As expected, MAGA is coming after disability benefits for combat veterans.
Here's just one example of the rule's impact: Veterans taking anti-depressants for PTSD will be forced to stop taking the medication in order to retain their disability payments.

Veterans slam new VA rule for determining disability ratings
The new rule states that a disability level must be based on how well a veteran functions while on medication and not on the underlying impairment.

Either violent criminals are preventing you from getting higher wages or JD Vance has grown so lazy from all the lying that he can’t even pretend to care what he says out loud.
JD Vance: "What we have consistently said is that we want to deport violent criminals, people who came in under the Biden administration, and get them out of the country so Americans' wages can go up."

The current person in charge of ICE's procurement for detention is a GEO Group executive who ran the company's immigration detention portfolio. He was granted an "ethics waiver" from DHS allowing him to hand out contracts to GEO in his new role.

Complaining that following the Constitution will stop you from doing the thing you want to do is... an admission that what you want to do is unconstitutional.
You swore an oath to defend the Constitution. You are violating that oath, Rep. Alford. Time to go home and let someone else do the job.

LEFT: Someone who appears in the Epstein files over a million times. Epstein called him his "best friend."
RIGHT: Someone never mentioned in the Epstein files—even once. And she never met him.
So guess which one is being hauled before our corrupt, cover-upping Congress to testify about Epstein.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.
