The Department of Veterans Affairs Starts Early Review of Claims for Veterans With Terminal Illnesses Under the PACT Act
The VA announced that it would move up processing for dying veterans immediately.
In addition to terminally ill veterans, anyone with cancer; experiencing homelessness; older than 85; experiencing financial hardship; or a Medal of Honor or Purple Heart recipient will have processing priority.

Ralph Norman needs to be charged with sedition and to serve the full 20 years in prison. #GOPSedition #RaphNorman #WhySCCantHaveNiceThings
@jmovs @Mention @mattblaze How do you add a link to the toot?
Dozens of GOP elected officials were plotting a violent coup d'etat and the fact that they haven't been rounded up and prosecuted like the Germans did with their far-right plotters is an indictment of our intel and law enforcement agencies.
