🚨🚨 Under Trump, 30,000 VA staff will be gone by Septemberβ€”and it’s just the start.

This anti-Veteran administration is gutting the care millions rely on, dismantling VA from the inside out.

Veterans will pay the price β€” and VoteVets is fighting back.

If today you are an American celebrating "independence day", I strongly recommend you read aloud or listen to the original declaration of independence. Meditate on the words or discuss them with family and friends. dissect the meaning in the document learn more about the occasion than sky boom boom.

There are approximately 100,000 pay phones left in the US. Some will remain around in case Clark Kent needs a place to change or a dog gets lost and has to call for help. #DogsofBluesky
