In 2025, VoteVets & our candidates kicked ass. We flipped the VA Gov seat red2blue with @abigailspanberger.com, elected @mikiesherrill.bsky.social as NJ's first woman veteran Gov, flipped a solid red VA seat, & passed CA #Prop 50. And we'll do it again in '26 and '28! Vets earn swing voter trust!

Thousands of ICE agents are doing a lot more damage to our social fabric than millions of undocumented immigrants.
Bastards.
“Jimenez Rosa, a legal permanent resident and mother of four U.S. citizens, was detained over what her lawyer believes was a decades-old, personal-use marijuana charge, which is no longer a crime in Massachusetts today… “I was just like, ‘Girls, we might never see your mother again in this country’”

Having DEA agents walk around the mall is a complete waste of taxpayer money and resources.
DC's crime rate is at a 30 year low per Reuters and the New York Times.

ICYMI there was a groundbreaking bipartisan win in a time when ppl think that’s impossible in politics. But the fight sure isn’t over.
Our public lands are our common ground.
When Sen. Mike Lee pushed to sell them off to billionaire developers, Veterans, ranchers, anglers, and everyday Americans stood together and stopped him.
Because this land isn’t for sale—it’s part of who we are. And we’re not done fighting for it.

Today the US reached 11 Million protesters for No Kings Day nationwide
That’s 3.23 %
