From the VA, to the suicide hotline, to Afghan interpreters, and now Harvey Milk. Hegseth doesn't want to serve all servicemembers.

Today on Armed Forces Day, we honor our service members who take an oath to the Constitution, not to any one person. That’s why justice organizations like the National Institute of Military Justice are so important. #ArmedForcesDay #DefendTheConstitution

Trump is telling Afghan refugees to self-deport - including those who supported us as interpreters. This policy is not just cruel, it's a betrayal of American values & those who stood beside us in war.

The people of Florida's Congressional District 15 deserve a leader who shows up and listens to their constituents. Trump and Musk are destroying people's lives. Running away and hiding doesn't change that.

DeSantis wants to keep the regressive sales taxes in force, claiming that Canadian tourists are paying those taxes. He even wants to raise them to offset the elimination of property taxes.
Facts: Tourists only pay 16% of our sales taxes. Households pay 66% & businesses pay 18%.

Having flown hundreds of combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, I can tell you that launch times are absolutely classified.
Hypocrisy at its finest if the whole lot aren’t fired or jailed.

You know who NEVER leaked classified war plans? This 4-star general that you fired claiming he was a “DEI hire.”
The entire group should be fired immediately for the biggest national security leak in history. If i did what they did, I’d be in jail.
