For the 18-year-old who decides to enlist. For families who pray every night their loved ones come home. For troops stationed thousands of miles away. For Lima Company.
Let’s elect leaders who don’t just respect our service, but revere it.

A dozen Republican White House lawyers who served in the administrations of then-Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush are endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris.
“We endorse Kamala Harris and support her election as President because we believe that returning former President Trump to office would threaten American democracy and undermine the rule of law in our country," the lawyers wrote in a letter that the signatories shared first with Fox News Digital.

Fmr. GOP Rep. Barbara Comstock: I will be voting for Vice President Harris. I'm a grandmother to four granddaughters. The Republican ticket is the most misogynist ticket we've ever had. It's not something my party should accept. It’s time to turn the page
Woah. It’s a BIG deal for the nation’s oldest and consistently apolitical veteran service organization to publish this statement.
Why?
1) They wouldn’t issue this without first hearing similar feedback from their members.
2) Yes they’re a nonprofit, but most VSOs place MASSIVE weight staying apolitical and practice message discipline so they can work with Rs and Ds to advance their policy agenda through Congress and the WH.
NEW for @politico — Those debating whether Tim Walz “abandoned” his unit before an Iraq deployment largely don’t understand the challenges of part-time military service. (Or how military retirement works.)
But I do. And I think he made the right call. ⬇️

Walz' reaction to attacks on his National Guard record:
"I am damn proud of my service to this country. I firmly believe you should never denigrate another person’s service record."
"More than 1,000 veterans and military family members have signed an open letter saying they are "appalled at Donald Trump and JD Vance’s politically motivated attacks" on the military service of Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz." #milfams4Kam

People are people and sometimes we change our names and addresses…
If you’re registered to vote and changed your legal name or moved in-state or out of state since the last election, you need to update your voter registration before your state’s registration deadline 💙✨
J.D. Vance claimed Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz retired from the military to avoid deploying to Iraq. Walz retired to run for Congress before his unit received official deployment orders, records and news reports show. https://t.co/ui2X8rccGe
Significant news that might've went under the radar: Homeless vets with a VA disability, won't have that disability counted against them when seeking affordable housing.

Mesa, AZ Republican Mayor John Giles: I do not recognize my party. I have something to say to those of us who are in the middle: You don’t owe a damn thing to that party. You don’t owe anything to a party that is out of touch and hell-bent on taking us backward. And by all means, you owe no loyalty to a candidate who is morally and ethically bankrupt. In the spirit of the great Senator John McCain, please join me in putting country over party and stopping Donald Trump.
There are plenty of reasons to criticize Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, but his military record isn’t a good reason to oppose his candidacy.
