🚨 NEW: VoteVets is launching a six-figure ad blitz across TV, streaming, digital, and billboards—exposing GOP Veterans dodging constituents while Musk’s DOGE fires thousands of Veterans. They promised to fight for Veterans—now they’re silent. Stop Elon’s war on Veterans. Demand Congress act!

“I was hungry” and you cut $1 Billion in funding to schools and food banks. “I was sick” and you worked to gut medicaid, depriving me of healthcare. “I was a stranger” and you defined my humanity by legal status. “What ever you do to the least of these, you do unto me.”-Jesus

Trump, Musk and Republicans in Congress are gutting services, raising prices, and racing towards slashing Medicaid, Social Security, and other life-saving programs. It’s time to fight back. app.sosha.ai/s/QTcAZw0k

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.
