The Trump administration wants to cut VA’s staffing to pre-PACT Act levels. This will cripple the very system that millions of veterans rely on, denying them access to lifesaving health care, claims processing, and education benefits they’ve earned.

VA plans to lay off as many as 83,000 employees this year
A leaked memo released Tuesday called for VA to slash its workforce to 2019 levels that were in place before millions of veterans became newly eligible for care.

In 2020, the military was adamant about refusing to get involved in the election. That's why Trump hates General Mark Milley so much. Now, Trump is transforming the military into one that will back him up in 2029. We need to figure out how to prepare for that eventuality.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...
This is the most dangerous move yet

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Today is a good day to order half a dozen or so Morning After Pills, before they stop being so readily available.

If you use Amazon, they have a generic for well under $7 each, if you schedule/shop for them.

Diversity is a fact: All kinds of people exist.

Equity is a goal: All kinds of people deserve a chance at success.

Inclusion is how we get to equity. By including them, they can achieve success.

It's that simple.

I do not want to share this, but we have to look at what’s happening.
This is happening right now about 15 minutes from where I live in Cincinnati. These are the demons that have been unleashed

Good, they need to be held accountable for the shenanigans they’re pulling instead of doing any real work to learn about agencies and then lawfully work on suggestions for changes in a reasonable time frame.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.
