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

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.

Fear is the whole strategy. Make people feel alone, make them feel small, make them stay home. It does not work when we show up anyway. Every single time. This country belongs to you. Who else is showing up? #NoWarOnOurStreets #VeteranAdvocacy"

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.
Iraq veteran and Common Defense Political Director Naveed: "The lies behind this illegal war with Iran are the same lies that took us into Iraq. I will not stay silent." We are in the streets today. #NoKings #CommonDefense

@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

When you have a president who's running the country like a mob boss instead of a government, who's running the government for himself, of himself, and by himself, and for his cronies, instead of the people, by the people,and for the people,there's only one solution,and that's impeachment and removal
