This is a really, really, stupid move. People (and by that I mean military families) know to a T what they are owed, what they can count on, what resources are available to them to make ends meet. You can’t rob peter to pay Paul and expect either to be happy.
No surprise.
He took congressionally approved housing funds, repackaged them as a “bonus,” and took credit.
That’s not support for troops, it’s deception.
He truly only cares about himself.👇

Why are Republicans so fixated on genitalia? It is really disturbing on how they are infiltrating individuals rights and freedoms.

AOC: Donald Trump and Stephen Miller want you to believe that this is who we are as a country. And we are here to say that it is not. We are a country that has fought and defeated the confederacy. That has defeated a history of civil rights violations, of secret police, of fascism.

We’d have fared better with Biden.
The East Wing would be intact.
Government was professional: agencies functioned, expertise mattered, crises stayed quiet.
Allies trusted the U.S.
The economy was improving: falling inflation, job growth, rising wages, and long-term manufacturing already funded.

You don’t give a “shockingly candid” interview ripping your own administration and then act surprised when people quote you. That’s not a media problem. That’s a foresight problem.

On Dec. 4, DOJ labeled people who impede or "dox" ICE agents "domestic terrorists." I document how DHS believes following, recording, and protesting agents is "impeding," and has a policy of threatening & arresting ICE observers. That's unconstitutional. www.cato.org/blog/dhs-pol...
