A military spouse was detained by ICE after she showed up to a Navy base in Texas to pick up her family’s military ID cards.
Her name is Giovanna Perez. She’s lived in this country since she was six years old, has four kids, and no criminal record. Her husband, Pedro, enlisted in the Army and applied for a program built to protect the families of people in uniform. That very application appears to have been used to find her. How can we expect Americans to serve, knowing their own government might hunt down the people they love most?

Brigadier General Steve Anderson went on the air to blast Pete Hegseth for his handling of the Pentagon, and he’s right. Hegseth has purged 20% of the military’s generals and admirals during an active war.
You don’t fire your most experienced leaders in the middle of a fight and call it reform. The military is worse off today than it was eight months ago, and Hegseth is the reason why.

JD Vance was confronted by a Gold Star husband, and his response will make your blood boil.
Joey Amor’s wife, Master Sgt. Nicole Amor, was one of six service members killed in the Port Shuaiba drone attack on March 1, 2026, the first American casualties of the Iran war. He looked the Vice President in the eye and asked how the administration would hold leaders accountable for the fundamental failures that got his wife killed.
Vance’s answer? “This is literally the first time I’ve heard of this.” Either the Vice President is ignorant, or he doesn’t know who made the ultimate sacrifice in his and Trump’s name. Either way it's a disgrace and we are furious.

Our newest substack piece features a compelling breakdown from US. Army Major General Paul Eaton (Ret.) connecting the dots between a White House deal for Russian diesel, sudden blackouts in Ukraine's frontline defenses, and the mounting risks to American troops abroad. Eaton lays out how undermining an ally to shave a few cents off fuel prices ahead of an election trades long-term national security and service members' lives for political survival. It's an essential read for what’s truly at stake this November.

Ukraine’s battlefield internet went dark without warning and the White House is to blame.
Days ago, in a sorry attempt to bring down the fuel prices caused by his own war with Iran, Trump cut a deal with Putin for Russian diesel. Now, right on cue, America is quietly undercutting the one country holding the line against Russia. A Ukraine that can defend itself is what keeps Putin from a bigger war in Europe, the kind that ends with American troops on the front lines.

VoteVets is live in NC-01 for Don Davis. Voters in eastern North Carolina have a choice this November: they can elect a Veteran who’s lived in this community his entire life, or a DC millionaire who moved to the district just to run for Congress. Laurie Buckhout is in this race for herself, Don Davis is in it for North Carolinians. The choice couldn’t be any clearer.
Donald Trump joked that he “might have gone too far” in Iran because he bombed their leadership so much he “doesn’t know who the hell to deal with.”
That might be funny to him, but the Iranian regime has survived, they still control the Strait of Hormuz, and they’re stronger than they were before the war started. Donald Trump is living in a fantasy land.
VoteVets is up in Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District. Jen Kiggans has voted lockstep with Trump on everything from healthcare cuts, to tariffs, to the Iran war. Families are feeling every one of those votes at the gas pump and the grocery store. Kiggans has chosen Trump over her own constituents every time, and this November, her district will remember.

.@JDVance you’re either a liar or a moron (my money’s on both)
22 of our soldiers have been killed — including 6 who you left defenseless against an Iranian drone strike at Port Shuaiba.
And this is the first the VP is hearing about it?!
You are a stain on our country’s honor.
After just one week, the Trump administration has backed down from their plan to livestream Nidal Hasan's execution.
The move comes after VoteVets, Veterans and survivors of the Fort Hood shooting spoke out against the announcement, saying what should have been obvious from the start: America does not turn death into content, and we do not hand extremists free propaganda to recruit the next generation of terrorists.
Let this be a reminder than when Veterans raise their voice, people in power still have to listen. washingtonpost.com/national-…
