In an unforgettable Veterans Day moment, former President Barack Obama surprised dozens of Korean and Vietnam War veterans as their Honor Flight landed in Washington, D.C. The veterans, fresh off their flight from Madison, Wisconsin, were greeted by President Obama himself.

So Trump still no thanks to Veterans?

5x he got Draft deferments! Such a great college student then he got bone spurs?

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

I just hope the former Capitol PD officer who was accused in the story of being the J6 pipe bomber sues The Blaze and this writer. He got his 13 million viral views. Now it looks like maybe he’s talked to a lawyer about it.

Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare.

I won’t do that to the people I represent. I’m a NO on this “deal.”

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

(PS2) That’s why Trump never showed up. That’s why he said "fight like hell"—he knew that’d be required to get into the Capitol. That’s why Alexander and Jones fled. It may even be why a tiny number of USCP agents at the march terminus locale *may* have thought they were supposed to let marchers in.

(1 of 3) Good thing the BBC didn't talk to any January 6 experts before going in this direction.

The United States Capitol grounds were closed on January 6.

It was a federal crime to trespass on them.
