Tell Trump to STOP using our troops as pawns to achieve his own policy goals. We need to pass the National Defense Authorization Act to make sure our troops are paid.
Friends,
As one of Trump’s final acts before leaving office, he is threatening to veto the National Defense Authorization Act that pays our servicemembers.
First, it was because the NDAA includes a provision (with bipartisan support!) to rename military bases honoring Confederate traitors. Now, Trump is threatening to veto the must-pass legislation unless Congress agrees to repeal protections for social media companies known as “Section 230.”
Basically he’s using our troops as pawns and threatening their pay because he wants to be able to lie more easily on Twitter.
It’s outrageous and a clear threat to our national security — so I am speaking out. I hope you will join me.
Let me be clear: This fight over Section 230 protections has everything to do with Trump’s ego and nothing to do with defense. He is just using our troops to help him achieve a completely unrelated policy goal.
The levels to which our current president will sink continue to shock me.
All my best,
Tammy Duckworth
