We are launching a billboard ad campaign across NC later in March with two simple messages!:
-Support our NATO allies
-Spend money on veteran’s healthcare at home instead of on the war in Iran
Could you please chip in today to help grow this campaign?: secure.everyaction.com/tdDFp…
We hear a lot from our friends stuck in Pakistan.
Our update on Monday is going to talk about why you’re not hearing a lot of specific advocacy about their plight but today we wanted to lay out how we got to this point.

BREAKING: Trump says a deal with Iran is scheduled to be signed tomorrow.
“Immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL.”
The president says the agreement will permanently prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and described it as the exact opposite of the Obama-era nuclear deal.
Trump also said no money will exchange hands under the agreement and warned that if the process falls apart, the U.S. has “the ultimate alternative.”
CNN just exposed it: the Pentagon told America the USS Gerald R. Ford fire was "no big deal." The reality? The fire-suppression system FAILED. Sailors fought the blaze for 30 HOURS. 600 lost their bunks. Nearly 600 toilets were broken the ENTIRE deployment. And it's not just the Ford. EVERY casualty number from this Iran war has been downplayed first, corrected later. It’s part of a deception strategy that has caused America to lose trust in the civilian leadership of its military. Retired Commander and VFRL President, Bobby Jones, breaks down why this matters. @MeidasTouch@ValorMediaNetm.youtube.com/watch?v=8LMJdC…

7 months to see a VA psychologist.
The @SecVetAffairs response: cut more providers.
You cannot fix a staffing crisis by firing staff.
This is Project 2025 in action.

ALT Yellow poster with five stars above bold blue text: "I waited seven months to see a VA psychologist. We cannot fire more providers when we don’t have enough anyway!" At the bottom, it states, "- Common Defense Member in California." An emblem and "Not For Sale" label are in the lower corner.
Asked Friday about 2018 vote in the 50-48 confirmation of Kavanaugh, @SenatorCollins reiterated her position, expressed in an interview w/me on Feb. 10, when she officially launched campaign: “I do not regret that vote.”

Thank you to over 150,000 Mainers for your support.
Together we will defeat Susan Collins and take back this Senate seat for the working people of Maine.
I get asked a lot what races are worth donating to. The honest answer is I think most political donations are a waste & campaigns piss away astonishing amounts of resources.
Today’s newsletter offers a skeptics list of races worth supporting thebulwark.com/p/the-democra…
Cain: You have to talk about Platner’s policies, the way he would affect people's lives. Like higher taxes on billionaires…. He preaches universal healthcare.
Maine veterans brought 168 lunchboxes to Susan Collins' door. One for each schoolgirl killed in the Minab school bombing. She was forced to go on record.
That is what organizing looks like.
Thank you @VeteransForPeace.
No more forever wars.
