In addition to kicking 250,000+ Veterans off their health coverage, don't forget:

Trump fired more Veterans than any other President and is hellbent on firing thousands of VA workers as well.

He doesn't care about Veterans or middle-class families.

He only cares about himself.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen @shaheen.senate.gov · 1d

If my Republican colleagues fail to work with us, 267,000 veterans will lose their health care, according to a new report from the Urban Institute.

These are Americans who put their lives on the line for our nation, who will be priced out of health care if Congress doesn’t act.

the law hasn't stopped him yet

as long as he (i.e., Stephen Miller) believes he has plenary authority, he will do as he pleases

(reminder: his little finger alone is on the n-word)

I'm old enough to remember he had a conversation with the president of the Virgin Islands after Hurricanes Irma and Maria

who needs friends? 🤷🏽‍♀️
(three's a crowd)

Tяump said he "talked to the president of Puerto Rico." So, basically he had a conversation with himself.

Tяump is going to Walter Reed for his 2nd "annual check-up" in 6 months

having studied this man intensely for 9 years, I can say with confidence, judging from his new obsession with heaven, someone has told the real estate developer he's about to "buy the farm"

Are we going to have to apologize to the QAnon people for calling them crazy when they insisted there was a pedophile cabal running Washington?

I’m starting to think they might not have been serious about wanting to stop fentanyl smuggling and child sex trafficking

Bill Grueskin @bgrueskin.bsky.social · 2d

“A federal team in El Paso that once pursued child traffickers has been disbanded.

“A task force in Kansas focused on stemming fentanyl has been redirected.

“Highway checkpoints near the border—on roads identified as major drug-trafficking routes—have gone unstaffed”

Senators Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego slammed Speaker Mike Johnson for refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, accusing him of blocking her to hide Epstein files. Johnson claimed it’s the shutdown, but critics call it a blatant, politically motivated cover-up.

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

Brig. Gen. Alan Gronewold stated that if the Oregon National Guard were deployed, they would protect protesters, not ICE, prioritizing citizens’ safety and civil liberties—a strong stance earning widespread approval.

So yesterday a reporter asked Donald Trump about the writ of habeas corpus, and he had no idea what it was.

"I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi."

Well, It turns out Sen. Hassan asked Kristi Noem about it in May, and this was Noem's response:

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · May 20

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect
