JD Vance is hyping Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” but let's be real — it’s a disaster:

➡️ Closes rural hospitals
➡️ Slashes care for Veterans and Military Families
➡️ Cuts food aid
➡️ Raises costs for EVERYONE

All while handing massive tax breaks to the richest Americans.

-Targeting GOP & Indipendent voters with Veteran voices on broadcast, streaming, & Spotify

-Putting GOP on defense

The GOP seems to be scared of voters - but Dems aren’t! We’re running great candidates up and down the ballot (thanks in large part to groups like @votevets.org and others) and doing town halls in Republican districts because they’re too afraid to actually defend their abysmal record.

@marieharf.bsky.social on Fox News Sunday >> The GOP is scared of running on their record, so they're trying to right the system.

Wisely notes that Democrats "fighting 🔥 with 🔥" means running candidates who can win in tough places, with a shoutout to the historic number of @votevets.org candidates:

#Scoop from @adamwren.bsky.social in @politico.com:

@votevets.org is all in on @ryancroswell.bsky.social

In crucial Districts like this one, Democrats can’t rest on our laurels. We need the right candidates to put up against Republicans in 2026. Ryan is that candidate.

Lots of talk about Democrats needing to communicate in an authentic way outside of our comfort zone - but very few candidates can actually do it.

Thi @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy oped from @ryancroswell.bsky.social is a masterclass in making a clear, compelling argument in a conservative space:

- 9th Genration Kentuckian

- Navy Veteran

- Policy Advisor to Gov. Beshear

Keep 👀 on @zachdembo.bsky.social - a first time candidate who recently resigned as a federal prosecutor - taking on criminals - to run for Congress on "Kentucky Values."

Amazing profile in a flippable seat!

NEW: VoteVets Endorses @mattmaasdam.bsky.social for Congress!! #MI07 🇺🇸

#Scoop in @politico.com this AM: @votevets.org is all in for @mattmaasdam.bsky.social!

Matt’s bio will be a key asset in defeating Tom Barrett.

A fresh & unconventional profile, a departure from the typical Democratic mold, he’s the only one who can win this key district.

While much of the Democratic ecosystem spent Q2 trapped in a post-mortem on 2024 and offering only a collective shrug on where to go next, @votevets.org powered through a consequential three months, winning elections & driving engagement through innovative and expansive tactics.

Trump came back. Veterans stood up.

VoteVets didn’t flinch — we led.

From confronting GOP cruelty to town halls in deep-red states, we’re elevating Veteran voices, organizing for 2026, and taking back the flag.

The fight is on — and we’re just getting started.
