They say they're pro-veteran. Then they cut VA healthcare, gut food assistance, and ask for $200 billion more for war. We are not letting that slide.

They told us 18 troops were hurt in Iran. The real number is 140. An Iraq veteran and Common Defense political director just said what that means. #IranWar #VeteranVoices
In March, Rep. Mike Bost promised to have Veterans' backs "all the time" as a fellow Marine. Now that the VA plans to eliminate 35,000 healthcare jobs, Chairman Bost says, "change can be a good thing," while veterans are already waiting 60 to 90 days for services in some regions.
Patriotism means holding our leaders accountable for the missions they order. There is a fundamental disconnect between D.C. briefing rooms and the reality on the ground. Our troops deserve clear objectives and a real path home
Please don't say "Happy Memorial Day" to a veteran. This day is not a celebration. It is to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our country and defend democracy at home and around the world. We remember them.
Bost found a billion dollars for Trump's White House ballroom with no offset, no problem. Veterans asked for a billion in disability benefits, and he's making other veterans pay THOUSANDS each in new home loan fees to cover it. A ballroom. Sign the letter, take a stand - https://bit.ly/4f0Bn3u
History is repeating itself, and the cost is measured in American lives. From inadequate gear to unfortified bases, we are seeing the same systemic failures that defined the start of the Iraq War. Our troops deserve leaders who learn from the past, not ones who repeat it.
They talk about war in press conferences. We pay for it at the gas station, the grocery store, and around the kitchen table. A veteran who deployed to Iraq breaks down what another forever war actually costs the people footing the bill. #EndForeverWar #NoWarOnOurStreets
Jake Lang, cosplaying in Temu tactical gear and Lululemon camo, allegedly vandalized our permitted art. He’s been arrested and is allegedly facing felony charges. He’ll have his day in court; we fought for that right. Real discipline leads; dress-up doesn't. #CommonDefense #Veterans #MNLeg
The Middle East war drums are beating again. Zero Congressional authorization. Zero case made to anyone. Same playbook: manufactured threats, bypass Congress, rush to war. The Constitution says Congress declares war, not one person.

In a rare appearance on Hungary's state television, Peter Magyar slammed the Orbán-aligned network as a "lie factory" and North Korean-style propaganda. He vowed that once his Tisza party takes power, they will completely shut down the current apparatus and replace it with truly independent media.

CNN just played the montage and it’s devastating — months of Trump swearing gas prices would drop, back to back to back. He was so confident. He was so wrong. The tape doesn’t lie.
Whirling Dervishes are linked to the 13th-century Persian poet and mystic Rumi. The centuries-old Sufi ceremony represents the soul’s mystical journey toward divine love and truth. A form of worship, this observer in Cappadocia, Turkey was entranced.

What is Real Yoga? Yoga for the body is asana. Yoga for verbalization is understanding and expressing the original sutras. Without the root scriptures, yoga becomes incomplete. This clarity restores the authentic purpose of yoga as revealed in its original tradition. Nithyananda Yoga offers this int

For weeks, I’ve been highlighting the huge amounts of money flooding into this race from crypto, Big Tech, and AIPAC to install Oracle lobbyist Adrian Boafo in Congress. This is exactly what the Citizens United decision unleashed, and why Congress must overturn it. Let's stop this open corruption.
