Tweet from Doug Collins: Effective immediately, VA is halting enforcement of the interim final rule, Evaluative Rating: Impact of Medication.
VA issued the rule to clarify existing policy and protect Veterans’ benefits in the wake of an ongoing court action. But many interpreted the rule as something that could result in adverse consequences.
While VA does not agree with the way this rule has been characterized, the department always takes Veterans’ concerns seriously. To alleviate these concerns, VA will continue to collect public comments regarding the rule, but it will not be enforced at any time in the future.
BREAKING: SECVA Doug Collins has CANCELLED his effort to STRIP Veterans of their benefits thanks to MASSIVE backlash from We the People. WELL DONE and STAY LOUD!

The Times now making clear what was implicit in their earlier reporting. It's not just the UK, other NATO members are also distancing themselves from Trump's war with Iran.

Prince Andrew's Arrest
Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter
Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

Alysa Liu’s Olympic run came with terms. Her choreographer helps her express them
Liu is the best U.S. hope for an Olympic medal in women's figure skating, which would be the country's first in the competition since 2006.
“When Liu, 20, decided to return to skating, she did so with conditions. She’d wear what she wants. Dance to the music she wants. Eat what she wants. Take breaks when she wants…. [Skating] would be the vehicle through which she displayed the real Alysa.”
she did it! her! way!!

Al Capone was not jailed for being a mobster. He was jailed for tax evasion.
Donald Trump has done that his entire life. When Fred Trump died, Donald devalued the family assets to avoid taxes. His sister lost her job as a federal judge over that fraud.
If only we still had a functional DOJ.

Large banner of Trump unfurled at Justice Department headquarters
The DOJ has traditionally operated with a degree of separation from the White House to prevent the department's powers from being abused for political purposes.
Trump has turned the Department of Justice into his own personal vendetta machine. And Pam Bondi has been happy to go along for the ride.
We're witnessing the most egregious politicization of the DOJ in recent memory — and I lived through the Nixon years. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...
