Trump’s all-out assault on the VA is a complete betrayal of our Veterans.

Mark my word. This is Republicans' plan all along—

Gut the VA, then push to privatize the Department so they can fund tax cuts for billionaires.

And our heroes will pay the price. apnews.com/article/vete...

I’m sure Trump & Musk will condemn Putin for this since they claim to care so much about peace and the Ukrainian people.

Trump is reportedly looking to shrink the FDIC and consolidate it into other govt agencies.

The FDIC was created during the Depression to protect bank deposits.

This would come after Trump and DOGE shuttered the CFPB, which protects us from financial fraud.

See the pattern?

Yesterday was a victory for Moscow and for Putin. And it was a defeat for the United States and Ukraine, and for the international order and the cause of freedom.

What can you do?

Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness.

Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up.

Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards.

Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies.

Resist. Stand with others.
