USW VP: The agency that so many veterans around this country rely onβ€”for physical and mental healthcare, for screenings for toxic exposure, for financial support in times of crisisβ€”has been weakened because of these cuts and can’t serve you, who served us and this nation, in your time of need.

I'm sorely disappointed by this lawless, unsigned decision that will hurt kids across America. As Justice Sotomayor said in her dissent, it’s a grave threat to the Constitution’s separation of powers. This administration has abandoned children in public schools. www.cnn.com/2025/07/14/p...

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.

Yes i think it's good to do this if you are of childbearing age. I don't encourage everyone else to hoard these. What the rest of us can do is to get immediately skilled up in SMA. truthout.org/articles/lea... - I've been talking about this for many years and get educated.
