#ActBlue says it does not send our text numbers to candidates & groups asking for money. Yet, these organizations direct us to Act Blue to submit our donations. You can't have it both ways, Act Blue can clearly put conditions on solicitations from organizations if it is going to process donations.

There’s lots of radical and unprecedented stuff happening inside goverment already. Including an attempted, little-publicized, highly-damaging hiring freeze at VA. A freeze that would hurt veterans nationwide.

Trump’s federal hiring freeze raises fears about VA medical care
VA hires about 40,000 new workers every year to maintain operations at VA medical sites. It's unclear if that can continue under Trump's hiring halt.

Not here to serve Americans, but rather to serve Trump. The perfect encapsulation of MAGA.

No byline on this shit. They have shocking news like 1 in 4 vets receiving benefits qualify for 100% disability giving a "generous $4000" a month for life! A young man who is 100% disabled at 25 could get up to $2M over his life! Just for being COMPLETELY DISABLED FROM SERVING!

The Economist ran this story this week. Yes...they are coming for veterans benefits. No one voted to destroy the VA or the benefits that our 15 million living veterans receive. Just 6% of Americans have served and these fuckers are coming for our hard earned benefits.
