Retired Rear Adm. Jim Hancock, physician and psychedelics advocate, speaks on the importance of plant medicine and why VA should be taking the lead on this critical issue. #DAVOrlando26
Washington HQ Executive Director Jim Marszalek:
“Let me be absolutely clear. DAV completely and totally rejects the idea of cutting benefits for one group of veterans—current or future—to pay for benefits already earned by another.”

The debate isn't whether combat-disabled veterans deserve more support. They do. So do survivors. So do caregivers. And we must do more to prevent veteran suicide. The debate is Section 108. Remove it.
A life-threatening Flash Flood Emergency has just been issued for the city of Wichita, Kansas as an immense iceberg of convection continues to pour heavy rainfall over the area.
At the moment, these are some of the most intense thunderstorms currently active on the planet.

Effective immediately, VA is halting enforcement of the interim final rule, Evaluative Rating: Impact of Medication.
VA issued the rule to clarify existing policy and protect Veterans’ benefits in the wake of an ongoing court action. But many interpreted the rule as something that could result in adverse consequences.
While VA does not agree with the way this rule has been characterized, the department always takes Veterans’ concerns seriously. To alleviate these concerns, VA will continue to collect public comments regarding the rule, but it will not be enforced at any time in the future.
Under my leadership, VA is ensuring that everyone applying for benefits receives everything they have earned as quickly and conveniently as possible. This includes reducing the backlog of Veterans waiting for benefits by more than 60 percent. We will continue these improvements on behalf of America’s Veterans, families, caregivers and survivors.
Retired Army colonel here. Three combat tours. 60% disabled per the VA. Spent most of my tactical career in the 82nd Airborne.
Please read what I am about to say with the sneering condescension with which I intend it:
Mr. Kristol, you are a grifter. Worse, you are a lying grifter devoid of morals who lets his beliefs change with whatever winds point to more filthy lucre. Today's speech by Secretary Hegseth was both entirely necessary and entirely spectacular. Those of us rank and file who fought in the wars you and your yellow, slobbering neocon chickenhawk buddies sent us off to die in applaud this effort with the utmost enthusiasm. These clownish, dangerous, senior generals and admirals have been the architects of American military failure for 20+ years. Their silence is indicative of nothing more than the fact that they know the gig is up and their fatcat days of being Perfumed Princes are no more. So howzabout you shut your trap and let us warriors decide what this speech meant? Good day, sir.
