NEVER AGAIN should Donald Trump be trusted with national security clearance.
NEVER AGAIN should Trump be in command of our Armed Forces.
NEVER AGAIN should anyone who serves our country in uniform have to salute a walking, talking NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT!
We know you didn’t serve but the AR-15 recovered is almost identical to what our troops carry today in combat. Maybe you should do something about that besides pray.
Please take 2 minutes out of your day and watch
@PeteButtigieg
perfectly articulate why Republicans behave the way that they do, and how it harms people more than it could ever help.
So well said, Pete. Thank you.
This is the most inappropriate
#MemorialDay
comment that a
@POTUS
has ever made. Self-promotion on a day to remember the fallen, and wishing those remembering their deceased loved ones a “happy” holiday is appalling.

1. John McCain was a war hero.
2. John McCain is no longer around to answer smears and attacks.
3. It is therefore repugnant for Donald Trump to smear him, continuously and maliciously.
4. Trump must stop it, and apologize.
This is NOT hard to say,
@GOP
! So, say it.
Our new ad cuts to the chase, and pulls no punches: We’d never name bases after America’s enemies, like Osama bin Laden. Why does Donald Trump so desperately want to keep the names of other racist enemies on our Army bases?
Donald Trump called our fallen troops "suckers" and "losers."
They can't speak for themselves, but these 6 Gold Star families speak for our fallen.
Here is their POWERFUL message.

After five draft deferments Donald Trump has finally found a war he wants to fight - against the USPS!
If he had served, he'd know veterans rely on the USPS for voting, medication, and employment.
We take this VERY personally, and so should you.
#TrumpYouLose
Donald Trump complained about having to stand in the rain, to speak about the massacre in Pittsburgh, because it messed his hair up (more).
Today, he will skip honoring fallen American heroes of WWI, and stay in his hotel room, because of some rain.
#VeteransDayWeekend
Donald Trump didn't make a "mistake," yesterday.
Donald Trump wasn't "unprepared," yesterday.
Donald Trump wasn't just "overly sensitive" yesterday.
Donald Trump was briefed to not do what he did. He was warned not to do what he did. And he still went and did it.
#Tre45on
Sully Sullenberger stepped up in a critical moment and now he asks that we do the same. That we do what’s needed and what’s critical to save our nation from Trump's chaotic destruction.

Trump has spent 123 days golfing, or 1/5 of his term, at a cost to taxpayers of $72,181,957 - and still hasn't visited troops in a war zone.

@SpeakerPelosi
: Thank you for planning a visit to Afghanistan as one of your first trips, as Speaker, this Congress.
It is shameful that
@realDonaldTrump
has decided to not allow you to go and thank our troops.
Nonetheless, your intent to go is GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.
Retired Navy Captain Larry Seaquist is not mincing words, in support of Captain Brett Crozier, who was just relieved of command of the USS Teddy Roosevelt.
Omarosa being able to tape in the Situation Room isn't funny.
We understand the absurdity, but we implore people to not make it into a joke.
These kinds of security breaches in the WH can cost troops' lives, and
@POTUS
is ultimately responsible. This is on Trump.
Donald Trump cares so little about mass shootings that he says it happened in the wrong city ("Toledo").
What's worse, he seemingly read it off the teleprompter, meaning the entire White House didn't care enough to get it right, either.
Secretary Buttigieg is a Rhodes Scholar, Harvard and Oxford alum, and served in Afghanistan for the U.S. Navy as an intelligence officer.
If anyone is up for the task, it’s him. He’s, by far, extraordinarily qualified for his job.
We can’t say that for everyone in Washington.
Harry Reid has pancreatic cancer, and is towards the end of his life.
Harry Reid (100% DAV rating) was a friend and ally to veterans, in the Senate -- veterans who served, when Donald Trump was too chicken to.
Mr. Trump, with all due respect, for once, just shut up.
Donald Trump is showing more deference and respect to the Saudi Royals than he showed to Admiral McRaven -- the American who oversaw the mission to kill Osama bin Laden.
Donald Trump is betting that civilians will not realize how strongly those of us who served are opposed to pardoning people for war crimes. He wants people to think it is "pro-military."
If you served, PLEASE speak out. Your voices are always important, but especially right now.
As more than 150 National Guard in DC test positive for COVID,
@tedcruz
decides to put more at risk by grabbing a photo op maskless. Just when you thought you couldn’t despise a seditionist more.
Dinesh D'Souza pled guilty to violating campaign law; funneling cash to a GOP campaign.
Trump's pardon doesn't just signal Manafort & others that they'll get one, but foreign regimes that they too can break laws to help Trump.
We didn't serve to see our vote attacked this way.
Holy shit -- Trump dismisses a Navy SEAL who has been critical of him as "a Hillary Clinton fan & Obama backer" & criticizes Navy SEALs for not taking out bin Laden *sooner.*
"Frankly, wouldn't it have been nice if we had gotten Osama bin Laden a lot sooner than that?"
Unreal.
He gave the order, minutes before, to go to the Capitol.
He incited insurrection.
This is the very definition of sedition.
Donald Trump is an ACTIVE THREAT against the United States of America and MUST be removed. 🇺🇸

Retired Major General Paul Eaton says
@realDonaldTrump
's parade idea underscores his authoritarian tendencies, and that our military is not there to be "used and abused" to prop up his image.
VoteVets full statement on Trump's orders for a military parade.
✅ FACT: Troops have gotten a pay raise, every year, for over 30 years
✅ FACT:
@BarackObama
signed a 3.4% increase for 2010
❌ LIE: Donald Trump's claim that the recent 2.4% increase was troops' first raise in over 10 years
Why does Trump LIE to our troops, like this?
Today the House GOP voted to rip food away from the 1.5 million veteran and 23,000 active duty households who rely on SNAP benefits. We won’t forgot this November.
We have LONG called on Trump to visit troops in a combat zone, said it was important, and we are glad he finally got around to it. It is the right thing to do. But, make no mistake, he had to be shamed into doing so.
Read up on Robert Mueller, and share. In Vietnam, he led his platoon to rescue men who were pinned down, took an AK-47 round through the thigh, but held his position until the men safely retreated.
He was back in the jungle a month later.
FYI: VoteVets has submitted a Letter of Intent, with DC, to do a 5K around the National Mall, for Veterans Day 2019.
So, unless he kicks out a veterans race,
@realDonaldTrump
will not get his ego parade there, on that day next year, either.

Trump actively disparages the selfless heroism of our military.

Wow.

We oppose him BECAUSE we love America.
There has NEVER been a more disrespectful and ARROGANT president. How DARE a man who dodged the draft five times have the audacity to disparage those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
Get out of our house!
We are so sorry, Mrs. McCain. We very often clashed with
@SenJohnMcCain
on policy, but always honored his service and sacrifice, and our hearts are with you and your family. This "joke" made about your husband was putrid and sick.
Tell everyone you know: Mexico’s not paying for a thing.

is now stealing from troops and military families to fund his racist, ineffective wall.

He suffered a traumatic brain injury, when reporting about our troops in Iraq.
He is a reporter, and not the "enemy of the people."
MANY other journalists have sacrificed, even died, to report to you. Add one you'd like to honor.

This is a political stunt. These troops legally cannot do anything other than logistics support.
Gross misuse of our military, taking them away from exercises and work meant to truly defend America.
Media must cover this as the ridiculous, wasteful stunt that it is.
Donald Trump refuses to lower flag, for John McCain.
As we said yesterday, Donald Trump is a pathetic, thin-skinned, self-centered, low-class, petty coward.
