Please help keep the new VoteVets ad on the air

The objective of this is to continue pressuring Republicans in Congress until they pass aid for Ukraine. John, Alex Vindman here. The team at VoteVets emailed yesterday to let you know that we’re going up on television across the country with a television ad. The objective here is to continue…

The Grand Orban Party

The GOP is working hand-in-hand with authoritarian leaders to support Vladimir Putin’s illegal, unprovoked war on Ukraine. John, Do you remember the great figures of the GOP — the leaders they idolized, whose example they looked to for guidance? Dwight Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, and John McCain…

RE: Ukraine needs support

The GOP is playing political games while our friends dodge bullets. John - it’s Alex Vindman. Making sure you saw the email VoteVets sent yesterday. I’m furious that, at such a critical time, the GOP is blocking aid for Ukraine. I’ve spoken to colleagues at home and abroad. This aid package i…

Ukraine needs support

The GOP is playing political games while our friends dodge bullets. John, More than 400 officers are taking their leadership positions now that we forced Tommy Tuberville and the GOP to stand down and unfreeze their promotions. But fresh off of one manufactured crisis, the GOP is ready to push…

No worse enemy

Trump doesn’t understand our Military or our Veterans because he doesn’t understand what it means to serve anyone but himself. Facts are tricky, John. Trump has a TV ad up in Iowa right now, shoring up support before the first caucuses and primary elections of the 2024 GOP presidential primary.…

Steps away from a dictatorship

VoteVets is ringing the alarm. We’re Veterans. A lot of the people reading this are Veterans, too. Many more of you are members of Military Families. And even if you’re not in either of those groups, you’re a part of this team. When you join the Military you swear an oath to defend the Constit…

Ridiculous

John, you might have seen some coverage recently that Tommy Tuberville is going to end his blockade of senior Military promotions. That’d be great — but that’s not what he’s doing. He’s insinuated that he might be open to letting some promotions through, but not all of them. He thinks he’s g…

We’re about to go into one of the toughest election cycles any of us have ever seen. John, we’re coming to you at a tough time. We’ve spent down our resources pretty considerably these last few months. Organizing, advertising, and supporting candidates around the country doesn't come cheap. Bu…

Tuberville is the GOP’s Problem

Tell them to do something about him. John, we want to re-center on this before we start up a fresh week. Tommy Tuberville has never served a day in the Armed Forces. He acts like he knows more about the Military than anyone, and he’s even said as much. It’s just not true. And here we are — mo…
