Ashley Hinson cast six votes to continue the Iran war. Now she's flip-flopping and saying it should end. Iowans have two options: believe Hinson's words, or her record. Veterans have had to make this choice before, and it's why they're backing Josh Turek this November.

More than half of all VA medical centers are now reporting severe staffing shortages. 97% of facilities can't fully staff their doctors, and 58% can't hire enough psychologists. The Trump administration has cut roughly 30,000 VA jobs. Now, Veterans are paying the price. @repvindman.bsky.social

Yesterday, Pete Hegseth gave an unhinged State Of The Force speech at Quantico. He called service members slurs, bragged about testosterone tests, and attacked the media for "Trump Derangement Syndrome." One thing is clear: Hegseth is more focused on winning culture wars than real ones.

Donald Trump started a war with Iran that he said would end in about two weeks. That was more than 212 days ago. Since then, at least 19 American service members have died, and more than 800 have been injured. Dozens of US aircraft have been damaged or destroyed. See it all at AboutTwoWeeks.com.

Donald Trump is planning a monstrous 250-foot arch to be built near Arlington National Cemetery. Veterans have a message for him: HELL NO. The "Arc De Trump" is no monument, it's a middle finger to those buried at Arlington.

The Pentagon has been caught in two separate scandals this week: undercounting casualties and hiding the extent of our destroyed infrastructure in the Middle East. Both are what Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton (Ret.) would describe as "military malpractice." Watch his full analysis now.

Trump knows his 250-foot arch is a political disaster, so just like his monstrous ballroom he's now pitching it as a military installation chock full of drones and snipers. He's lost the American people on this issue and he knows it, so now he's panicking.

Leader Jeffries just dropped a stat that will make your jaw drop: more generals have been purged in the last 20 months than have left the military in the 160 years since the CIVIL WAR, and it's all thanks to Pete Hegseth. Hegseth is the architect of this Iran War, and its failure will be his legacy.

Donald Trump says we're not at war and that it's all "small potatoes." Someone should make him say that to Gold Star spouse Libby Klinner's face. Trump may think 18 dead service members is nothing, but there's nothing small about it for the families who lose a loved one. @gunnyspeaksout.bsky.social

For the first time, the US military has publicly acknowledged that it has space weaponry, violating its policy of secrecy. Experts warn the revelation will cause our adversaries to launch a new arms race in space. One said "I don't think this is going to be in the interest of US national security.”

The first five months of the Iran War has cost the U.S. a grand total 38 BILLION DOLLARS. That’s $38 Billion taken out of your taxes to fund a forever war that nobody ever asked for. Even worse is the fact that we’ve spent all of this money and have made almost ZERO PROGRESS ending this war.

Two American teens were on their way to enlist in the Marines and serve their country, only to have their basic human rights violated. They were pepper sprayed, physically assaulted, and detained for 8 hours for the “crime” of filming ICE agents as they detained parents outside of a school.

When Col. Norman Eaton's remains were recovered after 40 years, his family chose to lay him to rest at Arlington National Cemetery, our nation's most sacred burial ground. But with the “Arc De Trump” beginning construction, vets are reconsidering if they even want to be buried there anymore.

Some ground isn’t for building on. Arlington National Cemetery is the final resting place of more than 400,000 service members and their families. A 250-foot arch, with a tourist observation deck, would go up at its entrance, changing that ground forever.

As a Gold Star Son, the "Arc De Trump" is personal for Major Gen. Paul Eaton. His father is buried at Arlington National Cemetery and Trump's 250-foot monument would sit right at its entrance. We need to honor the fallen, and all military families, who have given everything to this country.

Since Pete Hegseth has taken over the Pentagon, he has removed a stunning share of its most experienced leaders. More than 250 combined years of military experience have been fired, forced out, or sidelined by Pete Hegseth. Those who are left answer only to loyalty, not the mission.

The Pentagon is secretly putting MAGA influencers (at least 3 retired colonels with 1M+ followers combined) on the Pentagon payroll to boost Pete Hegseth and attack critics, per the Washington Post. None of it was disclosed, and it comes amidst recent purges at Stars & Stripes.

Army Secretary Dan Driscoll is out after 18 months. Before resigning, Driscoll reportedly warned Trump about Hegseth's repeated firings of the Army's top generals. Trump's response? He was surprised. A clear sign the Commander-in-Chief is being fed lies about his own Pentagon.

The Supreme Court just ruled 6-3 to let Trump restrict mail-in voting, just two months before the midterms, and one week after Trump himself voted by mail. 1.3 million active-duty troops vote by mail. Apparently it’s “support the troops" until they try to cast a ballot. This must be stopped.

Nancy Lacore rose from helicopter pilot to 3-star admiral commanding 60,000 sailors. Then Pete Hegseth fired her without cause or explanation. Lacore’s military career may have been cut short, but she’s not done serving. That’s why she's running to flip South Carolina's 1st Congressional District.
