Mr. Musk plans to layoff 83,000 workers at the VA. That means lower quality care for our vets. Unacceptable.
I agree with the VFW: The VA must “reconsider its planned reduction of 83,000 employees & thoroughly review any proposed cuts prior to rolling out further announcements.”

Putin was counting on Trump. He was Russia’s only hope. And Trump is now delivering for Putin.
If the US had continued to support Ukraine, we may have been months away from the end of the war. The Russians would not have been able to continue to fight for much longer. They were making almost no progress, taking huge casualties.

Stop Musk Now Or Face Certain Collapse | Washington Spectator
The American constitutional order has been broken, and it’s not clear it can be recovered. Many are still in denial about it, and continue to report on political machinations, business as usual.
