I feel bad for all the #vets who are facing foreclosure due to the #Trump regime arbitrarily yoinking a VA debt program without replacing it (or even sharing if they *will* replace it).

"What’s happening in this country to our veterans is not right."

A crowd of nearly 3,000 gathered Friday on the National Mall for a veterans' rally to protest cuts by President Donald Trump to veterans' federal jobs, services and benefits. Reject the fascist republican criminals.

Let me tell you: all Vets vote #Democratic no excuses, you have the marching order, #Dems in every race.
