Broken Promises: Deported veterans struggle to access entitled benefits
The Daily Journal has more journalists covering the California legal profession than any other publication.
www.dailyjournal.com
"No one knows how many veterans who protected us while serving in the United States military have been deported, often to countries they haven't seen since they were babies."
On paper, they are eligible for benefits from the VA, but there are many obstacles.

Now THERE'S a concrete proposal. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has stated that if Ukraine is allowed into NATO, it will happily sink all Russian navy ships operating near Greenland, just as they have sunk the Russian fleet in the Black Sea.
Sounds like a great deal to me, and Ukraine can deliver.

This question is asked with unsettling regularity — and the answer remains unchanged. Yes, the war continues.
For millions of Ukrainians, it's not a distant headline but a relentless, everyday experience marked by a constant threat to life.

The White House is doubling down on racism by posting a digitally altered photo of a Black woman on the official WH page. It was altered to make her skin look darker, coarser, and dirty -- mods designed to trigger Trump's alt-right base. See for yourself in a side-by-side comparison on this page.

Foreign athletes and visitors should boycott the World Cup In the USA unless they want to be "detained" by ICE like San Francisco Giants Star Jung Hoo Lee was at LAX. Seriously, the USA is not safe.

Can we please protect the children?
I remember being a kid and being told to go back to Africa. And that was before Trump. Kids right now have it so much worse. The cruelty is louder, more public, more sanctioned.
Shelter the little ones. No one deserves this treatment, but especially not them.

Maybe Jack Smith should take a look at the Epstein files. Since the DOJ can magically move heaven and earth for phone metadata, gag orders, and airtight timelines… but somehow can’t manage transparency for the girls and women Epstein exploited for 30 years.

So Congress has one job now: stop performing oversight and start enforcing it. Write the referee into the LAW + the BUDGET: a must-pass DOJ funding rider that requires a public release schedule, victim-safe redaction rules, and weekly page counts…all certified by an independent monitor.
