"The Trump administration is making it more difficult for veterans with a rare but deadly cancer to get their health care needs covered by the government. The new policy, involving breast cancer in men, is laid out in a Department of Veterans Affairs memo obtained by ProPublica."

A Department of Veterans Affairs memo obtained by ProPublica erects new roadblocks to care for veterans with the rare but deadly cancer.
The agency cites no new science but relies on an executive order about “restoring biological truth” in government.

@ProPublica The war on truth continues in furtherance of a concept of a plan for ideological purity.

#Trump is absolutely right! Those stupid motherf.... #WW2 #war #veterans thought they needed to "liberate" #Europe from the absolutely fine #Nazi people a few decades ago.
They even joined the #Antifa #terror organization named allied forces. 🤯
Total failure.
So sad.
Trump would have loved to make the bestest deals with #Hitler just as he loves to deal with #Putin and other great leaders who really love their people.
Why are those last remaining WW2 veterans still running freely and not living in those shiny new concentration camps built recently where they can't do any further damage to the free people of #USA?
Lock! Them! Up!

👟 September is Fall Prevention & Healthy #Aging Month!
I filmed a short video at the Malden Senior Center to show just how much they offer—and to prove that senior centers are anything but boring. 😅
➡️ My hope is that this inspires you to explore your own local senior center. There’s a whole #community waiting for you—full of movement, smiles, and connection.

AP: Army veteran who burned U.S. flag near White House pleads not guilty to federal charges
"...Carey, 54, of Arden, North Carolina, was arrested on Aug. 25 after he set fire to a flag in Lafayette Park, which the National Park Service oversees. Earlier that day, Trump signed an executive order requiring the Justice Department to investigate and prosecute people for burning the American flag..... The Supreme Court has ruled that flag burning is a legitimate political expression protected by the Constitution...
.Carey said he served in the Army from 1989 to 2012 and was deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.
“I served this country for over 20 years, having taken an oath to upheld our Constitution. I did not take an oath to serve a dictator, a tyrant or a wannabe king,” he told reporters after the hearing."

Can't do full alt text but here are some quotes:
"We started our veteran sit-in yesterday" [Union Station]
"We educated, informed, and encouraged the national guard. Because our protest is with the military presence in DC, not with the national guard troops"
"Today we showed up for day two of our sit-in and they're gone"

A bunch of veterans ran off #ICE at Union Station, and then educated the #NationalGuard about their right and duty to refuse illegal orders. Now there is also no National Guard presence at the station. These #veterans say they will continue their sit ins across the city until all federal forces are out of #WashingtonDC.

Amid concerns about the stability of the agency, records show nearly 40% of the doctors offered jobs at the VA from January through March of this year turned them down — quadruple the rate of rejections for the same period a year earlier.
