VoteVets is donating $500,000 to Abigail Spanberger’s campaign.

Abigail will win this race. She’s credible, she has impeccable character, she’s deeply committed to our democracy, and she’s focused on the issues Virgnians care about. She’s the kind of candidate that can reach Veterans, Military Families, independents, and the swing voters we’ll need to win. …

Dork Vader is in control (but not for long)

Elon Musk ain’t the boss. He has no real power. He’s incredibly unpopular. And if we dial up the pressure, we can FIRE ELON. Take a look at this, John. The “power behind the power” presidential element isn’t a new concept. Most recently, in the George W. Bush administration, it was Dick Chen…

Trump and his administration are politicizing the deaths of three Servicemembers

Their hatred for those who serve knows no bounds. Their disdain for women knows no limits. Their empathy for those left behind is nonexistent. Here’s a timeline for you, John: The FAA, under former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, spent the last four years reinforcing safety protoco…
