Rep. Sara Jacobs: FY 2025 NDAA Will Undermine Military Recruitment

Glad to join @Sdmac_official for their 2024 Military Economic Impact Report rollout highlighting the importance of lowering costs for military families and how San Diego is driving innovation in defense and technology. I will keep prioritizing these important issues in Congress.December 11, 2024 / Congresswoman Sarah Jacobs / Media CenterPress Releases - Rep. Sara Jacobs (CA-51) released the following statement after voting against the FY 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which included a gender-affirming care ban for dependents. If passed into law, this would mark the first time that Congress put anti-LGBTQ+ provisions into statute since Don't Ask, Don't Tell and the Defense of Marriage Act in the 1990s. This year’s NDAA also failed to include Rep. Jacobs’ bipartisan and bicameral provision to expand TRICARE coverage of IVF and other assisted reproductive technology to service members and their spouses.

How will Project 2025 influence the remilitarization of American Youth?

2025 Classroom12/21/2024 / NNOMY - Project 2025 is an authoritarian policy playbook to take over the federal government and enact a radical, far-right agenda that strips Americans of their rights and their ability to have a say in government or gain a foothold in the nation’s middle class. The plan consolidates power in the presidency by gutting the civil service; overruling the long-standing independence of government agencies; weaponizing the Department of Justice; and abolishing government agencies, such as the Department of Education, that support the public interest.1

Project 2025 is a comprehensive policy agenda proposed by a coalition of conservative organizations. It aims to reshape federal government policies across multiple sectors, including education, healthcare, and civil rights2. One of the concerns raised by critics is that Project 2025 could lead to the remilitarization of American youth by promoting policies that increase military recruitment and influence in schools2.

 

Seeking Relief From Brain Injury, Some Veterans Turn to Psychedelics

Unable to find effective treatments at home, veterans with brain-injury symptoms are going abroad for psychedelics like ibogaine that are illegal in the U.S.

 

A veteran wore an eye cover and headphones during an ibogaine therapy retreat at a clinic near Tijuana, Mexico, in July.

 

Dec. 16, 2024 / Dave Philipps / New York Times -  A veteran wore an eye cover and headphones during an ibogaine therapy retreat at a clinic near Tijuana, Mexico, in July.

A van full of U.S. Special Operations veterans crossed the border into Mexico on a sunny day in July to execute a mission that, even to them, sounded pretty far out.

Over a period of 48 hours, they planned to swallow a psychedelic extract from the bark of a West African shrub, fall into a void of dark hallucinations and then have their consciousness shattered by smoking the poison of a desert toad.
