The House just passed the Major Richard Star Act, 392–18.

Veterans forced this clean vote with a discharge petition. Now the Senate must end the wounded veteran tax for ~54K combat-injured vets.

No cuts to other veterans’ benefits. No more delays.

Rep. Mike Bost and Republicans just deceitfully forced through TCAVA with a voice vote while key opposition voices were off the House floor. That's why @RepBost is the inaugural winner of our “Blue Falcon” award. TCAVA fails America’s current and future veterans.

A stylized award announcement featuring the "Blue Falcon Award" with an illustrated falcon in the center, surrounded by gold laurel branches. Text reads: "Congratulations Rep Mike Bost on your Blue Falcon Award. Awarded for actions taken by a veteran against other veterans." The bottom states "Awarded by Common Defense." The background is a gradient of blue shades.

A person in a suit holds a trophy next to two others. They're standing in an office with framed pictures and documents on the wall. There is a gift bag with tissue paper in front of them.

Who leaked Hegseth’s speech to Massie?

Aaron Rupar Verified account @atrupar 3d

Massie: "I hope Hegseth addresses the 8 articles of impeachment, and doesn‘t get up and misquote the Bible in Quentin Tarantino fashion and do some pull-ups and call everybody fat and gay. I may have just given you half his speech, I don't know."

We agree. Impeach, remove, and prosecute Pete Hegseth.
