@VAWomenVets We desperately need mental health providers and are being told there is in fact a hiring freeze - no new positions are being provided. Meanwhile our Veterans wait for mental healthcare and providers are overwhelmed and burnt out.

Today, we honor National Purple Heart Day—a time to recognize the brave men and women who were wounded or gave their lives in defense of our nation.

Since it was established by George Washington in 1782, more than 1.8 million Purple Hearts have been awarded. Florida is proud to be home to over 9,200 recipients. I am especially proud of my own family members that have been given this recognition and were lucky enough to make it home.

We salute our Purple Heart heroes—your sacrifice will never be forgotten. 💜🇺🇸

TRUTH BOMB: Before glyphosate was patented in 1974, autoimmune and digestive disorders were rare. Today, everybody has “gut issues.” Glyphosate destroys beneficial gut bacteria, disrupts metabolism, and weakens immunity, but people blame gluten intolerance instead of the poison sprayed on their food.

Let’s talk alcohol and why it’s one of the biggest health scams of all time.

• Just 1 drink reduces deep sleep by 40%
• Alcohol shrinks your hippocampus—the memory center of the brain
• Increases estrogen dominance (even in men)
• Alters gut bacteria in one night
• And yes—it’s classified as a Group 1 carcinogen (same as asbestos)

The “one glass of wine a night is healthy” narrative? It’s a lie.

Who’s cutting back on alcohol this year?

Thank you @realDonaldTrump for your leadership and courage. I'm committed to advancing your vision to Make America Healthy Again.

We have a generational opportunity to bring together the greatest minds in science, medicine, industry, and government to put an end to the chronic disease epidemic.

I look forward to working with the more than 80,000 employees at HHS to free the agencies from the smothering cloud of corporate capture so they can pursue their mission to make Americans once again the healthiest people on Earth.

Together we will clean up corruption, stop the revolving door between industry and government, and return our health agencies to their rich tradition of gold-standard, evidence-based science. I will provide Americans with transparency and access to all the data so they can make informed choices for themselves and their families.

My commitment to the American people is to be an honest public servant. Let’s go!

I loved what Tony did last night. It was particularly great when he made that comment about pointless wars.

The people who have supported 25 years of pointless wars, were however, very offended by his jokes.

VP Harris sounds like she just admitted the Covid virus originated in a lab. That was one of the “conspiracy theories” the Biden-Harris administration censored on the Internet. #Debate2024

In the coming days and weeks, you will see gleeful announcements of "RFK JR. DROPS OUT" and "RFK JR. ENDORSES TRUMP" in the headlines.

Typical; with a total lack of nuance.

In reality, RFK Jr. just announced a "Unity Party" with Donald Trump.

Here's how it works:

RFK Jr. has decided to pull out of swing states while staying in the overall Presidential race.

He is doing this to avoid becoming a "spoiler candidate" in states where Harris has a chance of winning.

These states include Pennsylvania, Arizona, Iowa, and others still to be announced.

This "Unity Party" arrangement OPENS doors to more votes, by allowing for Republican voters in blue states to "count" for something.

Now, instead of a wasted vote for Trump, these voters can cast a vote for Kennedy, thereby establishing a 5% vote and creating a new third (and pro-America) party for 2028.

Earning him votes where he would not have gotten them, while ensuring he doesn't "spoil" critical swing states, is the best of both worlds.

Should independents turn out for Kennedy in states where he does have a strong chance at winning, there is the possibility of blocking Trump and Kamala from earning 270 electoral votes - which he only needs 5 states to do.

In this instance, where he wins 5 states, each state gets one vote. Throughout history, the moderate always wins (and Kennedy stands an excellent chance).

The actions taken by Kennedy today are historic and will ensure a robust third-party future for the United States.

We have desperately needed someone brave enough to make this choice.

The corporate stranglehold on the Republican and Democrat parties is obvious to all.

The same donors look to find puppets in both parties. Promises to "drain the swamp" are rarely followed up with, because the parties are the swamp.

This election, we can fix that for future generations.

Kennedy's campaign was the first step in this direction.

Building a strong Unity Party is the second.

Independents are ready to build a new future, and a new party.

Not one that is owned by banks or corporations...

But one reflecting us. We, the People.

My old Dem buddies have been flooding me with frantic calls, texts, and emails. Unlike Ro, I wouldn’t dream of airing those private conversations publicly, but the message is clear: they’re terrified of the idea of our movement joining forces with Donald Trump. When I point out what the Democratic Party and their super PACs have done to sabotage our campaign, their response is always, “but Trump is worse.” Here’s an idea: stop suing us. Let us debate. Quit rigging the media and the polls. It’s a simple formula, people—get with it.

[Lauren Lee @laurenlee]

"ClearChoice, the DNC pac, was created specifically to take us out.

They have, unfortunately, turned us into a spoiler.

We wanted to win, we wanted a fair shot.

The DNC made that impossible for us.

They have banned us, kept us off stages, manipulated polls, used lawfare against us, sued us in every possible state, they've even planted insiders into our campaign to disrupt it and create legal issues for us.

The extent to which the sabotage they've unleashed upon us is mind-blowing; I mean, we're still learning new ways they've done that.

... I am so disappointed I ever helped them [the Democrats].

I'm so disappointed I helped Chuck Schumer.

It's probably one of the biggest mistakes of my life."

Tonight is an opportunity to end legacy media.

It is no longer reflective of the will of the people.

It censors us, edits what we hear, and ignores our pleas for transparency.

Yet - it’s executives exert massive influence in our elections and in our democracy.

Now is our chance to ignore THEM, and send a huge message to the rich and powerful keeping Robert F. Kennedy off the stage.

Tonight, Kennedy will participate in his own way - streaming the CNN debate and answering the questions, giving Americans a third choice.

He will likely be the only sound and rational leader on stage.

This is The Real Debate. The one for the people.
