VoteVets is defeating Trump and Elon in court.

A federal judge just told the Trump administration that their mass firings of probationary federal employees — including thousands of Veterans — were illegal. JOHN: Don't buy into the idea that Trump and Elon are invincible, or inevitable. We’re talking about a creepy, weird, fascist man-chil…

Whatever happens today, we’re going to need all hands on deck

VoteVets is going to need to work harder than ever to defend the Veterans we represent. We’re going to need to do a lot of overtime to defend the thousands of VA staff who have illegal firings hanging over their heads. We’re going to need to fight like hell for the thousands of Veterans whose jobs…

This is a bad deal.

The House budget rips even more care away from Veterans by zeroing out the Toxic Exposures Fund starting Oct 1. Congress passed a bill and funded this program, and 2 million Veterans have had their claims approved. 2 million Veterans are depending on the VA to help them get treatment and care for …

Republicans are cutting $22.8 BILLION from the PACT Act

We mobilized nationwide to get the PACT Act passed. Right now, we’re doing everything we can to save it. And if the GOP succeeds in killing it, we’re going to mobilize nationwide to make them pay. JOHN: Republicans in the House voted to gut the PACT Act and rip billions of dollars in care fro…

VoteVets is making a $1 million commitment to recruiting the next generation of leaders

When Veterans and National Security experts speak, Americans listen. When Veterans and National Security experts run, they win. 2024 was a tough year for Democrats, but VoteVets-endorsed candidates still won 143 victories at every level — local, state, and federal. We know what works, and we’re do…

Who benefits if Trump walks back our NATO obligations?

We’ll give you one guess: More concerning reports out of the White House this week. Donald Trump and his administration have begun to signal that his administration would not defend a NATO ally if they were attacked. Nevermind that NATO has kept the peace for 75 years because of the Article …

The VA is in IMMINENT danger

Donald Trump wants to fire 83,000 VA staff

What this administration is doing isn’t about efficiency or improving care. It is about turning the VA into UnitedHealth — deny, defend, depose, all to maximize shareholder value. Trump and Elon have made that perfectly clear. JOHN, many of you rely on the VA. We do, too. We don’t think the VA …
