And yet the veterans keep voting for republicans because....brainwashing.
In one email to Veterans Affairs HQ, doctors in PA said a hiring freeze was causing “severe and immediate impacts” and that more than 1,000 veterans would lose access to treatment for cancer, kidney disease and traumatic brain injuries.

After five years of uncertainty and turmoil, the U.S. economy is ending 2024 in arguably its most stable condition since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Yet the economic outlook for 2025 is murky, for one major reason: President-elect Trump.
The Economy Is Finally Stable. Will That Change With Trump?
President-elect Donald J. Trump’s proposals on tariffs, immigration, taxes and deregulation may have far-reaching and contradictory effects, adding uncertainty to forecasts.

Republicans have launched a propaganda campaign to pretend that Trump was "exonerated" and that the FBI are the bad guys.
It's a lie. His record is 34 convictions in one case, 4 guilty pleas from co-defendants in another, two unfinished prosecutions, and zero acquittals. lnk.thebulwark.com/41vcqGn
