Rep. Mike Bost and Republicans just deceitfully forced through TCAVA with a voice vote while key opposition voices were off the House floor. That's why @RepBost is the inaugural winner of our “Blue Falcon” award. TCAVA fails America’s current and future veterans.

This Veterans Day we are thinking about what future is possible with thoughts from Army veteran and our Executive Director, Jose Vasquez:

“Every Veterans Day, we take time to recognize the Americans who have answered the call to serve. But for the past few decades, the meaning of that service is inseparable from a lifetime spent watching our country at war.

Who leaked Hegseth’s speech to Massie?
Massie: "I hope Hegseth addresses the 8 articles of impeachment, and doesn‘t get up and misquote the Bible in Quentin Tarantino fashion and do some pull-ups and call everybody fat and gay. I may have just given you half his speech, I don't know."

We agree. Impeach, remove, and prosecute Pete Hegseth.

Accountability is finally coming for Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth. Articles of Impeachment were just introduced with bipartisan support, but it is still unclear who all will vote to hold Hegseth accountable for his actions. Make sure your rep is voting yes!

Well, JD Vance got one thing right: the war was part of the reason they lost. But it wasn’t the only one. Voters also saw cruelty, corruption, and incompetence. Veterans and military families know the cost of leaders putting politics over people. It’s time to start listening.

He’s gonna be a little busy getting impeached anyway.
🚨🚨From a source close to incoming Tennessee Gov. Marsha Blackburn: "[Pete Hegseth] is not being considered [for Senate]. This is nothing more than Washington, D.C., spin from a bunch of consultants with nothing better to do. The Blackburn team is focused on the transition, not entertaining baseless speculation. Dc won't pick the next senator."

Update: it did. 😎🌊
A recent poll of US military servicemembers by @commondefense found that most are not happy with how the US military is being led. Will that show in the election results tonight? Read more about the poll here: nationalinterest.org/blog/bu…

Michigan spoke loud and clear last night by electing Abdul El-Sayed! And they didn't stop there, they also elected progressives Will Lawrence and Donavan McKinney and re-elected our longtime ally, Rashida Tlaib! Congrats: @AbdulElSayed / @WeWillMi / @DonavanMI13 / @RashidaTlaib

The veterans of Common Defense endorsed Deb Haaland for Governor over a year ago because we knew she was the best choice for New Mexico and for veterans. Congratulations to the FIRST indigenous woman to ever lead a state!

Our new polling with @DataProgress found 73% of veterans in #AZ and #NC say they feel left behind, and 64% say the military has been used for partisan purposes in recent years. Veterans showed up for this country. We deserve a country that stands up for us, too.

Community members and Common Defense veterans set up a peaceful vigil this morning at Broadview Detention Center near Chicago to honor some of those killed by ICE this year. They were met with pepper spray and aggression. Just another day of standing up to authoritarianism.

We’re just ONE Katie Zacharia away from Election Day. That’s five days out! As we head into the final stretch, make a plan to vote and know what to expect at the polls. Showing up prepared is one of the best ways we can all help protect our democracy. 💪🗳️
