It’s official: Colorado just passed a law requiring background checks, safety training, and a permit to buy assault-style weapons. Vet Voice Foundation advocated for this bill—because Veterans know what these weapons can do. This isn’t extreme. It’s common sense.

Republicans in the House just passed the SAVE Act. It tells Troops overseas, disabled Veterans, and Military Families: We don’t want you to vote. That’s not “election security.”  That’s voter suppression.

"Rather than threatening bombs and war and taking our military's focus off the Indo-Pacific, Trump should focus on diplomacy unless he is prepared to let a costly war with Iran be his main accomplishment heading into the 2026 midterms." - MG (Ret.) Paul Eaton, Senior Advisor to VoteVets

Marine Corps Veteran Janessa Goldbeck, CEO of Vet Voice Foundation, is sounding the alarm: The SAVE Act would make it harder for Troops, disabled Veterans, and military families to vote—by requiring in-person proof most can’t access. This isn’t security. It’s voter suppression.

This is the Commander-in-Chief? Trump accidentally calls the wrong McMaster, then yells at him—and we’re supposed to trust him with our national security and the lives of our Troops? This isn’t leadership. It’s a liability. MORE: www.cbsnews.com/news/h-r-mcm...

A fight is BREWING: Commander of U.S. European Command warns—don’t pull Troops from Europe. It puts allies at risk. Meanwhile, Trump’s tanking the economy and silencing anyone who pushes back. So who’s Trump really siding with—our military, or Putin? Seems pretty damn clear.

Back in 2018, Trump wanted to throw a massive Military parade in DC. He ended up walking it back. @votevets.org was a big reason for that by giving him and his administration hell for it. They got enough people speaking out, and they got him to cancel. BUT, the parade is back.

Trump’s Pentagon is moving to pull thousands of U.S. Troops from Europe—abandoning our allies and handing Putin exactly what he wants. This isn’t strength. It’s betrayal. This isn’t America First. It’s Putin’s playbook. And it puts us all at risk. MORE: www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

The SAVE Act is straight-up voter suppression. Military ID? Doesn’t count. Driver’s license? Not enough. Overseas? Too bad—go find your birth certificate. It targets Troops, spouses, and women—on purpose. And they know it.

Top Trump officials—including SecDef Pete Hegseth—sent live strike details in a Signal chat while U.S. pilots were in the air. This was NOT a glitch. It was a RECKLESS national security disaster. They put lives at risk—and they’re still in charge. We won’t let this be swept under the rug.

Trump’s VA is killing a program that’s helped 17,000 Veterans keep their homes. You read that right: Republicans are shutting down a rescue plan that’s literally kept Veterans from losing everything. Cruel doesn’t begin to cover it. This is deliberate. MORE: www.npr.org/2025/04/03/n...

“One of the hardest things for retention is when Military Spouses can’t find work.” - Sen. Ruben Gallego Elon Musk and the DOGE boys don’t get it. Cutting remote jobs for spouses and disabled Vets isn’t just cruel—it weakens our force. You can’t recruit and retain when you gut the support system.

🚨Sen. Tim Kaine is sounding the alarm: Trump’s war on Veterans is deliberate. Thousands of Vets are being fired with no way to fight back. Clinics are opening with a third of the staff they need. Care is collapsing. “When you know Veterans will be hurt—and do it anyway—that’s a choice.”

🔥Sen. Tammy Duckworth came with fire: “Cadet Bone Spurs couldn’t define sacrifice if you handed him a dictionary open to the word.” Trump’s SecDef Hegseth leaked classified info, put Troops at risk, and it was called a “glitch.” It wasn’t a glitch. It was a damn disgrace.

Don’t call it reform—it’s a quiet war on Social Security. ✅ Social Security supports 73 million Americans—including 7.7 million Veterans ✅ Trump & Musk want to privatize it, raise the retirement age, and slash benefits ✅ That would gut retirement for working families & those who served
