I wasted 5 years of my life trying to prevent this from happening. I blame medical establishment, organized medicine, & academic institutions that looked at us like we were crazy & never joined the fight.

1/ Veterans risked everything to defend our country. Trump’s #Project2025 will dismantle veterans’ healthcare, force them into for-profit systems, cut benefits, gut specialized care, and politicize the VA. Here’s what’s at stake and how we can fight back. 🧵
