You said nothing.

He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing.
He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing.
He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing.

“It is an insult to America's veterans that Congress would advance legislation threatening their earned benefits on Veterans Day, the very day our nation is supposed to honor their service and sacrifice … Playing political games with veterans’ benefits while avoiding public accountability is cowardly and dishonorable.” - VFW National Commander Cory Geisler https://t.co/nWd6MpRaEk #VFW #HonorTheContract #VeteransBenefits #TCAVA #VeteransDay
Republicans just showed their hand by passing the largest cut in veterans' benefits history on Veterans Day. They were so ashamed to vote for it that none of them requested a recorded vote. Ranking Member @RepMarkTakano is outraged, and so should every veteran in this nation.

@JakeSherman@NotHoodlum If Katherine Clark and her boss Hakeem could take a moment from counting their latest AIPAC contributions, they might see that Republicans are running circles around them right now. #FireJeffries
@laurawilson1712@SenDuckworth Did you? Ask them: The veterans' organizations opposing this funding arrangement include:
- Disabled American Veterans (DAV)
- Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW)
- Vietnam Veterans of America
@KimberRicuj@SenDuckworth Yes they did. They cut benefits for service related tinnitus and sleep apnea. Saving money, adding other benefits for service related injuries. Why should veterans with service-connected disabilities have to sacrifice compensation for other veterans' benefits?
@leighmkay@SenDuckworth Not lying. Why should veterans with service-connected disabilities have to sacrifice compensation so the government can pay for other veterans' benefits?
Right around this time of the night one week ago, we got the call that we’d made history in Missouri’s 2nd District. A moment we’ll never forget.

Today idols arise and demand our worship: success at any cost, money, an obsession with appearance, popularity, or the unrestrained pursuit of pleasure. Sometimes, in order to win the approval of others, we may go so far as to lie, betray, or humiliate someone on social media. Do not bow down before anything that cannot give you life. And if you have ever fallen, get back up. Do not allow anything or anyone to take away the freedom God has given you. #ApostolicJourney #Argentina
Sanders just laid out the first 100 days of health policy:
- Medicare at 55, not 65
- Dental, vision and hearing covered
- Every kid insured from birth to 19
All of it fits through reconciliation with 51 votes. No filibuster excuse.
Democrats ran on fixing healthcare costs. This is the test of whether they meant it.
