing me, then he and every other secretary of defense who comes after him will have license to punish any retired veteran of any political persuasion for the things that they say. And by that logic, a 100-year-old World War II veterans could be hauled in and censured or court-martialed because he says something that Pete Hegseth disagrees with. That's wrong. It's not the way things work in the United States of America, and I will not stand for it, because our freedom of speech, the separation of powers, and due process are not just words on a page.
