Today is Veterans Day. The pattern is 250 years old. It has never changed.
When the Revolutionary War ended, the Continental Congress had already promised pensions to those who fought. They had no money to honor the promise. Veterans waited. Most sold their claims to speculators for pennies. A general pension finally passed in 1818, forty-three years after the war began, and Congress cut benefits almost immediately once the claims came in.
After the Civil War, more than a million veterans, widows, and orphans were owed benefits. Fewer than 5 percent received them at first. Veterans had to build a political organization just to make Congress follow through on what it had already promised.
The men in this photo are the Bonus Army. World War I veterans. In 1924, Congress gave them certificates redeemable in 1945 for $1,000 each. When the Depression hit in 1932 and veterans asked for early payment, the government sent the Army to remove them from Washington. Tanks, cavalry, tear gas, bayonets. A 12-week-old child died in the attack. The shantytown was burned to the ground.
Vietnam veterans exposed to Agent Orange spent decades fighting the VA for benefits. Between 2003 and 2021, only 8 percent of veterans with qualifying conditions were granted them.
This is not a series of failures. It is a consistent policy.
The best way to honor a veteran is not a parade. It is a promise kept. It is a war declared by Congress before anyone is sent. It is troops who come home.
We honor veterans by refusing to make more of them.

Ice doesnt exist to protect you.
For anyone who hasn't heard about this yet: ICE showed up at the front door of Dr. Ann Lawani in Lodi, California, while she was still in her pajamas, shackled her at the wrists, waist, and ankles, and shipped her all the way to a detention center in Louisiana.
She’s a frontline nurse who worked through the worst of COVID, directs the master's nursing program at the University of San Francisco (overseeing 230+ nursing students), and takes care of her 83-year-old dad.
When her family and lawyer tried to find out where she was taken, ICE’s online locator came back with "0 results." It turns out ICE quietly changed its policy the day before her arrest to stop listing thousands of detainees in the public database, so her family had no idea where she was for days while she was bounced from Stockton to Bakersfield to El Paso to Louisiana.
DHS put out a statement claiming she had a 2013 removal order, but they conveniently left out that on the *exact same day* in 2013, an immigration judge granted her Withholding of Removal blocking her deportation to Nigeria because she faced persecution there.
She has zero criminal record, has checked in with ICE for 13 years, and has a valid federal work permit through 2029. Because they legally can't send her to Nigeria, Rep. Josh Harder says ICE has been trying to quietly deport her to an undisclosed third country behind her lawyer's back.

Dit is geen belastingheffing; dit is pure afgunst verpakt als beleid. Mensen die spaarden, belegden of vroeg in bitcoin of goud stapten – buiten de banken en buiten het fiat-systeem – worden nu extra gepakt, terwijl vermogen dat wél bij een bank staat anders behandeld wordt. Je hebt nog niets verkocht, er is nog geen echte winst gerealiseerd, en toch mag de staat al een hap nemen. Dat is een aanval op eigendom en op de vrijheid om zelf te kiezen hoe je je vermogen bewaart.
Afgunst is hier de drijvende kracht. Wie succesvol is buiten de goedgekeurde kanalen (ondernemers, spaarders, bitcoin-houders) wordt gezien als een probleem dat “gecorrigeerd” moet worden. Het resultaat is bekend: kapitaal vlucht, mensen stemmen met de voeten, en degenen die blijven, worden nog harder belast. De Laffer-curve bestaat niet voor niets.
De Libertaire Partij staat voor het tegenovergestelde: geen belasting op vermogen, geen belasting op ongerealiseerde winsten, geen discriminatie tussen verschillende vormen van spaargeld of investeringen. De overheid is er niet om afgunst te institutionaliseren of om mensen te straffen, omdat ze hun geld niet bij de bank of in consumptie hebben gestopt. De zaag door Den Haag begint hier: schaf dit soort roofbelastingen af.
Het huidige financiële systeem komt ten goede aan bankiers en de staatskas, maar gaat ten koste van de bevolking. Inflatie en een op schulden gebaseerde economie zijn directe gevolgen van monetair beleid: een overheid die zich bemoeit met het geld.
De LP is voorstander van vrijmunterij en wil dat de overheid zich afzijdig houdt van het geldstelsel. Kortom: een scheiding van geld en staat.
De LP is voor:
– een overheid die banken geen garanties biedt;
– veilige spaaralternatieven, zoals een depositobank, niet langer verbieden;
– een vrije markt voor financiële diensten: afschaffing van bankvergunningen;
– vrijheid om belasting te betalen in andere valuta dan de euro, waaronder bitcoin;
– Bitcoin als de voornaamste oplossing tegen de manipulatie van geld;
– cryptomunten en ander geld niet langer belasten als belegging, maar als (vreemde) valuta. Vervolgens, op termijn, alle belastingen op vermogen en bezit afschaffen.

More than 150 little girls were killed when a US strike hit their elementary school in Minab, Iran.
That was Article IV of the Hegseth impeachment.
Tuesday, Congress finally had to answer for it. Republicans voted to bury it. And 11 Democrats, the party that spent all year screaming "impeach," didn't bother to walk into the room.
It lost by 7 votes.
Some of them were at a reception down the street, thrown by a PAC whose super PAC took $2.4 million from AIPAC's super PAC. Then they blamed traffic.
Dead schoolgirls got an empty chair. The PAC got a full room.
If one of these people represents you, this is on you now:
Julia Brownley (CA-26)
Lou Correa (CA-46)
Laura Gillen (NY-04)
Steven Horsford (NV-04)
Jonathan Jackson (IL-01)
Nancy Pelosi (CA-11)
Brittany Pettersen (CO-07)
Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)
Haley Stevens (MI-11)
Marilyn Strickland (WA-10)
Frederica Wilson (FL-24)
Call their office. Show up at their town halls. Write the local paper. Tell them to their face: when the vote came to hold someone accountable for those children, you weren't there. Their blood is on your hands too.
Then make sure they never forget it. Primary them. Vote them out. Don't let one more "I would have voted no" statement wash it away.
Everyone else: share this until it lands in their districts.
And if you're done with two parties that share one war, join us.

A ballroom bigger than the White House.
It's going to be an eyesore for sure, and a waste of money.

The GOP did not suffer a historic loss because of the SAVE America Act. I'd bet a majority of voters have no idea what that even is. Republicans lost because Trump promised affordability and no new wars and instead delivered war and high prices. This guy's shtick is so tired.
I was kicked out of a dinner in South Dakota because I’ve consistently pushed the SAVE America Act.
Instead of listening to the grassroots, our Republican Senate defied us for 2 years
& delivered losses in Alaska, Kansas, & Mississippi.
Our new Republican Senate minority just voted to re-elect Senator Thune.
Why do South Dakota Republicans continue to vote for him in the primary?
“I’m the assh@le saying you can’t come in.”

If you really want to honor veterans, stop letting the government send them to fight and die in pointless, unwinnable wars.
Bring them home. Keep them home.

I swear conservatives have never read the constitution.
The Constitution does not authorize impeachment for a Secretary carrying out the orders of the Executive. That would give Congress direct power over Executive functions
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Article II, Section 4 subjects all civil Officers, including Cabinet secretaries, to impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanors. No exception for following presidential orders. Belknap (1876) and Mayorkas (2024) were impeached.

Just pure evil
Abolish ICE

One moment Alex Wittlin was driving home after a long workday. Moments later he was on his knees on the asphalt, guns pointed directly at him.
Flock cameras in Dunwoody, Georgia had mistakenly identified Alex as a suspect in a domestic violence incident. Upon learning that they were mistaken, the police were jovial, congratulating Alex for complying so well with their commands.
But police encounters, particularly one’s like Alex’s, are no laughing matter. Each movement, no matter how slight, could be interpreted by police as non-compliance or a threat, and they could respond with deadly force.
These kinds of incidents happen far too often across America.
Government surveillance not only violates the privacy, dignity, and respect of innocent individuals; it can also put them in harm’s way.
Given the potential consequences, we should demand that these systems be removed from public spaces. Please join us in our call-to-action and demand an end to Flock and other license plate readers in Dunwoody, Georgia. See link in comments.
Have law enforcement harmed you through stalking or misidentification by a Flock system? If so, You Are The Power wants to hear from you. Complete the request-for-help form at the link in the comments.

On Veterans Day,
Men and women put on the uniform and answered when their country called. Many paid a high personal price. The least we can do is stop treating their service as a blank check for endless wars.
We honor veterans best when we refuse to start new conflicts that never end, never win, and never face a clear vote from the people. We honor them when we bring troops home from places that hold no true vital interest. We honor them when we stop using the military as a jobs program or a tool for foreign adventures that make the world less safe and our own country less free.
Endless war creates more veterans who need care, more debt, more surveillance, and more excuses for government growth. It does not create security.
To those who served: thank you. We show the highest respect when we refuse to send the next generation into the same cycle.

If a billionaire figures out how to build houses for half the price, I want him building millions of them.
If your first concern is how rich that would make him or how much inequality that would create, then we have very different housing priorities.

They officially lost Mississippi.
The margin was under 5K votes, and voter anger over tariffs was the major issue in the state.
