The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Hey @realDonaldTrump exactly which holiday do you have in mind? Hmmm?

@RepSwalwell We just spent 50 million on a bs parade. Trump needs to sit down

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

Reporter: Some Catholics are not happy about the image of you looking like the Pope

Trump: You mean they can’t take a joke? You mean the fake news. The Catholics loved it. I had nothing to do with it. Maybe it was AI. My wife thought it was cute. Ha ha

Reporter: It was put out on the WH account..

Trump: Give me a break

[Margari R @margari_r]

Bravo

Europe has already drastically reduced its reliance on Russian energy.

Today, we unveiled our plan to end all Russian energy imports by 2027.
This will mark a permanent break.

Russia will no longer be able to use energy as a weapon against us.

Reporter: How did you decide to reopen Alcatraz?

Trump: I was supposed to be a movie maker… Nobody ever escaped. One person almost got there but they found his clothing rather badly ripped up, a lot of shark bites…

@RachelTrue @SocialSecurity According to SSA data, 40 of the agency's approximately 1,200 field offices have a staff loss rate of at least 25 percent. Eleven offices are losing a 3rd or more of their workers.Wisconsin; Nevada, Missouri; and Alexandria, Minnesota — will see at least half of the staff depart.

Former President Joe Biden is lying to Americans.

Here are the facts:

1️⃣President Trump has repeatedly promised to protect Social Security and ensure higher-take home pay for seniors by ending taxation on Social Security benefits.

1-800-772-1213 This is not accurate. A yr a go I applied for my son. Wait time was 90 days. They just finally gave me a result. Denied. The number above you call and the recording says 250 days till approved. They cut personnel.

3️⃣SSA is taking commonsense steps to transform how we serve the public - last month, we spent $16.5 million to modernize telephone services nationwide. We’re developing cutting-edge, AI-powered tools to streamline simple tasks.

@LarryECornell @ProjectLincoln Larry some ppl like to be bottom. We get it. Some like to be ruled by kings.

America literally was built to not be ruled by kings.

🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
A tip, identify yourself as a man that needs someone else to rule him.smh

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

If you live in Wisconsin – or have friends or family who do – there’s an important Supreme Court race happening right now. And there’s only one candidate ready to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of Wisconsinites: Judge Susan Crawford.

We’ve all seen how important judges are in protecting our rights, so vote early — don’t wait until April 1st. Find your early vote location: https://t.co/oDaQcyU3QJ

As of March 16, 2025, here are all available details on the recent veterans march based on reputable sources, focusing on events around March 14, 2025, when veterans rallied in Washington, D.C., and state capitals. I’ve excluded X posts as primary evidence, using them only for sentiment where noted, and relied on mainstream outlets like Newsweek, https://t.co/4W0oqRFidp, Stars and Stripes, and The Washington Examiner.

Overview
Event Name: Veterans March (also called "NowDC" or "Veterans March for Democracy" by organizers).

Date: Friday, March 14, 2025.

Locations: Primary march on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., with simultaneous protests at all 50 state capitals (e.g., Raleigh, NC, per Cardinal & Pine).
Organizers: Fourteenth Now (led by Jessica Denson), Veterans for Democracy, NowMarch, and Sons of Liberty (a progressive veterans group). The march was promoted as a grassroots effort, welcoming "freedom-lovers of all backgrounds."

Participants: Thousands attended, with estimates varying—Stars and Stripes reported nearly 3,000 in D.C., while The Washington Examiner cited "thousands" expected. Attendees included veterans, their families, and left-leaning supporters.

Purpose and Demands
The march protested Trump administration policies perceived as harming veterans and democracy, specifically:

Federal Job Cuts: Anger over layoffs of veteran federal employees, part of DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) cost-cutting led by Elon Musk. Around 30,000 probationary workers, many veterans (who make up 30% of the federal workforce), were fired since January 2025, per Newsweek. A leaked memo suggested up to 83,000 VA job cuts planned, though unconfirmed by VA officials.

VA Service Reductions: Claims of slashed healthcare and benefits, including canceled suicide prevention training and delayed cancer treatments, per https://t.co/4W0oqRFidp. VA denied systemic issues, blaming Biden-era bloat (NPR, March 14).
Social Security Cuts: Opposition to proposed reductions, seen as threatening veterans’ financial stability.

January 6 Pardons: Criticism of Trump pardoning January 6 rioters, viewed as undermining the Constitution.

14th Amendment: Organizers chose March 14 (3/14) to invoke Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, arguing Trump’s January 6 actions disqualify him from office—a symbolic demand for his removal.

Key Details
D.C. Rally:
Time: Convened at noon on the National Mall, between Fourth and Sixth Streets NW.
Activities: Speeches, flag-waving, chants like “Lock him up.” Signs ranged from “Support Ukraine” to “Stop Musk’s Coup.”

Speakers: Included comedian Cliff Cash, who proposed the veteran focus, and Jessica Denson, who livestreamed on YouTube. Cash told The Washington Examiner the march aimed to energize the left and challenge the right’s “monopoly on patriotism.”
Symbols: Disabled veteran Don Carter, 92, held a sign: “I’m not a sucker. I’m not a loser. I’m a proud Navy veteran,” referencing alleged 2020 Trump remarks (The Atlantic, denied by Trump).

State Protests: Rallies varied in size—hundreds marched in Raleigh (Cardinal & Pine), while Everett, WA, saw a sidewalk gathering with Women’s March support. Exact numbers nationwide are unclear.
Broader Campaign: Part of a multi-day effort—March 15 targeted media (e.g., Fox News), March 16 hit the Heritage Foundation, tied to Project 2025 fears.

Context and Reactions
Trump Admin: Empowered Musk’s DOGE to slash federal spending, firing probationary workers (e.g., 2,500 from VA since January, per Newsweek). VA’s Peter Kasperowicz (https://t.co/4W0oqRFidp, March 14) called protest claims “disinformation,” arguing wait times rose under Biden, not Trump.
Veteran Impact: Vincent Camacho, a 24-year Air Force vet, protested his USDA firing (https://t.co/4W0oqRFidp). Unions and Democrats, like Rep. Gerry Connolly, decried cuts (AP, March 14).
Public Sentiment: X posts show polarized views—some called it “pitiful” hyperbole, others praised veterans’ stand (inconclusive without broader data).

Outcomes
Immediate: Peaceful, no arrests reported in D.C. (Newsweek sought police comment, unanswered). Raised visibility of veteran discontent.
Policy: No immediate reversal of cuts; House passed a funding resolution with military raises, but VA budget for 2025/26 is unsubmitted (Stars and Stripes).
Limitations
Exact attendance and state-by-state details are sparse—mainstream coverage focused on D.C. VA cuts’ full scope (e.g., 83,000 jobs) remains a leaked, unverified figure. Project 2025’s link to Trump is disputed—he denies involvement, despite Cabinet ties (Newsweek).
Conclusion
The March 14 Veterans March was a significant, multi-state protest against Trump’s policies, centered on veteran job losses, VA cuts, and constitutional concerns. It drew thousands to D.C. and state capitals, blending veteran voices with broader dissent. Details remain fluid—check NPR, AP, or https://t.co/HVfuI63OQV for updates as budget talks or legal challenges evolve. Anything specific you’d like deeper on?
