"The SAVE Act and the March 25th executive order would threaten to make things significantly worse. If implemented these policies would disenfranchise countless service members and their families." - Nicole Meek, Military Spouse https://t.co/fShFKNwG7N

The order will change how servicemembers overseas will vote and make it harder for them to cast their ballots. https://t.co/CXWwtTb5hV

[Hayley Harding @Hayley__Harding]

@VotebeatUS Nearly 22,000 Michigan voters — military service members and those living overseas — took advantage of a federal law that allows them to cast their ballots from wherever in the world they are.

Trump's executive order on voting could stifle that : https://t.co/dgdk4rFDOx

“Like all Americans, I want to have a voice in our elections,” said Nicole Meek, an Air Force spouse working with @Secure_Families. “But I don’t have the same option that my friends and family have to walk into their local polling station and cast their ballot in person."

Cobyline with @bcrodriguez about how active duty military spouses (92% of whom are women) are dealing with the bad-faith GOP challenges to their ballots.

Spoiler alert: They are mad!

If you’re wondering why there’s so much confusion / misinformation about Tim Walz’s military record…

We need newsrooms that know the language of military service vs pundits who discredit any service that’s not combat or don’t count “deployments” unless they’re to Afghanistan

It is June 2024 and Trump is still falsely saying he got the Veterans Choice program passed and I am still tweeting about it. https://t.co/CtVShLUcSE

This split screen is too painful to watch. Please, CNN, we already don’t want this. Spare us the split screen.

[Nikki @nikkimeeek]

And even cases where there is care on base - civilians are clearly not the priority.

Not to mention the uncomfortable experience of going to a military treatment facility — and an added / weird power dynamic that exists when your healthcare provider is in uniform?

[Nikki @nikkimeeek]

@QuilLawrence Thank you for bringing attention to this!

Looking for mental health care (or really any health care) with TRICARE was so much harder than with my employer healthcare plan. Both by quality and quantity of options available.

[Quil Lawrence @QuilLawrence]

Oftentimes, when troops/families are told to go get care off-base, there isn't any https://t.co/I6VGm0jxNl
