We break down how Newsom has successfully taken the gloves off against Trump, why democrats are getting Gaza wrong, and how leadership is fumbling chances to support rising voices like Zohran Mamdani.

Plus: the looming threat of abortion rights being stripped from female veterans through the VA, and Luke’s “Get Fucked” segment on Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters—who wants teachers to take loyalty tests while his state ranks near the bottom in education.

Speak from your own experience, your own values, your own understanding of what this country owes its veterans.

The most effective comments include your personal or professional perspective, identify how this rule would affect you or your community, and offer a specific recommendation or concern.

If you're a veteran, spouse, caregiver, or healthcare provider, your real-life experience is especially important for regulators to hear. Do not copy and paste someone else’s words. Anti-choice extremists are already doing that. We’re better than that. The government weighs unique, substantive comments more heavily. Speak in your own voice.
