In an unforgettable Veterans Day moment, former President Barack Obama surprised dozens of Korean and Vietnam War veterans as their Honor Flight landed in Washington, D.C. The veterans, fresh off their flight from Madison, Wisconsin, were greeted by President Obama himself.

Cutting 30,000 jobs at the VA, which will put veterans' services at risk.

Firing federal workers across government, many of whom are veterans.

Gutting SNAP & Medicaid, which millions of veterans need.

Our vets defended us, and this is how the Trump regime is repaying them?

Every single day, the Trump Administration says stupid shit.

RFK Jr. and FDA commissioner Marty Makary are misogynistic idiots.

Menopause didn’t kill me or my friends & most of us are still happily married.

Trump met with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa at the White House. Al-Sharaa is the former leader of U.S.-designated terror group al-Qaeda who was once wanted by the U.S. as a terrorist with a $10 million bounty on his head. He has even served time in the infamous Abu Ghraib prison.

President Obama & his VP Biden were in tears when Congress passed the Affordable Care Act in 2010.

Republicans have been working to eliminate it since that day.

Before ACA, ~14-16% of people in the U.S. were uninsured. By 2023, the uninsured rate had fallen to a record low of 7.7%.
