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.

This is a clarion call. To the ones waiting for a sign, waiting for permission, waiting for someone else to go first: the moment is here. The someone is you. Veterans are in the streets. Veterans are in handcuffs. Rise with us. No war with Iran. Not again.

Senator Scott, this is nothing new, not even from this White House.

Trump's PAC is fundraising using a photo of a flag-draped casket from last week's dignified transfer of fallen soldiers. Our Georgia organizer, an Air Force veteran, heard about it and didn't hold back. "Just so he can sell a damn hat." #HonorTheFallen #VeteranVoices

Air Force SSgt Ed Anderson vs Ret. Maj. Gen. John F. King on Iran: "We are all familiar with the term mission creep. Just like Iraq and Afghanistan." Trump calls it an excursion. Veterans who've seen this before call it something else.

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

@repmcgovern.bsky.social asked Rep. Mike Bost twice if he would allow a vote on an amendment to remove new fee increases (The Mike Bost Home Tax) on VA home loans. Bost: "I would not." He called protecting veterans from a fee hike a "poison pill." Tell Congress to VOTE NO - https://bit.ly/4f0Bn3u

As kids, Memorial Day was just a day off. We didn't understand it.

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.

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.
