Cutting 30,000 jobs at the VA, which will put veterans' services at risk.

Firing federal workers across government, many of whom are veterans.

Gutting SNAP & Medicaid, which millions of veterans need.

Our vets defended us, and this is how the Trump regime is repaying them?

This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform β€” and how our government is failing them right now.

Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.

The pentagon failed its 7th audit in a row and can’t account for 63% of its $4 trillion in assets but people who can’t read are mad about their taxes paying for SNAP.

Instead of feeding illegals and giving them car, we should focus on our own people first, especially veterans.

The math behind Trump’s 50-year mortgage gambit: Lower payments now, but almost double the long-term costs President Trump recently floated the idea of 50-year mortgages. Longer home loans would lower monthly payments, but come with higher rates and added interest expenses.

Arrivederci, Spaghetti? US Plans Massive 107% Tariff on Italian Pasta The proposed tariff follows an investigation into claims that major Italian pasta makers have been β€œdumping” products at unfairly low prices in the U.S. market.

Why would we do this? This is wrong. Does Italy put 100% on our product. Italy has shown itself to be a strong ally: "Arrivederci, Spaghetti? US Plans Massive 107% Tariff on Italian Pasta" finance.yahoo.com/news/arrived... via @YahooNews
