What were you doing on June 6? Were you one of the 10,000 people who joined us on the national mall? We rallied for veteran jobs. We rallied to protect the VA. We rallied in support of the Constitution. Relive the experience now. . . https://t.co/x62dwb4Xmx

Our hearts break for the two WV National Guard members shot in DC. We warned that a "manufactured war" on our streets puts troops at risk. To the families: We have your six. To the administration: Stop the stunts. Bring them home. #NoWarOnOurStreets

Our thoughts are with the service members who were harmed today, and their families We don't know what motivated this senseless act, but one thing is clear: if the National Guard had not been deployed when they weren’t needed, this would not have happened https://t.co/zH1cRSZ4dB

Veterans from every branch are speaking out. Senator Mark Kelly is being threatened for reminding troops their oath is to the Constitution, not a president. This isn’t justice. It’s intimidation. Honor your oath. Defend democracy. Don’t give up the ship.

The Pentagon's "review" into Sen. Mark Kelly (Ret. Navy Capt.) is an assault on free speech and the military oath. He only reminded troops of their basic training: DO NOT FOLLOW ILLEGAL ORDERS. They're punishing a veteran for upholding the rule of law. https://t.co/UVAqWUQdti

VFRL was honored to be part of a veterans town hall with @SenMarkKelly this summer and we are proud to stand by him now. His lifetime of service to this country is unmatched and the authoritarian tactics that the Trump administration is using against him will fail.
When I was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space

Deploying the National Guard to U.S. cities without a real emergency is a misuse of power. The Senate Armed Services Committee has asked Sec. Hegseth to answer questions about this. We want to know when he is going to talk to our representatives. https://t.co/F6Jrcvf7Fo

Thank you, Theodore R. Johnson for laying out the complexity of veterans benefits. As we said earlier, the Washington Post's recent series left a lot out. Johnson is filling in some of those blanks to help us all. Thank you for your service. https://t.co/s1f5NNE53W

Thank you General Honore for your service and for speaking out. Your words hit home for many of us who do not want to see the military used as political pawns. Our National Guard should not be policing our cities. https://t.co/Oq9l8ETwFL

Why is ICE wearing masks? "The masks were a way for officers to opt out—to wall off the political complexities of their work or, for some, the moral ones." That's not a good reason and it leads to distrust in everyone in uniform. https://t.co/3u8OAuKlmH

Sec. Hegseth has fired roughly two dozen generals and admirals in less than a year — without cause, against advice, and in response to partisan social media attacks. The result: a breakdown in the apolitical norms that hold the officer corps together. https://t.co/8d4fOgzGv1

¿Conoces la diferencia entre la Guardia Nacional y ICE? La Guardia Nacional son tus vecinos. Son miembros de tu comunidad. Cuando son desplegados, están ahí para ayudar a la comunidad, no para hacerle daño.

There are many different forces being deployed across the US, particularly in cities. It is important to #KnowtheDifference between these forces. The National Guard and ICE are not the same. They have different missions. https://t.co/IGrXRawvbk

"While some providers who spoke to CNN said they are given some flexibility to extend care, all said there has been a draconian effort to move patients out of individual therapy more quickly since President Donald Trump took office and installed Doug Collins as VA secretary."
