RM @RepMarkTakano's discharge petition is five signatures away from forcing a clean vote on the Major Richard Star Act in the House. To prevent that from happening, Republicans introduced a new package to distract and delay a vote on the overdue benefits for combat veterans. 🔗: democrats-veterans.house.gov…

If you put your life on the line for our country, you deserve every penny of the benefits you earned. But right now, a Washington loophole is taxing our wounded warriors out of their retirement pay. That’s why I’m fighting to force a vote on the Major Richard Star Act, which would end this “wounded warrior tax” once and for all.

The costs of war include caring for our veterans. I pushed Sec. Hegseth to pledge his support for the Major Richard Star Act—vital legislation to eliminate the wounded warrior tax.

Nolan Ryan threw it faster!!!! But this guy is giving me Nolan/Randy Johnson Vibes!!!!

Miz FIGHTS to stay in. Stares down Pat Murphy. And Ks the next two hitters to finish the 7th.

Sign the Discharge Petition for the #RichardStarAct and stop deflecting and "promising" future votes.... it's been 6 years of "don't worry, we'll vote on it"

.@RepDonBacon @DonJBacon is saying, “trust the Chairman, and if he fails, I can still sign discharge later.” @RepBost That sounds reasonable, but strategically it is weak for veterans. Why it is not good: 1. “Later” is how momentum dies. H.Res. 1247 is already public, active, and close. Waiting gives leadership time to cool pressure, split the coalition, and slow the final signatures. 2. A Chairman promise is not a House vote. Bacon is asking veterans to trade a public signature for a private process. The discharge petition is countable. A promise is not. 3. If the Chairman really supports it, Bacon signing should help, not hurt. A discharge signature does not stop committee action. It adds leverage. If leadership is serious, pressure helps them move faster. 4. The Senate excuse is a trap. Bacon says the Senate may ignore discharge. Fine. But the Senate can also ignore a committee promise. The difference is the discharge petition forces the House to act publicly first. 5. Bacon’s role makes this worse. He is not just any member. His own bio says he is a retired Air Force Brigadier General, has served on HASC since 2017, chaired the Military Quality of Life Panel, and was named chair of the HASC Cyber, Information Technologies, and Innovation Subcommittee. He knows exactly how leverage works in Congress. 6. No public commitment to bring this to a vote from the chairman @RepDonBacon is mentioning as its not on the calendar to be voted on. 7. We know of the discussions to water the bill down from what the discharge petition is pushing. Don Bacon says he can always sign later. Combat injured veterans have already waited years. Later is not leadership. Later is the delay. Sign H.Res. 1247 now. 54,000 combat injured veterans have waited long enough. Bacon signed a discharge petition for Ukraine. Now he wants wounded American veterans to trust a chairman promise and wait. Sign H.Res. 1247 now.

Jeff Bezos says taxing people who make around $50,000 a year is “absurd” and thinks many lower-income Americans shouldn’t pay any federal income tax. He cited examples like an Amazon employee earning $50,000 and a nurse earning $75,000, saying the money they send to Washington would do more good in their own pockets. Bezos noted that the bottom half of taxpayers account for only a small portion of federal income tax revenue, arguing that cutting their tax bill to zero would have little impact on government finances but could greatly help working families.

Not to mention Barkley was the undeniable Most Valuable Player of the best team ever assembled past or future..... Barkley was 100% right, Green has always been a role player and CB34 was always the best player on his team and Best Player on the floor 99% of the time...

You’re a joke and still don’t get it, @Money23Green! 😂😂😂

The fact that Barkley just sat there and took it knowing he could destroy him with ONE sentence says everything about who the real legend in that room was. 👑

Wait till someone tells #Draymond Green that even as a "broke down old man" #Barkley had 16.5 pts and 12.2 rebs a game over his 4 years with the Rockets which Green has never even DREAMED of sniffing his whole career👑👑👑 (Green's BEST year was 14pts/9.5reb) 🤣😂🤡😆🤡

Um, Chucks worst season of his career as an old man had better stats than Green's BEST season of his career... Including his injuries he averaged 16.5 Pts and 12.2 Rebounds over his four years with the Rockets.... Draymond Green's BEST season with 14 pts & 9.5 reb per game🤣

Charles Barkley is the highest scorer on the dream team where Mike, Larry, and Magic also played. Draymond wouls not even qualify as the water boy on that team.

“Draymond's a good player… but we're NOT on the same level” - Charles Barkley 👀
