For the 18-year-old who decides to enlist. For families who pray every night their loved ones come home. For troops stationed thousands of miles away. For Lima Company. Let’s elect leaders who don’t just respect our service, but revere it.

NEW A dozen Republican White House lawyers who served in the administrations of then-Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush are endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris. “We endorse Kamala Harris and support her election as President because we believe that returning former President Trump to office would threaten American democracy and undermine the rule of law in our country," the lawyers wrote in a letter that the signatories shared first with Fox News Digital. foxnews.com/politics/white-h… #RepublicansForHarris

Fmr. GOP Rep. Barbara Comstock: I will be voting for Vice President Harris. I'm a grandmother to four granddaughters. The Republican ticket is the most misogynist ticket we've ever had. It's not something my party should accept. It’s time to turn the page

Woah. It’s a BIG deal for the nation’s oldest and consistently apolitical veteran service organization to publish this statement. Why? 1) They wouldn’t issue this without first hearing similar feedback from their members. 2) Yes they’re a nonprofit, but most VSOs place MASSIVE weight staying apolitical and practice message discipline so they can work with Rs and Ds to advance their policy agenda through Congress and the WH.
"These asinine comments not only diminish the significance of our nation’s highest award for valor, but also crassly characterizes the sacrifices of those who have risked their lives above and beyond the call of duty." - VFW National Commander Al Lipphardt bit.ly/3AtiAvm

Our statement on Donald Trump dishonoring America's greatest heroes, again
Trump: We gave her the Presidential Medal of Freedom. It’s much better than the Congressional Medal of Honor because soldiers get the Congressional. And they’re in very bad shape because they've been hit so many times by bullets or they're dead. She gets it and she's a healthy, beautiful woman. And they’re rated equal

NEW for @politico — Those debating whether Tim Walz “abandoned” his unit before an Iraq deployment largely don’t understand the challenges of part-time military service. (Or how military retirement works.) But I do. And I think he made the right call. ⬇️ politico.com/news/magazine/2…

Walz' reaction to attacks on his National Guard record: "I am damn proud of my service to this country. I firmly believe you should never denigrate another person’s service record."

People are people and sometimes we change our names and addresses… If you’re registered to vote and changed your legal name or moved in-state or out of state since the last election, you need to update your voter registration before your state’s registration deadline 💙✨

J.D. Vance claimed Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz retired from the military to avoid deploying to Iraq. Walz retired to run for Congress before his unit received official deployment orders, records and news reports show. politifact.com/factchecks/20…

Mesa, AZ Republican Mayor John Giles: I do not recognize my party. I have something to say to those of us who are in the middle: You don’t owe a damn thing to that party. You don’t owe anything to a party that is out of touch and hell-bent on taking us backward. And by all means, you owe no loyalty to a candidate who is morally and ethically bankrupt. In the spirit of the great Senator John McCain, please join me in putting country over party and stopping Donald Trump.

There are plenty of reasons to criticize Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, but his military record isn’t a good reason to oppose his candidacy. on.wsj.com/3SIlGlk

Gov. @Tim_Walz: If it was up to JD Vance, I wouldn't have a family because of IVF. Democrats are investing in prenatal care. We're the ones that are for universal pre-K. We're the ones that are providing school meals. I'm not gonna back down one bit on this whole family values thing. We're making it more affordable to have children by having paid family and medical leave. Where is JD Vance's program?

LD - with all due respect brother, I always tell the truth - and I don’t criticize my brother & sister Veterans’ service whether they are a Democrat or Republican. I honor and respect JD Vance’s service and have never criticized his. Tim Walz had to leave his job, his wife and young kids, and his community in Minnesota when our nation, our Army asked him to deploy overseas after 9/11 for Operation Enduring Freedom. The Army deployed him and his Artillery Battalion to Italy/Turkey from 2003-2004. He served for 24 years honorably and with distinction. We can disagree politically all day, but no need to wrongfully attack people who disagree with you politically - especially those who are less than the 1% who’ve answered our nation’s call during the longest wars in American history.
