Holy shit. I never thought I’d be posting a clip of Reagan talking such “woke” common sense about tariffs.

Sometimes you just have to ask—why? The Senate voted to strike down a rule capping most bank overdraft fees at $5, a measure introduced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that was expected to save Americans billions each year.

If an average service person had sent classified information of this nature on an unsecure channel, he or she would be headed toward Leavenworth Kansas right now. Everyone involved in this should resign.
They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics.
Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Free yearly physical? Check. Free reproductive health check/Pap smear? Check. Protect women- Support the Affordable Care Act.
Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.
With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

Air Force Veteran Aileen Reneau had 'exceeds expectations' reviews before being unjustly terminated.
This is a political purge, and it’s just the beginning. This isn't normal. This isn't okay.

Folks we just welcomed in about 25% more veterans with the PACT Act. Including some Vietnam era who never claimed their Agent Orange injuries. If you want to thank someone for their military service please vote to support the staff who care for them.
🚨 Trump’s VA is planning to cut 83,000 employees—slashing staffing back to 2019 levels, before the PACT Act expanded care for over a million Veterans.
This will mean longer wait times, worse care, and more red tape for those who served.
Veterans won’t stand for this.

The VA Mission Act provides veterans urgent and emergent care outside the VA when needed (suchlike today which is Sunday). Currently testing the weight and strength of the Mission Act. If you are a veteran or know a veteran you know they gotta be dying to actually ask for care....

28% of federal workers are Vets. Now, thousands are being fired without cause under DOGE. Their service clearly meant NOTHING to this administration.
