Trump Indicted

What we know, what i means, and what comes next. Here's what we know, John. Trump has been indicted. A Grand Jury decided that there was probable cause that he committed multiple crimes. He is reportedly up for seven counts — including willful retention of national security documents and obstr…

“Independent”

It doesn't mean what you might think it means. John — There is a concerted effort to subvert the will of the voters and get Trump re-elected. But where it’s coming from might surprise you. A few groups are organizing to promote an “independent” candidate for president, and the biggest one is “N…

Around here, we honor World War II Veterans

DeSantis couldn’t be bothered John, In Iowa yesterday, Ron DeSantis couldn’t be bothered to spend some time with a World War II Veteran. We thought that was interesting. Here’s why: Three separate people — an attendee, a member of DeSantis’ staff, even the governor of Iowa — told DeSantis that…

DeSantis

Ron DeSantis attacked our Military on MEMORIAL DAY of all days Memorial Day is a solemn day to remember the ones who gave the last full measure of devotion for our country, and for us. You’d think a Veteran would honor that, and leave the politics to somebody else. But on Memorial Day, of all…

I just have to ask

It’s a question I get all the time, John. “Jon, you send me these emails all the time. Why do I need to donate?” Well today, there are two really good reasons for that. We’re REALLY cranking right now. VoteVets is running ads across the country, pushing members of Congress, and mobilizing V…

Remembering

Good morning, John, it’s Paul Eaton. There’s a poem by Laurence Binyon titled “For the Fallen” with a line I often return to on Memorial Day. "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the mornin…

Official VoteVets Survey: Disney vs DeSantis

A quick sitrep on our work this month

We stopped them cold. John, a lot of the work we do here at VoteVets centers on getting Veterans elected. But that’s not all of it. We also support and advocate for Veterans. And after the GOP rolled out a disgraceful budget that would’ve cut billions of dollars in Veterans benefits, we pushed…

Good for China.

Bad for the Troops. John - Republicans are driving us to the brink of default unless they get to slash benefits for the American people — including what could be a $30 billion cut to Veterans benefits. It’s no exaggeration to say that these cuts would hurt millions. And a default? It cedes …

Gold Star Families

The PACT Act is a risk

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…
