Trump came back. Veterans stood up.

VoteVets didn’t flinch — we led.

From confronting GOP cruelty to town halls in deep-red states, we’re elevating Veteran voices, organizing for 2026, and taking back the flag.

The fight is on — and we’re just getting started.

Buttigieg last went to Iowa in spring 2025 for a VoteVets town hall.

More than a dozen GOP lawmakers defied their own leadership — and President Donald Trump — by voting with Democrats to approve a major bill to deliver billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine while imposing steep sanctions on Russia. https://t.co/VIh0VHbc7A

BREAKING: Rep. Pat Ryan just got the House Armed Services Committee UNANIMOUSLY to force Pete Hegseth to explain every senior military firing within the next 5 days. Hegseth has fired 24+ officers without cause or explanation. Even Republicans want answers.

[Vet Voice Foundation @VetVoiceFound]

Marine combat veteran Nick Borrelli has a powerful message about the endless cycle of global oil conflicts and spiking prices. We keep fighting for oil and now the government wants to drill into America's Arctic to keep the wheel turning. Nick says it's time to break the cycle.

[VoteVets @votevets]

.@RepJasonCrow just said what we're all thinking: While 20 million Americans are about to lose their health care, Republicans want to write a trillion-dollar blank check to the Pentagon.

A strong national defense isn't a bloated one.

[VoteVets @votevets]

Pete Hegseth just removed 7 Navy officers from the service's one-star promotion list. One was reportedly singled out after her name appeared on a website identifying "woke" service members, for serving as a "diversity liaison" two decades earlier. That's not merit. It's a purge.

[Erin Burnett OutFront @OutFrontCNN]

Before his big victory in Iowa last night, Paralympian Josh Turek showed CNN’s @jeffzeleny how he campaigned door-to-door by wheelchair to try to win every last vote in the Senate primary.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

Donald Trump wants to spend millions of taxpayer dollars building a monument to himself at the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery, where generations of America's fallen heroes have been laid to rest.

Today I stood with two veterans whose families are buried at Arlington to say what Republicans on the Appropriations Committee refused to: this is a desecration of our most hallowed ground, and it has to be stopped.

[VoteVets @votevets]

FINALLY 4 House Republicans just voted with every Democrat to end Trump’s Forever War in Iran. To every Republican who voted against this: November is coming. We will hold you accountable.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

BREAKING: The House has passed a War Powers Resolution aimed at reining in Donald Trump’s war in Iran in a 215-208 vote.

Four Republicans broke with Trump and voted with Democrats: Thomas Massie, Warren Davidson, Tom Barrett, and Brian Fitzpatrick.

[Alex Thompson @AlexThomp]

A lot of Democratic strategists think Iowa is a a better Senate pick-up opportunity than Texas.
Turek and this ad is part of the reason why.

[VoteVets @votevets]

Fresh off her primary victory last night, @RebeccaForNJ07 addresses opponent Tom Kean Jr.'s 100 day absence from Congress.

[VoteVets @votevets]

If Donald Trump can't stay awake at his own cabinet meetings, what's he doing in classified briefings @RepTedLieu just confronted Sec. Rubio about this under oath. Rubio lied, and Lieu caught him.

[VoteVets @votevets]

"Democrats got the two candidates they absolutely needed." With Josh Turek for U.S. Senate, and Rob Sand for Governor, Iowa just became a battleground. It's time to fight like hell and flip this state blue come November.

[VoteVets @votevets]

With Rob Sand an Josh Turek at the top of the ticket, winning Iowa has never been more in reach. The real work begins now.

Democrats see the stars aligning in Iowa https://t.co/yrtTEB1F9o

[VoteVets @votevets]

Hell of a way to kick off a general election .@turek4iowa

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Rebecca Bennett has won the Democratic primary for New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District.

The district is currently represented by incumbent Republican Tom Kean Jr., who has missed over 100 votes and has not been seen by the public in 3 months.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Something remarkable is happening in Iowa with @turek4iowa's campaign.

Congratulations on earning the nomination, Josh. Looking forward to hitting the trail with you soon.

"This seat should not be in play. But VoteVets almost single-handedly put it in play." .@ChuckRocha

Iowa is just the beginning. We won't stop until Democrats take back the House and flip the Senate. LET'S GO.
