‼️Le sénateur Mark Kelly, héros de guerre et astronaute de la NASA, s'en est pris à Trump : il s'avère que ce dernier envoyait à certains « sponsors » des courriers dans lesquels il leur proposait un accès payant à des rapports secrets sur la sécurité nationale😁🙈

Mark Kelly lit l’une de ces lettres au directeur de la CIA, qui fait semblant de ne rien savoir à ce sujet🤷‍♂️🐵

Une nouvelle touche au portrait d’un escroc et d’un agent immobilier peu scrupuleux qui se fait passer pour le président des États-Unis.

“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

In 1944, thousands of Japanese on Saipan hid in caves, sure the Americans would torture them if they came out. Many families chose the cliffs instead.

An 18-year-old American Marine from East Los Angeles walked up to those caves at night, alone, and called to them in Japanese.

His name was Guy Gabaldon. He was a Mexican American kid who had grown up partly in the home of a Japanese American family, the Nakanos. That is where he picked up his Japanese. When the war came, the Nakanos were sent to internment camps. Their twin sons, Lane and Lyle, joined the U.S. Army anyway and served in the 442nd.

Fifty years later, he still said it plainly: "These were Americans."

On Saipan, Gabaldon was a scout with the 2nd Marine Regiment. Right after landing, he slipped off on his own and came back with prisoners. His commanding officer, Capt. John Schwabe, threatened him with a court-martial for leaving his post.

The next night, he came back with about fifty.

After that, they let him go out alone.

He crawled to the cave mouths in the dark and promised the people inside water, medical care, and that nobody would hurt them. Night after night, ten or twenty at a time, they followed him out.

On July 8, by his own account, about 800 came out in a single day. Schwabe remembered that day too. It was the day they tagged him the Pied Piper of Saipan.

Not everyone listened. At the cliffs, he begged a mother not to kill her child. He watched her throw the baby and jump. He was still talking about it fifty years later.

His Navy Cross citation says that on Saipan and Tinian he brought in "well over one thousand enemy civilians and troops."

Schwabe recommended him for the Medal of Honor. He received the Silver Star. Sixteen years later, after Hollywood made a movie about him, the Navy upgraded it to the Navy Cross.

He died in 2006 and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

I am Japanese. Those caves were full of my people, frightened, starving, and certain that the Americans were monsters.

An American teenager walked toward them in the dark and offered them water.

On this Veterans Day, Japan should know his name.

on what just happened on the House floor, per person familiar - after announcing a recorded voted on the veterans bill, Rs asked if Dems would agree to last-minute engrossment corrections. While those were being evaluated, House Rs called the vote up and voice voted it (1/2)

Once again, Israel is buying the outcomes of our elections to protect Pete Hegseth and the Iran war.

Anyone who takes a penny from the Israel lobby is a national security threat.

[Jack Hopkins @thejackhopkins]

On Veterans Day, House Republicans passed a bill cutting future veterans' disability benefits.

No recorded vote. Why?

Not ONE Democrat asked for one.

A day earlier, 11 absent Democrats sank the Hegseth impeachment push, 211-204. Jeffries. Clark.

Leadership has one job: show up. SHOW UP. Jesus Christ.

Трамп рассылал спонсорам письма, в которых предлагал им доступ к секретным отчётам нацбезопасности за деньги.

Сенатор Марк Келли тычёт в такое письмо носом директора ЦРУ, а тот говорит что ничего о них не знал 😁

A “permanent partnership”, you say.

“It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world.”
-President George Washington

Any portion. Yes even that portion.

And Scott Colom did it by beating a senator who:

> went to a segregation academy, then sent her daughter to one
> has in-law relatives who murdered a Black civil rights activist in broad daylight and were let off for it
> put on Confederate gear at Jeff Davis’s home and called it “the best of Mississippi history”
> “joked” about lynchings and making it harder to vote

ספרו לי קצת על היהדות והאידיאולוגיה של האשפות שהלמו אתמול במוט ברזל בפניה של אשה בת 70(!) שהגיעה לעזור במסיק של קול רבני לזכויות אדם - ואחר כך קינחו בסדרת בעיטות כשהיא על הרצפה, שוברים לה שלוש צלעות וגורמים לחבלות קשות בפנים. היא עדיין מאושפזת. נשמות שחורות

Mind you a child throwing stones at an invading force is entirely legal. Shooting down and killing a child is illegal. So even if the child did it is not an argument for the IDF to employ to justify themselves. Anyone who believes that is evil. (Know you don’t OP)

[Janae Sergio @janae_sergio]

On Veterans Day, of all days.

House Republicans just cut off Rep. Mark Takano, the top Democrat on the Veterans' Affairs Committee, and rushed TCAVA through on a voice vote in about eight seconds. No roll call, no debate, no record of who voted which way.

Why the rush? Because they're about to lose the majority, and they wanted this benefits grab done before they did. When a bill is good for veterans, you don't have to sneak it through.

The Senate still has to act. Call your senators today and tell them you won't stand for cutting veterans' earned benefits. Not on Veterans Day, not ever.

IT’S TRUE…
No government contracts in Texas if you boycott Israel.

And it’s not just Texas. Over 30 states across the US have similar laws.

WHAT DOES ISRAEL HAVE ON AMERICA⁉️

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

It’s Veterans Day. And House Republicans just passed a bill to cut Veterans benefits by $57 billion, according to the VA’s own estimates.

This is how they’re thanking our heroes for their service.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

How is anyone ok with this? Why are we funding these lunatics?

The sick part of Trump and Hegseth’s boat bombings is we don’t even have the moral high ground to criticize this.
