This affront to veterans will soon be mowed over by news of Trump's address to Congress, so I'm asking folks to share it now. People need to see all the crap they're peddling, IMHO. Thx.

Rather than boycott President Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress, some Democratic lawmakers are inviting former federal workers to the speech on Tuesday as a way to protest the mass firings and funding cuts that have defined Trump’s first month back in office.
Democrats Invite Fired Federal Workers to Trump’s Congressional Address
The move comes as lawmakers hear from constituents over President Trump and Elon Musk’s efforts to slash federal spending and cull the civil service ranks.

Federal workers at a Virginia town hall last night—this says it all!
“I know their goal is to make us miserable.” — so they don’t show up to work.
And Dems, take note: People aren’t here for your ill-timed, tone-deaf donation requests. It’s going to backfire. They want to see you fight for them!
