Our nation’s veterans have made countless sacrifices for our safety.
We owe it to them to expand employment opportunities, affordable housing, and health services. Mass cuts to the VA staff is shameful and will only harm VA beneficiaries.

Trump’s claim that “he who saves his country, violates no law” echoes mass murderer Anders Breivik. Breivik, an avowed neo-nazi, killed 69 at a Norwegian summer camp in 2011. Attribution to Napoleon is dubious at best, but from Hitler to Putin, it has been used as a pretext for authoritarianism.
