VoteVets didn’t flinch — we led.

From confronting GOP cruelty to town halls in deep-red states, we’re elevating Veteran voices, organizing for 2026, and taking back the flag.

"It's a political gift to fossil fuel donors that will raise electricity bills for U.S. households and increase our risk of blackouts." - @janessagoldbeck.bsky.social, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and CEO of Vet Voice Foundation.

Vet Voice Foundation has been key in advising courts about the damage these deployments have done to the Guard and military. We're heartened by this decision but won't rest until all Guardsmen get to return home to their families and communities.
We are pleased the court agreed with us: deploying National Guard troops in this manner is unwarranted and damaging to our military. Maintaining the clear line between domestic policing and military service is essential for our institutional integrity.

Did you hear about the new Trump-class ships? When you send them to battle, they suddenly get bone spurs and turn the other way.

Trump suspending offshore wind under the guise of "national security" is a political gift to fossil fuel donors that actually makes us less safe. It spikes energy bills, increases blackout risks, and weakens our energy independence. Clean energy IS security.

In 2019, Rob & Michelle Reiner joined VoteVets to film a powerful ad featuring Rob’s father, Carl, a World War II Army Air Force veteran. In it, Carl and other veterans called out Donald Trump for failing to uphold his oath to the Constitution. The Reiners' support meant the world to us.

The Kennedy Center is a memorial to a war hero who ultimately gave his life for this country. Trump and MAGA may think it's funny trolling to "own the libs," but the rest of America believes those who served and sacrificed deserve respect.

U.S. service members are increasingly seeking outside legal advice over the Trump administration’s illegal strikes on suspected drug boats. Troops express ethical distress over killing outside the laws of war, fearing future accountability. #NoForeverWars

Yeah, so about that "warrior bonus."

“Why should I care if criminals are killed?” I see this comment everywhere. Here’s why it matters: these boat strikes aren’t war, they’re law enforcement. When the government can execute people without trial, the rule of law collapses. Due process protects Americans and U.S. service members.

LOL. If you're keeping score at home, Hegseth has released every strike video -- including the first strike on this boat -- but claims the murder/war crime video is "top secret."

For years we have said the Republican goal was to privatize the VA, and Project 2025 underscored that. Now, the VA is about to transfer a trillion dollars worth of VA care to the for-profit sector, and ask that it only adhere to private health care industry standards of care.
December 16, 2025 at 12:32 AM
This is outrageous. It is abundantly clear that Republicans and the Trump administration want to strangle the VA until it all get privatized.

New reporting this afternoon that Pete Hegseth ordered that the military kill passengers, destroy the boat and drugs, and that is what was the basis of the second strike on shipwrecked survivors. It is unclear if military lawyers advising commanders said it was legal. #NoForeverWars

Veterans have given so much to our country. It's time we give back.

New Dems just released our Agenda to Support our Veterans. This crucial framework works to ensure that all veterans receive the benefits & support that they deserve.

DHS Secretary Noem lied under oath to the House Homeland Security Committee today.

She denied deporting U.S. military veterans, but the record shows it’s happening right now on her watch.

Our heroes deserve protection—not betrayal and perjury.

Trump’s DOJ is using secret memos to justify lethal boat strikes, mirroring the Bush-era "torture memos." By redefining drug cartels as military foes, MAGA lawyers are creating a legal shield for extrajudicial killings and bypassing congressional oversight. #NoForeverWars

22 illegal US military boat strikes have killed at least 87 people, yet the Trump administration won't provide its justification. Americans deserve to see the evidence supporting this violence. Transparency isn't optional when lives are lost. Release the memo now! #NoForeverWars
