VoteVets, @amprog, and veteran members of Congress are urging for the necessary $3.6 billion in funding to state election officials for safe and secure vote by mail programs. (1/5) Image
“Millions of service members stationed overseas have voted by mail... It is time to give states the resources they need to provide a vote-by-mail option so no American has to choose between their health and their right to vote." - @RepJasonCrow. (2/5)
“We’re proud to stand up today, alongside the members leading this letter, and help strengthen our constitutional right to a free and fair vote. Our country is stronger when more people exercise their right... The Senate must act.” - @Will_P_Goodwin (3/5)
"For those who have served in the US military, it should not be harder to cast a ballot on US soil than it is abroad... Without this critical federal funding, countless Americans, including many veterans, will be forced to risk their lives in order to vote.” -@SamBerger_DC (4/5)
"Thank you for leading this fight, @RepJasonCrow @RepSherrill @RepAnthonyBrown @RepThompson @RepGilCisneros @SanfordBishop @sethmoulton @RepMaxRose @RepHoulahan @RepConorLamb" (5/5)

🚨If you’re looking for a textbook example of Stolen Valor, look no further than Donald Trump’s campaign and the 50 Veterans who signed this letter.

29 of the signatures come from Republicans who falsely claim they retired from military service.

The most egregious example is Ronny Jackson, the former Navy officer reduced in rank from Rear Admiral to Captain after retirement.

@RonnyJacksonTX - you were demoted from Rear Admiral to Captain – why are YOU committing stolen valor for claiming you’re a retired flag officer?
@TroyNehls – to see you signing a letter to ANYONE about stolen valor is the height of hypocrisy. Ask anyone who’s seen you wearing that Combat Infantryman’s Badge that you never earned!

The notion of a president claiming immunity for ordering the assassination of a political rival using the military like SEAL Team 6 is fundamentally against the principles of democracy and the rule of law.

Here are several reasons why such an act would be VERY detrimental:
🧵
The Constitution enshrines the rule of law and the separation of powers. The president using the military as a tool for personal vendettas, and not allowing the judiciary to hold a president accountable violates these principles. It undermines the checks & balances designed to prevent the abuse of power.

2/
Democracy relies on peaceful transitions of power and the electoral process, not through violence or force.

Utilizing the military to target political rivals would move us into an age of authoritarianism and away from democracy.

What a HUGE night across America, particularly in Virginia. In the state legislature races, EIGHT VoteVets-endorsed candidates won in some of the toughest districts, helping Democrats keep the Senate and flip the House!

Keep that in mind for 2024! Join our fight at !
Congratulations to all the #VoteVetsEL projected winners! Image

We've got something to say about the fringe attacks happening on our LGBTQ+ Troops coming from the right.  So listen up.

🧵
There are real threats facing us, and we need all hands on deck to defend our country. Our Military is the most lethal and capable fighting force in the world because it's made up of our best, brightest and strongest.

/2
The fringe right wants to impose its extreme social engineering on our Military by alienating and kicking out LGBTQ+ Troops.

They'd sacrifice our security and Military for their social agenda.

Donald Trump is consistently a clear and present danger to our national security. His followers believe his lies and end up dying on his behalf.
Trump is not just a danger to our nation, he's a danger to his followers.
@RepMTG, how do you feel about contributing to someone’s death?

Today is #MemorialDay. While it has become a day for BBQ's, beaches and sales, please remember the real reason for this day, and why so many have off work to observe it.
 
🧵
Interestingly, no one agrees where Memorial Day started. Numerous places claim it, which only proves how important we as a nation agree it is to remember our fallen.

At any rate, the name Memorial Day wasn't official until 1967, some 100+ years after the first observances.

2/
This is also not Veterans Day. While we'd argue any day is a good one to thank a Veteran for their service, and ask how they are, today is dedicated to those we've lost.

It's not a "Happy" day, either.
