A green-card holder, Park self-deported to #SouthKorea. His removal order was the result of charges related to drug possession & failure to appear in court from over 15yrs ago — offenses, he said (tragically, like many thousands of combat #vets, esp Viet Nam era) stemmed from yrs of untreated #PTSD.
“More pets being put down due to rising vet bills.” The ugly side of private equity #Capitalism. #Vets
#Trump's VA cut a program that's saving vets' homes. Even #Republicans have questions

"Henry was hoping to get help from the VA Servicing Purchase program, or VASP. In just the past year, according to the #VA, it has helped more than 33,000 #veterans and servicemembers who got behind on their loans by giving them a new, low-interest-rate mortgage.
But last month, out of fear of the potential cost, the VA abruptly did away with this safety net. It was the latest development in a VA #mortgage saga that has whiplashed veterans between various enacted and cancelled programs and left thousands in fear of losing their homes. There are about 80,000 #vets in the U.S. behind on their mortgages and heading toward #foreclosure, according to data from ICE Mortgage Technology."

For Trump's parade, "The Army recently asked the Vietnam Veterans of America chapter in Northern Virginia if it would provide 25 veterans to sit in the official reviewing stand. The group said no." https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/us/politics/los-angeles-military-parade-trump.html

Y'all rock, Viet Nam Vets of Northern Virginia!
From @chuckmodi1 on Dead 13 minutes ago:
NOW: After 50-60 veterans are arrested at the Capitol, about 30 veterans wait outside to provide jail support as they wait sit for their possible release tonite.

Health tip
Rabbits are masters at hiding illness. Here’s what to look out for!
• Not eating or pooping
• Sitting hunched up
• Runny nose or eyes
• Lethargy or hiding more than usual
Tip: If in doubt—call a rabbit-savvy vet ASAP.
If you, or your relatives - especially older relatives, had to get a new phone with the discontinuation of 3G networks in Australia - please remember to update your number with your pet's registration info.
Vets are already finding increasing numbers of lost animals with out of service mobile numbers when they scan microchips.
The #VA, serving some of America’s most vulnerable citizens, is set to lose 83K WKRs.
Morale is plummeting inside the VA as 10s of 1000s of WKRs prepare for deep staffing cuts, raising alarms among staffers, vets & advocates *fear the reductions would severely damage care & benefits for Ms of the US' former service members.
Trump doesn't respect #Vets, POC, #Women, #disabled #LGTBQ ppl, #immigrants...
Amplify: #TrumpRegime's betrayal, & the carnage it's enacting.

From @bfriedmandc on :
Ugly, ugly stuff. They're collapsing the Department of Veterans Affairs and the largest integrated healthcare system in America.
