This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform — and how our government is failing them right now.
Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.

“Some people abuse SNAP” “Some people abuse Disability” “Some people abuse—“ and in literally every single situation it’s been proven time and time again that it costs taxpayers more to implement and maintain extensive red tape to deny people benefits than if we just gave them to everybody who asks.

ICE AGENTS will be held ACCOUNTABLE.
Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Someone needs to stitch together an ad with clips of Leavitt's comment that the president is focused on the Epstein Ballroom and the "Great Gatsby" party he threw there interspersed with news reports about SNAP drying up and government workers going unpaid.

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more.
That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.
It looks a lot more like preparation for war.
Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

Stop electing pricks. It’s just that simple. In the voting booth, ask yourself, “Is this guy a prick?” If the answer is yes, fucking vote for someone else.
Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana blames SNAP recipients for not stockpiling a month's worth of food.
He ends his tweet with "stop smoking crack."

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this.
But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.
