West Point '80, Army veteran. She, her, hers. I believe diversity makes us stronger, smarter, better. Fighting for the Constitution. Opinions mine alone.
Hyped to do door-knocking, phone-banking, talking with friends/family? @Blueprint_2024 researched the best messages to persuade voters.
First, almost all voters are locked-in on their opinions of Donald Trump. So tell them about Kamala. (1/8)

When the brave men and women of our Armed Forces are given a mission, they never ask, “Why me?”
They don’t ask, “But will I be safe?”
They pack their rucksacks, lace up their boots and do what’s asked of them. Time after time. Tour after tour.
This Armed Forces Day and always, Congress owes it to them to do its job and ensure each mission is worth their sacrifice.
I served two combat tours in Iraq. I’ve seen what happens when a lying, chicken-hawk President beats the war drums. I ran for Congress and serve on the Armed Services Committee because I refuse to let the country I love repeat those mistakes.
It’s why we passed the War Powers Act (after Vietnam) in the first place.
So that before the President sends our troops into harm’s way, he has to make his case TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Trump hasn’t done that. He hasn’t explained his goals.
He hasn't told you what it will cost – both in our tax dollars and (God forbid) our kids coming home in flag-draped coffins.
That’s why I cosponsored Congressman Khanna and Congressman Massie’s War Powers Resolution. And why I’m calling for a vote IMMEDIATELY.
To force an honest conversation as a country about what comes next. To stop yet another forever war.
We cannot repeat our approach from 2001 and 2002. The answer cannot be “we’ll figure it out as we go.” I lost too many friends because of that logic. As I said after the attack on Iran’s nuclear sites last June: Air strikes may start a war. They rarely end it.
As a Marine, I learned to put mission first and focus on winning our nation's wars.
If @SecWar wants to be a third-rate fitness influencer, he should go do that — and let a qualified adult run the Pentagon. #NHPolitics

Dear @KristiNoem: Resigned yet?
@DHSgov is so malicious that you are throwing out women and children into the streets with no transportation in freezing weather.
Thank goodness patriotic Americans are there to fix your cruelty.
And you should give your blanket to the children.
Here he goes again. You see @SecVetAffairs Collins is a liar and a slime. All of those clinics were started under Biden. Not a single one is fully operational because he put in a hiring freeze and fired most of the probationary employees. His total mismanagement and toxic leadership has driven thousands of capable healthcare providers and others to take early retirement or just leave. The reason claims have decreased is math. Biden implemented the PACT Act and added over a million veterans to the roles. Now it’s back to normal. He didn’t do anything special at all. He’s riding McDonough’s coat tails and claiming he’s a hero. He’s a clown and a liar. Notice he never talks about any other number but clinics and claims? What are the wait times for appointments, Doug? How many appointments have been canceled? We see your lies Dougy. Go back to Georgia. We all know you didn’t want this job.
This is a symptom of a disfunctional national security structure and process. No NatSec Advisor, hollowed-out NSC, under-staffed OSD and DOS, on top of no clearly-defined strategic objective, make it very difficult to coordinate policy, decision-implementation, and messaging.
Using Bible verses to justify violence against immigrants is not only the opposite of what Jesus teaches, it’s also a direct contradiction to the passage cited in this video.
“Here am I, send me” was the prophet Isaiah’s response after being called by God to deliver a message to the people and their leaders. What was the message?
“Your leaders are rebels, the companions of thieves. All of them love bribes and demand payoffs, but they refuse to defend the cause of orphans or fight for the rights of widows.” Isaiah 1:23
What were these corrupt and rebellious leaders doing?
“Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless. What will you do on the day of reckoning, when disaster comes from afar? To whom will you run for help? Where will you leave your riches?” Isaiah 10:1-3
God is sending Isaiah to warn the people, and more specifically their leaders, that if they do not turn from their corrupt ways and begin caring for the most vulnerable among them, they will suffer God’s judgment. Isaiah answers that call by saying, “Here am I, send me.”
For a corrupt government to use these verses to justify the very marginalization and oppression being condemned in this passage is the height of blasphemy.
🚨NEW: VoteVets slams decision to strip Harvey Milk’s name from Navy ship.
“This isn’t just offensive—it’s a calculated act of disrespect.”
It's not about tradition. It’s about forcing out those who don’t fit Hegseth’s 1980s action figure fantasy of service.
FULL STATEMENT ⬇️
Remember how Trump said he "sent the military in and opened up the water flow" in CA? It appears he forced the Army Corps to just drain reservoirs into recently flooded farmland without telling local farmers or leaders. “In 25 years, I’ve never seen anything like this. I was given no explanation at all.” Rumors are that local Republicans are panicked over this screwing of their constituents. Nothing but chaos meddling in local water management from the White House. https://t.co/OUNywGNNCt
When Alivia Stehlik, a West Point graduate with 16 years of service, first transitioned in 2017, she worried about standing out.
“I was the only six-foot-two chick with a Ranger tab,” she said.
We've beaten everybody they put in front of us, except for the No. 4 team in the country … We just beat another bowl team tonight. And who in college football, who around America wouldn't be excited to see the Army Black Knights in the Playoff" 🗣️
