Mike Thompson says Congress defeated $60 cut to veterans disability benefits while administration seeks $73B for Iran war

Jul 21, 2026

The short video clip shows Congressman Mike Thompson stating that Congress defeated a bill cutting $60 from veterans disability benefits. He contrasts this with an administration request for $73 billion more to fund the war in Iran, calling the priorities backwards. Thompson argues injured veterans deserve the highest quality care and that if the administration will not fund it, it should stop creating new veterans. The segment is a direct partisan statement rather than a reported news piece.

Congressman Thompson commemorates John Lewis on sixth anniversary of death

Jul 17, 2026

The video is a brief remembrance posted by Congressman Mike Thompson on the sixth anniversary of John Lewis's death. It highlights Lewis's roles in the 1963 March on Washington, Bloody Sunday in Selma, and his decades in Congress while calling on Democrats to continue his work through 'good trouble.' Thompson draws on Lewis's documented history and invokes the phrase Lewis popularized. The piece relies on well-established public facts rather than new reporting or named sources beyond the congressman's own statement.
