Disagree with your Justin Steele take this morning. If he is ready, he stays on team. This team can win it all, Steele is a gamer - he stays. @MLBBruceLevine

Really guys? Misiorowski has some of the greatest stuff we've ever seen. But pump the brakes. Fernando, Dwight Gooden and Kerry Wood were great early in their careers too. @BallgameScout

I strongly oppose reducing future veterans’ benefits to help pay for bad legislation. Those who served should not become a funding source when Congress wants to balance the cost of policy choices. Veterans’ compensation must be protected. #VA #VFW #Veterans #VeteransPolicy
The good simply DOES NOT outweigh the bad when it comes to the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act. The bill would cut up to $57 billion in future disability compensation for 1.5 million veterans but provides only $7.9 billion in new VA benefits, just 14%. That’s a terrible deal for disabled veterans! DAV rejects the idea that Congress must strip benefits from one group of veterans to “pay for” new benefits for another. Call the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and tell your Representative to vote “NO” on H.R. 9237, the Take Care of America's Veterans Act.

The VA lost about 700 social workers and 500 psychologists and psychiatrists over the course of 2025 — a significant change for an agency that was adding mental health staffers nearly every month leading up to Trump’s return to office. propublica.org/article/veter…

Traumatic brain injuries are quickly emerging as the signature wound of the U.S. war with Iran so far, echoing a pattern of post-9/11 wars, according to a U.S. official. abcnews.link/wdPn3iE

VA OIG data shows fraud is a tiny fraction of claims. Well under 1%. Not all injuries are visible. TBI, burn pit exposure, PTSD, GI issues. Veterans live with these every day. Quit asking service members to go to war, then turn your back when they need help.

Love seeing @RGIII go after a spot on Team USA flag football for the 2028 Olympics 🇺🇸🏈 FF is different than the NFL, but you can’t help but root for someone chasing it at this level. Nothing but respect. #FlagFootball

Trying to update my @LinkedIn page, and the "View As" feature is no longer there. I get that there may not be one external view anymore, but there needs to be a way to see how I look professionally - or what is the point of crafting a meaningful page? @LinkedInHelp

This is right on. More on @indy_americans today.
“The latest White House post is… disgusting & despicable” War is not a sport, & it’s certainly not a comedy. I’ve been asked how I felt about being included in a post from the White House using NFL hits as some sort of war highlight film. Truthfully, I don’t feel rage, but embarrassment. I’m also saddened for the families whose loved ones are serving this country. We have lost all integrity, decorum, & character. We aren’t led by a public servant, but a reality star. This is just the latest example of who our leadership is. @ThePivot clips on @youtube. #ThePivot #WhiteHouse #NotSports #NotComedy

Spend an afternoon with a Gold Star child or an operator who lost 24 friends in combat and watch how fast the war memes stop being funny. Really gross stuff.

DAV is extremely disappointed and alarmed by VA’s decision to issue an Interim Final Rule today that could potentially reduce disability compensation for millions of disabled veterans. The new regulation would allow VA to reduce disability compensation ratings for veterans who take medications to control their conditions or reduce their symptoms. The rule—which disregards clear decisions from the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, Jones v. Shinseki, 26 Vet. App. 56 (2012) & Ingram v. Collins, 38 Vet. App. 130 (2025)—was developed and issued in a closed and unnecessarily expedited process that effectively shut out veterans from providing any meaningful input. It is unclear if and how VA is implementing this dramatic change and how it will impact the more than 6 million veterans currently receiving disability compensation, most of whom are taking at least one medication. dav.org/learn-more/news/2026…
