60% of veterans voted for Trump. That is an overwhelming majority. I thank them for their service, but do not feel sorry for the 60% of them who are about to hurt because of THEIR CHOICES. Time for Trump voters to REALLY feel what they voted for. No more feeling sorry.

Where's the reporting in front of VA facilities? Local news would be best if possible. Interview some vets. People need to hear the brutal truth of harm they are doing.

Have you heard about H.R. 70 that was just introduced to the House? "Hidden in its depths like a ticking time bomb is a provision intended to dismantle the integrated VA health care system faster than you can say "privatization." https://www.military.com/daily-news/opinions/2025/02/21/speak-va-health-care-gutted.html @votevets.org

“We love our veterans” 🙄

I deal with the VA everyday for surgery authorization. I have a team of 150 people. The VA is STILL trying to load their provider portal since 1/1…3/31 the grace period ends. ALL the surgeries will be cancelled. I can’t believe the media isn’t picking this up at all.

Canceled or delayed procedures or surgeries equals veterans dying at younger ages.

Which reduces VA costs in future years.

This is what running the government like a business looks like.

The Republican Party shows a concerning disregard for our military, our veterans, and their families, particularly the children who are affected by these decisions. It's crucial that we pay attention to how these actions impact those who have dedicated their lives to serving our country.

It is weeks past that the 25th Amendment should have already been enacted.
Are we waiting for it to get so bad that we have to actually do something?

This type of information should be shouted out daily by Democrats. Showing disdain for our military veterans should outrage everyone especially our armed forces.

If Trump/GOP continue to embrace authoritarian rule/fascism they need the military. Hopefully, they won't get it!
