🚨🚨🚨 The Real Costs of Trump’s Purge of Veterans From the Government Trump keeps shredding the workforce, creating a brain drain of veterans from the federal and foreign service. Their experience can’t be replaced

The news of the leak of life-and-death operational details to a reporter lands differently with veterans and active-duty troops, who can be prosecuted for much less significant "spillage" incidents.

Let me be clear—the claim that the Administration is not impacting Veterans is a Bold. Face. Lie. They are firing Veterans, gutting programs, erasing history, and threatening our national security. Let’s set the record straight!

I joined our veterans, and the good folks who serve them, at the Minneapolis VA to make sure Trump knows our veterans don't want to see 83,000 caregivers fired.

This week, Trump signed a far-reaching executive order that voting rights experts warn is “an astonishing and unprecedented voter suppression” effort. It would upend how Americans register, how they cast their ballots, and how their votes are counted. Read @ariberman.bsky.social's latest.

It is beyond difficult to convey the gravity of this. We are on the cusp of setting back reliable weather forecasting more than 50 years. Just to let obscenely rich people gain more money and power.

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns. Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity. It’s been the plan for decades.

The top 7 donors in the 2024 election — all GOP — gave a combined $1B to buy Trump a second term. It's a gigantic amount of money in total — but it's just pocket change to them. We must get Big Money out of politics. No one from either party should be able to buy an election.

Himes: This is his life now. He’s nowhere near qualified for the position he holds, so when he gets on a Signal chat with his buddies and says, ‘We’re a go. Centcom says all in. F-18s,’ it just makes him feel really, really good. Sadly, of course, it puts our people at risk.

Trump's Social Security nominee just lied to the Finance Committee, claiming he hasn't been involved in any DOGE plans to gut Social Security. My office has a whistleblower that says otherwise. We brought the receipts.

Trump & Musk are: -Lying about Social Security fraud -Making destructive cuts to SSA staffing and phone-based services -Threatening the security of people's personal information by giving DOGE access to sensitive SSA data Social Security is in crisis entirely due to them.
