(Opinion) I am a U.S. Army veteran, and I am anxious. Like many others, I signed up to serve a country that promised to care for its veterans. Now, we are…

I wrote for my local paper about the real cost of VA budget cuts, not in theory, but in the daily lives of veterans who rely on these services.
When care is scaled back, it doesn’t just affect systems. It affects people.

Trump’s promise to cut federal funds to sanctuary cities shows a stunning disregard for the Constitution. Courts ruled such actions illegal, citing separation of powers. This isn’t just bad policy; it’s a dangerous overreach of executive authority. Democrats must defend the rule of law. #RESIST
HANNITY: What do you do about sanctuary states? Would you cut off their money?
TRUMP: I might have to do that. California is a great example of it.

This is the guy who started the Silk Road dark website which was used the facilitate major global drug trafficking. Was serving life in prison. But when Trump wanted the Libertarian Party endorsement he promised them this. He never heard of Ulbricht. Even spelled his name wrong.

First: Do not help Republicans. Not in any way. On any issue. Republicans can’t pass a budget, or raise the debt ceiling? Tough luck. Do not provide them any bailout votes on any issue. Period, the end. #Resist #bluewave #democrats
