Trump’s Pentagon is erasing Navajo Code Talkers—Indigenous warriors who helped win WWII—from military websites. This isn’t about “efficiency.” It’s about whitewashing history and erasing those who don’t fit his MAGA narrative. MORE: www.axios.com/local/salt-l...

Another betrayal of Americans and American values

Republicans say they love Veterans, but we know the truth.

Perhaps a draft dodger is unfit to be the President.

If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.

🚨HUGE: Sen. Roger Marshall couldn’t take the heat—so he bailed. After getting grilled over Elon Musk & Trump firing Veterans, he walked out of his own town hall. The crowd let him have it, with one voter shouting: “We’re gonna vote you out.” Kansas voters aren't having it!

Following a White House anti-DEI order, the National Cryptologic Museum covered up exhibits of women and people of color in its Hall of Honor. The NSA reversed course after former employees mobilized.

🚨🚨 26 Senate Dems, led by Sen. Blumenthal, DEMAND the Secretary of the VA step up and defend Veterans from Elon Musk’s data grab. Elon has NO RIGHT to our private health information. THANK YOU Senators for standing up for Veterans!

🚨🚨🚨 Trump and his billionaire buddies have NO business touching Veterans' healthcare. Hands OFF our VA!

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

This February, we honor Black History Month. Black Hoosiers helped make our state a bastion of freedom before the Civil War, and Indiana is stronger because of our diversity. We must continue the fight for fairness.

Generations of Black patriots have fought in every battle. In every war. They fought when that freedom didn’t include them. Black History is, and will ALWAYS be, American History. #BlackHistoryMonth

The Commander in Chief is politicizing the deaths of not only 67 lives, but three Servicemembers. His hatred for those who serve knows no bounds. His disdain for women knows no limits. His empathy for those left behind is nonexistent. Absolutely DISGRACEFUL.

He's not blaming DEI, he's blaming women and non white people.

A reminder: the GWBush Admin built a prison at Gitmo not because of its size or facilities, but on the theory that because it was not in the US, US laws would not apply, and because US didn't recognize Cuban sovereignty over it Cuban law didn't either. It's a stateless, lawless zone of impunity.

Someone who has dodged the draft five times should not be standing in the way of those who have the courage to volunteer.

History erased. The Tuskegee Airmen’s legacy is no longer part of Air Force training for new recruits.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943
