My grandfather fought in WWII, Korea, Vietnam and spent years and Germany during the Cold War over his 31 years of service. His 1LT died in his arms at the Busan Perimeter in August 1950. He played dead as Chinese soldiers checked the bodies strewn across the battlefield. 1/

The 2019 levels were before passage of the PACT Act expanding eligibility. VA care is the best it’s ever been, higher patient outcomes and patient satisfaction scores than nearly all civilian care. But now VA will have fewer people to serve more Veterans. Sec Collins is a #BlueFalcon to fellow Vets.

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

Tesla’s shareholders just lost another $38,640,000,000 today — a total $TSLA loss of $600 billion since December.
Tesla’s CEO was not in the office.
In literally any other public company ever, this would be the point where the CEO gets fired.
