Congress is trying to back veterans into a corner and take away benefits they already earned through service.

Veterans’ benefits are not handouts and they’re not there to balance the budget.

Tell Congress to back off Veterans earned benefits and Honor the Contract.

Take action today: https://t.co/CeC7052N42

RIP Ted Turner, @flyingdranch

[U.S. Central Command @CENTCOM]

U.S. Central Command is aware of the loss of a U.S. KC-135 refueling aircraft. The incident occurred in friendly airspace during Operation Epic Fury, and rescue efforts are ongoing. Two aircraft were involved in the incident. One of the aircraft went down in western Iraq, and the second landed safely.

This was not due to hostile fire or friendly fire.

“Our new partnership with the Justice Department reflects our ongoing commitment to ensuring that every Veteran receives timely, appropriate care, even in complex cases,” said @SecVetAffairs.

A man in a Vietnam veteran cap and an amazing fur coat confronted ICE goons in Minneapolis – 16 people thanking this stylish legend for his service https://t.co/7CDqftqsvq

@johnrich He's a veteran who signed up to defend our country & freedom of speech. Younger veterans have a different take on the propaganda bullsh*t. ICE isn't law enforcement. This is class warfare. If you didn't raise your hand and take an oath, don't bash someone who did.

@carlwheless @M2nerist @SecVetAffairs @WSJ The VFW still advocates, we probably have one of the best veteran advocacy programs out there.

@JimStr8vegas @SecVetAffairs @AMVETSHQ @VVAmerica @AmericanLegion @PVA1946 @MissionRollCall @wwp @BoulderCrestPTG @studentvets @IndyFund The VFW tried to do that at our Washington conference two weeks ago. He refused. Notice they are not in the picture.

A Medal of Honor recipient, women and minorities are among the tens of thousands of photos marked for deletion as the Pentagon purges DEI content. https://t.co/vRLW26Fve5

[Wendy Silvera @AlottaUsmc]

@MilitaryTimes @SecDef You can delete all of our pictures/images from social media, take them down on military installations but you can never erase our contributions while serving our country.

[Wendy Silvera @AlottaUsmc]

@Tim_Walz I wish I hadn't had to travel to DC to see my reps for the VFW. I would have organized a veterans rally for you to attend.

Weird, they never got removed from the chamber.

[Luke Goldstein @lukewgoldstein]

Pete Hegseth somehow left his Venmo public (govn officials please keep doing this). @DRBoguslaw and I took a look at his high-powered rolodex and what it could portend for business before the Pentagon: contracts for defense tech and VA healthcare privatization

67% of Military members struggle with infertility issues. The hypocrisy of members of Congress like Matt Rosendale stating it's just to expense, but also making it so that in 2025, members of congress and their staff will have access to the IVF care.

@SecDef Thank you!

The women of the U.S. military face the same dangers, show the same courage, and deliver the same excellence as their male counterparts. Any military that turns away talent makes itself weaker.

[Wendy Silvera @AlottaUsmc]

@calvinrobinson Good luck finding enough qualified men to serve in these roles. You only need to look at how many branches didn't make recruiting mission. Also standards are not lowered. That's false.
