Tuberville (AGAIN)

John — You might remember Tommy Tuberville as the Senator who has been holding up nearly 200 senior Military promotions for THREE MONTHS. We’ve been on his case for a while now. While he was defending this ridiculous and dangerous position, he managed to get in some kind words for white nati…

Celebrating the PACT Act

500,000 have submitted claims since August Among a ton of depressing headlines lately, here is some welcome news, John. For years, countless Veterans suffered after exposure to toxic burn pits during their time in uniform. That’s changing now. Since August of 2022, more than 500,000 Veterans …

We made sure Trump lost in 2020

We will do it again in 2024 John — Trump came off of his “Town Hall” on CNN last night as the clear frontrunner in the Republican Presidential Primary. And we’re all the worse for it. We’re not interested in re-litigating all the lies that traitor told last night because we already know the t…

They’re riled up.

Ever heard the expression, “A hit dog will holler,” John? That’s the GOP right now. They voted to gut Veterans benefits in their debt ceiling bill. They could’ve carved out protections for Veterans, but they didn’t. They could’ve voted on a new budget that didn’t cut billions of dollars from…

Responsibility

In the Military, weapons access is highly regulated Hey there, John, We’ve seen a lot of people parrot a right-wing, NRA talking point lately. The gist of it is: If we trust 18 year olds in the military to handle assault rifles, why shouldn’t we do it with civilians? Now, the short answer is: W…

Help VoteVets go after Republicans who voted to gut the VA

We have 18 swing districts targeted John — Here are the facts: McCarthy, his flag waving caucus, and all those MAGA and America-first extremists could have specifically protected Veterans benefits in the budget they voted for last week. They. Did. Not. Now, there are 18 Republicans in the Ho…

GOP: Pro-War, Anti-Veteran

New sticker from the VoteVets Store John - The Grand Old Party. Once upon a time, it was the party of Lincoln, of Teddy Roosevelt and of Dwight Eisenhower. And now, it is the fringe MAGA party that voted for a budget that would gut health care and support for our Veterans. 217 of them voted for…

Sign our letter: Tell McCarthy to stop threatening our Veterans

John, this is urgent. VoteVets was on the Hill yesterday with our Congressional allies slamming the GOP for their draconian cuts to Veterans’ care. And today, we’re sending a letter to Speaker McCarthy. Our message: This brinkmanship has to stop. If McCarthy’s bill becomes law we’d see a $30 …

They’re going to lie.

It’s up to us to stop them. We’re seeing it already, John. It was just this Wednesday that the House GOP passed a bill cutting the VA’s budget by $30 billion, and they’re already trying to cover their tracks. Republicans in the House are telling anybody that will listen that this cut — a cut o…

McCarthy wants to cut $30 billion from the VA

It’s time to go on offense. We’ve got some bad news, John. McCarthy, his MAGA allies, and the House GOP are ready to shut down the government — to cause a global financial crisis — unless they get to slash the VA’s budget by $30 billion dollars. For a party that calls themselves “pro-Militar…

SIGNATURE NEEDED: Fight back against $30 BILLION in cuts to the VA

If you send our troops to war, you damn well better care for them when they come back. John — $30 BILLION. That’s the amount McCarthy and his MAGA allies want to cut the VA by. It’s a cut of 22%. Here’s what it means: 81,000 jobs lost. Longer wait times. Longer backlogs. Millions of Veteran…

And now, they’re on the hook for a $787 million settlement. There it is. In a statement, FOX News admitted that they lied about Dominion and the 2020 election. And now, Fox is on the hook for a $787 million settlement. We all wanted to see FOX go to trial, but this is still a win. Tucker Carls…
