  1. > As of January, the Pentagon has planned a six-month review of women in ground combat jobs. But we already know women perform effectively in combat. Kris Fuhr, a West Point graduate who worked on gender integration at Army Forces Command, called the review “a solution for a problem that doesn’t exist,” and pointed to an Army study running from 2018 to 2023 showing women in ground combat units performed as well as men, and in some cases better.

  4. Congrats to @chedrickgreene who won the special #election for the #Michigan state senate last night. A Saginaw fire captain and former U.S. Marine, he won with 60% of the vote, defeating Republican Jason Tunney in a crucial special election that keeps Democrats in control of the chamber through the end of 2026. #uspol #uspolitics #VoteVets #elections

    Generations of Black patriots have fought in every battle. In every war.

    They fought when that freedom didn’t include them.

    While progress has been made, there’s more to be done.

    Black History is American History.

  8. $200 mill on a gold ballroom while Vets lose their health care – VoteVets.org

    Paul, Travis here.

    You ever see something that instantly gets under your skin?

    I’ll admit, it’s happening to me a lot more than usual this year. And yesterday, something happened that really, really set me off.

    Trump announced he’s putting in a $200 million gilded ballroom at the White House. Yeah, they’re blowing $200 million on a big room for people to come and bow before Trump.

    That’s after Trump already paved over Jackie Kennedy’s Rose Garden. After he extorted Qatar for a $400 million jet, which is gonna cost $1 billion to get up to code, that he’s going to take personal possession of after he leaves office. After he threw himself a birthday parade at the cost of $45 million at minimum. After he’s taken something like 100 trips to his own golf courses on taxpayer dime — way more already than at this point in his first term.

    Napkin math, that’s probably pushing $2 billion right there. And we’re not even getting into his crypto schemes and the global “deals” funnelling billions of dollars into his bank account.

    You already know what’s happening back in the real world. The VA’s lost thousands of doctors, nurses, researchers, therapists, and caregivers. He’s selling off public lands to the highest bidder. He’s kicking literally hundreds of millions of people off their health care when they’re already struggling to get by. People can’t afford basic necessities because of his tariffs.

    Trump can afford to blow $200 million on a golden ballroom at the White House but he can’t afford to help Veterans, the elderly, sick and hungry kids.

    This is Marie Antoinette on steroids.

    But that’s why I’m proud I get to work at VoteVets. It’s my job to find and build networks of support for thousands of Veterans around the country who decided to take a really tough step into public service. The only way we get to the other side of this is if people like them continue stepping up to put the country before themselves.

    It’s not easy. It takes tons of work, and time away from your family and friends. You don’t get days off. It shouldn’t be this tough, but that’s the world we live in right now.

    I’m proud of all of them. And I’m just so grateful I get to help them out.

    The reality though, is that this work isn’t cheap. And sometimes it requires us making tough asks of the people who support us. Today is one of those days.

    So, I’m humbly asking you: Can you make a donation to VoteVets today and help us lay the groundwork for taking back the House and the Senate next year? It’s our only shot at stopping Trump, and we’ve got to start now if we’re gonna have any chance. 

    Thanks so much for the help.

    Travis

  11. Trump and Musk don't care about veterans. Every day they further destroy what made America great.

  12. No one elected Elon Musk.

    He has no statutory authority to do anything.

    He is breaking the law, accessing classified information,
    hacking into essential government infrastructure,
    providing absolutely ZERO transparency,
    and taking a hatchet to congressionally authorized government agencies.

    How long until he comes after the VA?

    We don’t intend to let it get that far.
    It’s time to fire Elon.

    #VoteVets is suing Elon Musk and his fake department alongside an army of partner organizations.

    We’re asking you to chip in $2
    (or more if you can afford it)
    to help us cover the cost.

    If you do, we’ll send you our brand new “FIRE ELON” sticker.

  13. I don't know if this is common knowledge but it's probably good to repost in case some military folks aren't aware. We know it's only a matter of time before they're ordered to go against the Constitution. #VoteVets #DemCast #DemocracyNotDictatorship #calltoactivism

  15. In 2020, Biden won the election thanks to fewer than 45,000 votes in three key states, #Arizona, #Georgia, and #Wisconsin.

    Out of every #vote in the United states, it came down to 45,000 votes in three states. Wow!

    If you know anyone in a swing state, encourage them to register, check their registration, and VOTE!!

    If you're outside a swing state, sign up to call or text to answer questions and encourage those to vote!

    Though this means to keep up the the pressure.

    #Volunteer, #Donate talk to others, post on social media.

    Remind people to check their voter registration OR register.

    Then #vote .. and mail those ballots in early if applicable (USPS is still mucking around!!).

    Then check to make sure your vote was counted and that there were no "issues".

    52 days remaining!!

    We can do this!!!

  17. "Trump’s on the run, panicked as his insults against those who serve catch up with him.

    From mocking the wounded to turning military cemeteries into political stunts, he [ #Trump ] disrespects everything we stand for.

    We’re making sure no Service member EVER has to salute him as Commander in Chief again."
