Maybe Hegseth and Trump could also send 500 National Guard members to Kentucky, to help administer pertussis vaccines. Since saving lives is their thing. www.wlwt.com/article/kent...

I'm tired of responding to bad-faith MAGA outrage, which always distracts corporate media, centrists, & those who feel they must indulge their temper tantrums. They're blaming all of us now for the National Guard shooting. Just say: "Fuck Off, Release the Epstein Files, and Happy Thanksgiving."

NEW: The two shot National Guard troops never should have been in DC. More troops is no answer. The violence is horrible and unacceptable. Trump, Pete Hegseth, and West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey never should have put the troops in this position. Tonight, at Law Dork:

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.

The FBI redirected lots of agents to work on deporting people who came to the U.S. illegally, but who were not involved in separate criminal activity. Perhaps if they'd been working on terrorism and violence cases, the two National Guard agents would not have been shot.

Military families on day 9 of the shutdown lining up at the food bank

Trump is the abusive spouse. Here's what he'll do: Hold back SNAP payments, food assistance, so 4 million people, families, children, the elderly & disabled, vets & military, will go hungry. Then he'll swoop in and restore it as if HE PERSONALLY is giving them food, feeding them himself like a god.

🚨When you feel you and your family require housing on a military base - to be “safe,” you are the problem. When these people are members of the president’s senior admin/advisory staff, they are (collectively) our problem. They have declared themselves enemies of the people. 1/2

Our military families shouldn’t suffer because the House GOP won't do their job.    One Marine Corps family from my district is now without pay during this shutdown — their only income frozen.    Stories like these remind us of the stakes of this shutdown. Those who serve our nation deserve better.

DOD civilians at home and abroad, many of whom are veterans or military family members, say morale is low and falling fast as the government shutdown drags on leaving them without pay. And for many, the shutdown was one more burden in a year of

TOP TRUMP OFFICIALS ARE HIDING INSIDE MILITARY BASES - SOMETHING BIG IS COMING. Multiple senior Trump officials have quietly relocated into military housing around Washington, D.C., citing "concerns for their personal safety." According to The Atlantic: Stephen Miller and his family reportedly fled.

November is Military Family Month – a time to share the stories and honor the sacrifices of our military families stationed across the world.

To my fellow vets: this is what we swore to defend against. The President is making up a "rebellion" to use Title 10 and turn soldiers against civilians in the U.S. We must stand with Portland and demand our brothers and sisters in the Guard are not used this way. abc3340.com/news/nation-...

The country we served now has a plan to deport over 100,000 non-citizen veterans. These are our brothers and sisters. They served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now, they are afraid that they will be abandoned. This is a profound betrayal of everyone who took the oath. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

We can't just call #veterans "heroes" and then abandon them to their trauma. Untreated #PTSD, moral injury, and #TBI are a public health crisis. This shooting is a horrific symptom of that failure. Thoughts and prayers are a coward's excuse for inaction. www.cnn.com/2025/09/28/u...

$20 billion for a right-wing ally's election "bridge" while our own bridges and vets crumble here at home. This isn't aid; it's a political slush fund. From Iraq to Argentina, the playbook is the same:back the favored strongman, ignore the suffering of the people. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

No matter the target or ideology, political violence is never acceptable. This anger isn't just about a bullet. #CharlieKirk #MAGAViolence It's about the system they built on lies and hate, which was always going to lead to this. Now, they want to finish the job.

Trump’s call to “beat the hell” out of his opponents is not leadership; it’s incitement. We need de-escalation, not escalation. We need unity, not division. We must not allow this tragedy to be used as justification for more violence. #CharlieKirk

To my fellow veterans We fought for a country that is now debating whether to kill homeless people instead of helping them. This is a betrayal of our service. Hold policymakers accountable! Support housing, healthcare, and humanity. #LeftVeterans #SolidarityNotSavagery

My guess here is less that he developed some compassion for vulnerable people than that it was pointed out to him that homelessness is a big problem with white veterans many of whom are conservative. Hard to wave the flag and say support the troops and simultaneously suggest they should be murdered

“If you can’t honor a man by quoting him directly because his own words seem disparaging to his legacy, then perhaps you shouldn’t try to honor him at all.” Watch my latest here: www.youtube.com/live/2Mv50KZ...

Charlie Kirk built his movement by demonizing others. #PoliticalViolence #CharlieKirk However, his assassination was a horrific act that we must unequivocally condemn. However, we must also condemn the hypocrisy of those who exploit his death to incite violence against the left.

#CharlieKirk’s tragic death reminds us that violence has no place in our democracy. Let's honor his memory by recommitting to respectful debate and rejecting all forms of extremism. #Democracy

The same people who cheered when a teenager opened fire at a Black Lives Matter protest are now crying "political violence" because the monster they created has turned on them. we mourn the loss of life, but not the ideology. My solidarity is with those he marginalized. #CharlieKirk

A National Guard report accidentally emailed to the Post says veterans and active-duty troops view the D.C. deployment with "shame and alarm" @alexhorton.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The FBI’s changing statements about the suspect have fueled confusion and conspiracy theories. This investigation requires transparency and accountability, not politicization. Justice must be served based on facts, not partisan agendas. #Charliekirk www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The White House attacks museums for ‘divisive’ history while its VP erases factual history. WWII ended through total victory—not negotiation—and began with fascist invasions like Japan’s in 1931. This isn’t diplomacy; it’s betrayal. #DefendTruth #StopFascism

For 80 years, his Purple Heart—a symbol of unimaginable sacrifice—gathered dust. While politicians send young men to fight their wars, the real heroes are forgotten. Stephen Grabowski survived a grenade blast only to be buried by bureaucracy. #WWII #veterans www.chicagotribune.com/2025/08/22/c...

Would Vance have ‘negotiated’ with Japan after they raped Nanking? Or with Hitler after Auschwitz? WWII wasn’t ended by chat rooms. True history: WWII began with Japan’s invasion of China in 1931. The world’s silence led to global catastrophe. This isn’t statesmanship—it’s historical illiteracy.

President Trump invoked Section 740 of the D.C. Home Rule Act to deploy 800 National Guard troops and place the Metropolitan Police Department under federal control, overseen by Attorney General Pam Bondi. #Epstein

Trump Admin LIED to the courts & IMMEDIATELY stripped collective bargaining rights from 400,000+ VA workers after promising to wait. This is a cowardly attack on those who care for veterans. Trump Administration Begins to Strip Federal Workers of Union Protections www.nytimes.com/2025/08/06/u...

OVER 400,000 WOMEN VETS live in states banning abortion. This isn't just about veterans—it also affects their spouses & children on CHAMPVA. Stand with our veterans! Trump administration moves to end veterans’ abortion access in cases of rape, incest and health kansasreflector.com/2025/08/04/r...

📍 Veterans, VA workers, and union allies showed up and spoke out at the Minneapolis VA during Sec. Collins' visit. #VetsRising #ProtectTheVA #VANotForSale

As one we are a drop of water. Together we are a flood!

Veterans(Left Wing): The Pentagon aims to cut anywhere from 50,000 to 60,000 civilian jobs -- many of them occupied by veterans or military spouses.

BREAKING: Over 35,000 people have gathered for the Bernie Sanders “Fighting Oligarchy” rally in Los Angeles. Can confirm that this is the biggest @sanders.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social rally ever. #wtpBLUE

Veterans(Left Wing): Expand & fully fund the VA. No copays, no waitlists. Mental health care as a RIGHT—not a privilege. #MedicareForAll

Veterans(Left Wing): Project 2025 and Musk’s DOGE dishonor vets’ families with cuts. Fund survivors, not their dystopia! #HonorVets #project2025

Veterans(Left Wing): As the US stock markets tumbled after the imposition of retaliatory tariffs, US President Donald Trump defends his tariffs, says' $7 Trillion already invested in America...' #StockMarketCrash #DonaldTrump

Veterans(Left Wing): As a vet, I earned a pension—Project 2025 and Musk’s DOGE want it gone. Raise it, don’t raze it! #PensionForVets #50501#project2025

Veterans(Left Wing): 80k VA jobs cut? That’s vets like me losing livelihoods to Musk’s DOGE scheme. Protect our jobs—stop gutting the VA for billionaire tax breaks. #SaveVetsJobs #NoToProject2025

Veterans(Left Wing): Veterans sacrificed for us—why should they fight for disability pay? Streamline the VA process, boost funding, and honor their service with dignity. #VeteransDeserveBetter #FundTheVA

Signalgate endangers not only our troops, but every American.

Veterans(Left Wing): Veterans shouldn’t sleep on the streets. Fund housing programs, cut red tape, and make homeownership accessible. A roof over their heads is the least we owe. #EndVetHomelessness #HousingIsARight

Veterans(Left Wing): Older vets and those with disabilities deserve a pension that lets them live with dignity. Increase funding, simplify claims, and support those who served. #PensionForVets #DignityInRetirement

Veterans(Left Wing):Honor veterans in life and death. Fully fund burial benefits and support survivors with real resources. Their service deserves more than a flag—give their families security. #HonorOurVets #SupportSurvivors

Veterans(Left Wing): Veterans stand for merit, not DEI. Forced quotas in hiring, critical race training, and gender-based promotions undermine our sacrifice. We fought for equality under the law—not divisive policies. #VeteransAgainstDEI

Veterans(left wing):We can stand up for vets, but we can also stand up against a wannabe dictator. It's happening right in front of us and I hope the current military members have been contemplating their oath to protect the country from all enemies. #Veterans
