They talk about war in press conferences. We pay for it at the gas station, the grocery store, and around the kitchen table.

A veteran who deployed to Iraq breaks down what another forever war actually costs the people footing the bill.

Trump got 20 minutes on national TV.

He spent them lying about Gold Star Families, begging allies, and asking Americans not to hold him accountable in November.

That is the speech.

Hold the line in 2026.

Fear is the whole strategy. Make people feel alone, make them feel small, make them stay home. It does not work when we show up anyway.

Every single time.

This country belongs to you.

Who else is showing up?

They say they're pro-veteran.

Then they cut VA healthcare, gut food assistance, and ask for $200 billion more for war.

We are not letting that slide.

Hegseth just blocked four qualified officers from being promoted to Brigadier General, including two Black officers and two women, overriding the military's own process.

His spokesperson called it "apolitical."

We know better.

Veterans, military families, and communities joined together across the country to fight back against Trump’s authoritarian regime.

We rejected kings in 1776 and 250 years later we are reaffirming that legacy!

I marched for months to try to stop the Iraq invasion and after

This is purely a power move from a crazy man (or two)

To try to frame arguments against the lies is like trying to box up a fart

Kings rule by fear. They make people afraid to speak up. Trump wants us scared and quiet. We will not be.

If you are looking for real time updates and voices of the resistance at #NoKings events around the country today this is a good place to start. Please share and follow. ❤️

In 1776, our Founders rejected the rule of kings and built something the world had never seen: a Republic governed by the many, not the one. We have sustained it for 250 years. That is the result of ordinary people refusing to give it up.

Today, be one of those people. Show up. #NoKings

📌BREAKING via NYT: “Pete Hegseth is blocking the promotion of four Army officers to be one-star generals, a highly unusual move."
Two of the officers are Black and two are women, the other 32 are white men.
Tell me again this regime isn’t fueled by bigotry and misogyny, and I’ll call you a liar.

They told us 18 troops were hurt in Iran.

The real number is 140.

An Iraq veteran and Common Defense political director just said what that means.

Trump's PAC is fundraising using a photo of a flag-draped casket from last week's dignified transfer of fallen soldiers.

Our Georgia organizer, an Air Force veteran, heard about it and didn't hold back.

She won.

Common Defense endorsed Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton for U.S. Senate because she fights for working families, rejects corporate money, and has the spine to stand on her values. Illinois just made the right call.

Proud to be with her.

A vet just used Harry Truman and the atomic bomb to respond to Trump's "feel it in my bones" war strategy.

It did not go the way Trump's supporters would hope.

This is a strategy to suppress the vote that was engineered just to win the midterms!
