This disgusting rule change could punish disabled Vets for following their treatment plans and discourage them from seeking the care they've earned.
Yet another middle finger to our heroes from Trump, the most anti-Veteran President in history.

Q: The former Prince Andrew arrested related to Jeffrey Epstein. Do you think in this country, associates of Jeffrey Epstein will wind up in handcuffs too?
Trump: Well, you know, I'm the expert in a way because I've been totally exonerated. I can actually speak about it very nicely.

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

What a contrast:
England investigates and arrests a member of the Royal Family.
Meanwhile, the US protects a president and refuses to investigate allegations of sex with a 14 year old, or any of the other 5,300 Epstein files with references to Trump.

One country is so serious about holding Epstein Files abusers to account they arrested the King of England’s brother, on his birthday. The other country lets it’s President freely cover up his involvement in the files with absolutely no repercussions.

this is awesome. I'd like to see so much more effort from the state on this.
Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation.
Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

Yes, ma'am, we agree wholeheartedly. And the BS SCOTUS ruling that gave him immunity for the crimes he is committing against the world while in office should not protect him from the crimes he committed against children before ever being elected.

Medical neglect is such a hard case to make, I won one of the first medical neglect case in my region and it was SO hard. And tbh I’m not sure it would’ve went how it went if I didn’t have the judge I did.

I doubt that there's a more effective way to capture unitary executive theory in an image.
And because it's the DOJ building, it also captures the notion that the President is above the law.
