You called our concerns "fake news" just yesterday. You're backtracking because you know this new rule could hurt our heroes' access to care, and Veterans across the country called you on your bullshit. If you take Veterans' concerns seriously, you'd rescind the rule entirely.

Effective immediately, VA is halting enforcement of the interim final rule, Evaluative Rating: Impact of Medication. VA issued the rule to clarify existing policy and protect Veterans’ benefits in the wake of an ongoing court action. But many interpreted the rule as something

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING: Protesters in Los Angeles just projected an anti-ICE video onto a building. And it wasn’t just any building. It was Twin Towers, an ICE-linked detention facility where LASD actively collaborates with ICE for deportation screening. This is what resistance looks like when people stop pretending everything is normal.

🚨 I am getting a flood of messages from panicked @DeptVetAffairs employees that there is a bloodbath unfolding as @SecVetAffairs has quietly issued personnel guidance cutting THOUSANDS of jobs. Heavily hit is mental health and suicide prevention providers! They are gutting the VA and veterans healthcare while we aren't looking! Word is they are even gutting the brand new clinic in Fredericksburg, VA that Collins has been claiming credit for building. This is the privatization they've always dreamed of and veterans are going to pay for it! @RepVindman #veterans

When I was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space shuttle flights at NASA, and every day since I retired – which I did after my wife Gabby was shot in the head while serving her constituents. In combat, I had a missile blow up next to my jet and flew through anti-aircraft fire to drop bombs on enemy targets. At NASA, I launched on a rocket, commanded the space shuttle, and was part of the recovery mission that brought home the bodies of my astronaut classmates who died on Columbia. I did all of this in service to this country that I love and has given me so much. Secretary Hegseth’s tweet is the first I heard of this. I also saw the President’s posts saying I should be arrested, hanged, and put to death. If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution.

Just in case the pedophile president thinks he's going to pull a rabbit out of his ass and somehow stop the inevitable release of the Epstein files, survivors of Jeffrey Epstein have just released this powerful PSA. The end is near for Dirty Donald and the motherfucker knows it.

The future Pope Leo in 1982

A powerful act of leadership and gratitude! 79 heroes from the Korean & Vietnam Wars were surprised by former President Obama as they arrived in D.C. on an Honor Flight. He greeted each with a handshake and a Challenge Coin. Our veterans deserve honor. Let’s never forget.

Public Health Alert issued for St. Louis County over Coldwater Creek ksdk.com/article/news/l…

Today, a Russian strike on one of our energy substations in Slavutych caused a blackout lasting more than three hours at the former Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant facilities. This included the New Safe Confinement, which protects the environment from remnants of reactor 4 after the 1986 explosion, as well as from radioactive debris and dust. It’s also a storage facility for spent nuclear fuel, holding 80% of all the spent fuel accumulated during the NPP’s operation – fuel assemblies weighing over 3,250 tons in total. The Russians could not have been unaware that striking facilities in Slavutych would have such consequences for Chornobyl. And this was a deliberate strike, involving more than 20 drones – preliminary estimates indicate Russian-Iranian “shaheds.” Some of these drones were shot down, but the attack was specifically executed as a wave to complicate the facility’s defense. Meanwhile, the blackout at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant continues into its eighth day. It began due to Russian shelling in the area of the plant, and the Russians are doing absolutely nothing to rectify the situation or allow Ukrainian specialists to restore external power to the ZNPP, which should normally operate continuously. Russia is intentionally creating a risk of radiological incidents, taking advantage, unfortunately, of the weak stance of the IAEA and Director General Rafael Grossi, as well as the dispersed global attention. Half-hearted or weak measures will not fix the situation. Every day that Russia prolongs the war, refuses to implement a full and reliable ceasefire, and continues striking all objects of our energy infrastructure – including those critical to the safety of nuclear power plants and other nuclear facilities – is a global threat. In addition to the Chornobyl and Zaporizhzhia facilities, Ukraine has five nuclear power plants, and each of them could become a target for Russian drones and missiles. It is crucial that European countries, the United States, and the G7 and G20 nations take real action for peace and security to the fullest extent possible. Strong response and appropriate pressure on Russia are required to protect human life. I am grateful to everyone in the world who refuses to remain silent.

After the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, Pope Leo retweeted this from Senator Chris Murphy: “Your cowardice to act cannot be whitewashed by thoughts and prayers.”

@bayraktar_1love That’s not just a meeting, that’s basically the entire free world showing up to remind Trump he’s not negotiating Ukraine away like it’s a used golf cart.
