DrWeb$200 mill on a gold ballroom while Vets lose their health care – VoteVets.org<blockquote>Paul, Travis here.You ever see something that instantly gets under your skin?I’ll admit, it’s happening to me a lot more than usual this year. And yesterday, something happened that really, really set me off.Trump announced he’s putting in a $200 million gilded ballroom at the White House. Yeah, they’re blowing $200 million on a big room for people to come and bow before Trump.<a href="https://act.votevets.org/go/2927?c0=vv-pac-em-august25.hEpWPc&refcode=em250804-1-120&t=1&akid=34499%2E583096%2EneR3HR" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a>That’s after Trump already paved over Jackie Kennedy’s Rose Garden. After he extorted Qatar for a $400 million jet, which is gonna cost $1 billion to get up to code, that he’s going to take personal possession of after he leaves office. After he threw himself a birthday parade at the cost of $45 million at minimum. After he’s taken something like 100 trips to his own golf courses on taxpayer dime — way more already than at this point in his first term.Napkin math, that’s probably pushing $2 billion right there. And we’re not even getting into his crypto schemes and the global “deals” funnelling billions of dollars into his bank account.You already know what’s happening back in the real world. The VA’s lost thousands of doctors, nurses, researchers, therapists, and caregivers. He’s selling off public lands to the highest bidder. He’s kicking literally hundreds of millions of people off their health care when they’re already struggling to get by. People can’t afford basic necessities because of his tariffs.Trump can afford to blow $200 million on a golden ballroom at the White House but he can’t afford to help Veterans, the elderly, sick and hungry kids.This is Marie Antoinette on steroids.But that’s why I’m proud I get to work at VoteVets. It’s my job to find and build networks of support for thousands of Veterans around the country who decided to take a really tough step into public service. The only way we get to the other side of this is if people like them continue stepping up to put the country before themselves.It’s not easy. It takes tons of work, and time away from your family and friends. You don’t get days off. It shouldn’t be this tough, but that’s the world we live in right now.I’m proud of all of them. And I’m just so grateful I get to help them out.The reality though, is that this work isn’t cheap. And sometimes it requires us making tough asks of the people who support us. Today is one of those days.<a href="https://act.votevets.org/go/2927?c0=vv-pac-em-august25.hEpWPc&refcode=em250804-1-120&t=2&akid=34499%2E583096%2EneR3HR" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">So, I’m humbly asking you: Can you make a donation to VoteVets today and help us lay the groundwork for taking back the House and the Senate next year? It’s our only shot at stopping Trump, and we’ve got to start now if we’re gonna have any chance. </a>Thanks so much for the help.TravisSee Web Site: <a href="https://votevets.org" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://votevets.org</a> (message was email)</blockquote> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/america/" target="_blank">#America</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/donald-trump/" target="_blank">#DonaldTrump</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/health/" target="_blank">#Health</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/history/" target="_blank">#History</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/libraries/" target="_blank">#Libraries</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/library-of-congress/" target="_blank">#LibraryOfCongress</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/politics/" target="_blank">#Politics</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/resistance/" target="_blank">#Resistance</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/science/" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/technology/" target="_blank">#Technology</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/trump/" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/trump-administration/" target="_blank">#TrumpAdministration</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/u-s-house/" target="_blank">#USHouse</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/u-s-senate/" target="_blank">#USSenate</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/united-states/" target="_blank">#UnitedStates</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/veterans/" target="_blank">#Veterans</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/veterans-organization/" target="_blank">#VeteransOrganization</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/votevets/" target="_blank">#VoteVets</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/votevets-org/" target="_blank">#VoteVetsOrg</a>
