Donald Trump's sick fixation on people's personal body parts means that the PACT Act has now been rolled back, and many male veterans who get breast cancer will no longer be allowed treatment at the VA. Should they die of it, their death is on Trump and the GOP's hands. #PACTAct

Great to meet US Dept of Veterans Affairs Health Administration Under Secretary Dr. Shereef Elnahal and discuss our work together to improve access to care for veterans across NW Ohio. I fought to pass the #PACTAct and won’t stop fighting to get those who served their earned VA benefits and care.

Dear US Miltary Veterans,
Let me remind you for the next time you go to vote…
✔️It was Democrats who voted for the PACT Act, Republicans who voted against it!
✔️The tRvmp administration will cut 80,000 jobs from the VA, essentially rendering the #PACTAct unworkable!

Trump plans to diminish the Department of Veterans Affair by 30,000 employees.
Veterans fear this will delay progress on important work, like the work being done under the PACT Act, to get care to those who need it the most.

Many VA employees were hired after the PACTAct passed in 22 to help with the prospective onslaught of hundreds of thousands of new claims. Some of these “benefits” folks have been fired. Does this help or hurt veterans’ care? mynorthwest.com/local/washin...

Trump said on Saturday that Iran’s nuke enrichment facilities were “completely and totally obliterated.”
That doesn’t appear true. But satellite imagery tells us a lot about the extent of the damage and the strategy behind the attack.

What Satellite Images Reveal About the US Bombing of Iran's Nuclear Sites
The US concentrated its attack on Fordow, an enrichment plant built hundreds of feet underground. Aerial photos give important clues about what damage the “bunker-buster” bombs may have caused.
