Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Time to do things that make him react to you.

BRENNAN: You don't have a point of view?

But it gets worse. The target is a Democratic pol; the federal prosecutor falsely claims it’s his job to open criminal probes on the say-so of Musk—no, guy, *you’re* supposed to make a decision about what’s appropriate; Musk is at best a concerned citizen—and this statement is not worth this letter.
