This rule is trash.
The Trump administration vowed to protect veterans' benefits but is now using them like a piggy bank to fund corporate giveaways, straight out of Project 2025.
We'll go to the mat in Congress to stop this. Those who served deserve better. 🇺🇸

"The new regulation would allow VA to reduce disability compensation ratings for veterans who take medications to control their conditions or reduce their symptoms."

@govwesmoore.bsky.social why were schools getting closed early today to force the students not to protest?
Maybe there should be some state leaders that work with the students to protest safely instead of taking away their voices.

I've been posting about this for a long time. Time to raise awareness again: the SAVE Act would disenfranchise tens of millions of American women (including myself) whose legal names do not match the names on their birth certificates.
Lawyers say a Real ID DL wouldn't suffice to be able to vote.
