Planned cuts to disability compensation for tinnitus and sleep apnea are on a path to be implemented by the VA — with the savings going back to the Treasury — unless Congress moves swiftly to pass major legislation. stripes.com/veterans/2026-…

Officials in the Trump administration as well as members of the US military better hope this is bluster, or they could have a new home after he leaves office.

.@POTUS on Iran: "We're going to hit them very hard tonight. We're going to hit them very hard tomorrow night. We're going to hit them very hard the night after... We're going to knock out all their power plants, we're going to knock out all their bridges, unless they get to the table and negotiate."

Tomorrow the Senate will begin considering the nomination of @DAGToddBlanche for U.S. Attorney General. Under the leadership of Acting AG Blanche, the Department of Justice has taken swift action to restore Americans’ First Amendment freedoms that the Biden administration attacked. The acting AG has ardently defended free speech and religious liberty, and we look forward to him continuing to champion and protect the freedoms Americans hold dear.

Credible: China attempted to influence a U.S. election by pumping out false or hateful information on social media, on websites, on AI agents. Not Credible: China hacked the tabulators of 8,000 separate election jurisdictions in the U.S., none of which are connected to the internet, all of which are subject to bipartisan oversight. And it did so in way that wasn't revealed in pre-election tests or post-election audits. And China also manipulate the ovals on the paper ballots so the evidence couldn't be revealed in recounts and post-election litigation.

That moment when someone who sunk their life savings into a get rich quick scheme realizes the results aren’t what they were promised but haven’t yet realized they were the mark. 👇
Matt Van Swol@mattvanswol

I don't think the GOP fully grasp how badly they are fucking up right now. I'm talking to people who normally have ZERO interest in politics who are legitimately pissed off. They are not seeing the major reform they thought would happen and are REALLY MAD about it. No true accountability. No true mass deportations. No meaningful decrease in the deficit. Lots of very long vacations and no work. No bills being passed that REDUCE the government involvement in their lives. I'm very worried the GOP is sleepwalking toward a midterm reckoning they don’t see coming. People are pissed off that they voted Trump into office and then the GOP continues to slow-walk every reform people want. Where are all the DOGE cuts that were promised? Where is the SAVE ACT? Why haven't we defunded the Taliban yet? Why are bills passing the House and then disappear in the Senate? Why are the GOP still funding Left-wing NGOs that target and hate MAGA Republicans? Why are members of the GOP pushing for mass amnesty instead of mass deportations? People are waking up and they aren't happy about it. People believed they were voting for the Trump agenda. and instead, many feel like they’re getting the same old Washington. If Republicans in Congress don’t start producing tangible results, they’re going to discover that frustration has consequences... ...And by the time they realize how deep-seeded that frustration is, it may already be too late.

There are ONLY FOUR, 4, signatures needed on this petition. This is a clean MRSA that does not penalize veterans like TCAVA does. @NancyMace @RepJoeWilson @TeamJoeWilson @RepSheriBiggs @VoteSheriBiggs @VoteTimmons @RepRalphNorman @RalphNorman @RussellFrySC
ZCrush@kniftarqr9y

Thanks for the heads up, @AlexVillas89! And thank you, @RepBrianFitz, for signing the discharge petition for the MRSA. We hope that some of your peers have the courage to follow your lead!

The entire problem with #TCAVA is that it is in fact a permanent change. Congress would set the precedent that disability benefits could be reduced at any time in the future when they want to free up some money in the budget.
Concerned Vets OH 🇺🇸@CVAOhio

The Take Care of America’s Veterans Act isn’t a quick fix, but a permanent solution. Tomorrow, CVA’s @amiller0311 will be joining the following shows to highlight how this legislation can better support our nation’s heroes and enable them to continue serving their communities.

Reminder (just in case)... U.S. elections are administered in over 8,000 separate voting jurisdictions. There is no ONE switch to flip. There is no ONE person to buy off. There are over 8,000 election directors of varying partisan affiliation, philosophy, age, race, experience, etc. They (formerly "we") use different tabulators to count paper ballots (except Louisiana, the only state to not have paper ballots). They conduct pre-election test. And post-election audits. All of which is subject to post-election litigation. washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…

This is a much bigger deal than many people realize. The Texas Department is one of the largest and most influential departments in the American Legion, representing tens of thousands of Legionnaires and carrying significant weight at the national level. A formal Texas resolution opposing #TCAVA (while National continues to support it) isn’t just another disagreement. It’s a public fracture within one of the nation’s largest veterans organizations.

Honored to join Chairman @RepBost, members of the @HouseVetAffairs Committee, community partners, veterans, and families today in support of the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act. @WWP is advocating for long-overdue progress for veterans, caregivers, and military families by expanding health care, benefits, and services—especially for warriors with the most severe wounds. Passing both the #MajorRichardStarAct and the Briley-Edmundson Act as a part of this package is a critical part of that effort. Veterans have waited long enough. #TCAVA

$57 billion. That's what committee Republicans voted to cut from future veterans' disability benefits. Serving now? Congratulations, you're the "future Veteran" they mean. 6-4. Closed rule, meaning no amendments or changes moving forward

UPDATE: Not only is Nate George not a "certified fraud examiner" as his campaign claimed, but he also hasn't even applied for the certification. Even worse, his campaign continues to misrepresent his qualifications.

OOF! Via @MinnPost -> "[Nate George] The Republican-endorsed candidate for auditor claimed to be a 'certified fraud examiner.' He is not." Read more -> mbrdkrb.com/4wKkCzd

I can understand that these groups think #TCAVA is a net positive bill for current Vets. But respectfully, the @VFWHQ @iava and @DAVHQ are fighting for the benefits being earned by the men and women in harms way in the Middle East right now. #HonorThePact
Leo Shane III@LeoShane

Happening now: @RepBost leading veterans groups in a rally for the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act, expected to be on the House floor this week. @AmericanLegion @TAPSorg @AMVETSHQ @MilitaryOfficer @wwp and more here.
