    Once again, it is American service members and families who will bear the consequences of a president who treats the military as a first resort instead of a last resort. Congress must do its job as outlined in the Constitution and debate and vote on this war of choice.

    🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

    By overturning Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court has not only taken a wrecking ball to reproductive rights - it has taken a wrecking ball to military readiness. America will be less secure as a result. [🧵]

    Another MAGA congressional candidate caught lying about his service record… with his lies bolstered by ads paid for by the party. He did not serve in combat, did not earn a CAR. Utterly disrespectful to all who did. What is wrong with these guys?

    Question to my UCMJ legal eagles: If a military commander can tell their unit to stay away from certain bars & certain Facebook groups, could @dOd also require installations to turn off Tucker Carlson? We have a growing extremism problem in the US military and Carlson fuels it.

    UPDATE: It gets worse. The updated legislative language makes over 250 MILLION ACRES of public land available for sell-off.

    Blown away by the response to this. It’s clear that many are struggling with the same grief, anger, and loss within our communities. Thanks to all those who have shared or reached out. I hope we can find a way through this - for our own relationships and for our country.

    🧵1/ While America slept, House Republicans launched a sneak attack on our public lands—and veterans and military families should be outraged. Here’s what happened last night and why it matters: #KeepPublicLandsPublic

    🚨BREAKING: The backlash to the public lands sell-off has reached critical mass. Sen. Steve Daines now says he has the votes in the Senate to strip the sell-off language altogether. At least five House members are on the record opposing, enough to tank the bill in the House.

    You know better than most how personal it is. Thanks for all you do to empower others to have tough convos with people they love.

    I didn't serve my nation only to have a handful of ignorant senators strip me of my constitutional rights. I didn't serve my nation overseas only to be treated as less of a human here at home.
    THE SENATE has blocked on the abortion bill. 49-51

    You might’ve heard that Sen @BasedMikeLee is attempting to sell up to 3 million acres of public land and open the door for 250 million more to be sold off later. What you might not know: This is not a one-off. It’s a long game - and he’s been playing it for years. 🧵

    🚨Late on Friday night, Sen. Mike Lee quietly reintroduced - for the FOURTH time in just over 10 days - his public lands sell-off scheme. The new language would still force the sale of up to 1.2 million acres across 11 Western states. He is counting on you not noticing.

    The @DeptofDefense must take steps immediately to ensure ALL service members & their families have access to abortion. The military must institute & enforce directives that allow troops to access abortion no matter where they are stationed in a way that maintains their privacy.
