Honored to join @kimbrunhuber last night to discuss the national security implications of the EO suspending USRAP that brings #Afghan partners to the US. I appreciate the work @afghanevac and others are doing to raise awareness and honor our commitments.
"These are people who went on patrol with us... our lives depended on them. And now that their lives depend on us." ret-Col. @SteveMiska on Trump's order suspending the program that could strand thousands of Afghan allies approved to resettle in the US

Why is it when I get on Twitter for the first time in weeks, Elon Musk is in four of the top ten notifications in my feed? I don’t even follow this guy…. This is why Twitter has become less than helpful. I used to use it to curate my news content. That no longer seems feasible
In 2007, I helped an Iraqi family escape sectarian violence in Baghdad, chronicled in #BaghdadUndergroundRailroad published in 2021. The father had been targeted by Al Qaeda in Iraq and Jaysh al Mahdi militia, amongst others. a.co/d/cBZT6He
Today the oldest daughter graduated with her masters. She was extremely proud and had her third child recently as well. #service is a human endeavor. #AmericanDream
I’m looking forward to hearing @PhilKlay speak with @SecVetAffairs about his book Redeployment next week in the @DeptVetAffairs
Happy #VeteransDay2023 to all my brothers and sisters in arms.
Reading Of Boys and Men by @RichardvReeves and very much relate to his self-description as a “conscientious objector in the culture wars.” Agree. Take your toxic discourse out of our public square. #Civility matters. Reclaim the common ground.

When was the last time you reached out to a fellow Veteran? Just saying “hi” to check in can be beneficial to one’s health. It also creates a space for your buddy to ask for help. This National Buddy Check Week, learn about the @DeptVetAffairs' #TalkToTen: va.gov/initiatives/national-…
ALT Be A Buddy! Reach out to 10 Veterans. Check in today! National Buddy Check Week
Our @DeptVetAffairs callers are standing by for your questions and to help you apply for the healthcare you earned and deserve! Got benefits questions? They’ll refer you to our subject matter experts who can assist. #PACT #Veterans 🙌

#Veterans are often the first to help others, but it can be difficult for many to ask for help. If you know a Veteran who may be struggling with housing instability, encourage them to do for themselves what they’d do for others. Resources are available at VA.gov/REACH.

Suicide is a complex issue and no one policy or plan will end it. That’s why VA has awarded grants to $52.5 million community organizations that offer innovative suicide prevention programs and services.
View the full the list of grant recipients at MentalHealth.va.gov/ssgfox-g….

Are you a Veteran who deployed to a combat zone but never signed up for VA health care? If you left the military between 9/11/01 and 10/1/13, you should sign up now!
But act fast—the PACT Act special enrollment deadline is September 30. Apply now at: VA.gov/PACT.

Today we have the privilege of voting for those who will represent us. I’m worried that we have lost faith in this institution of our elections, and it’s one of the reasons I’m spending the day serving as an election official. Citizenship isn’t a spectator sport. @VettheVote
Proud of brothers and sisters in #VettheVote coalition. Service doesn’t stop! Here’s a guide to paid time off if you haven’t voted yet. @Vets4AmerIdeals @VettheVote @wetheveterans @1st_amend linkedin.com/feed/news/pto-t…
I’m not going to be home for #ElectionDay so I submitted my ballot in a drop box while rocking my #VettheVote T-shirt. @wetheveterans @1st_amend @VettheVote @Vets4AmerIdeals
