So, the Supreme Court has ruled that the administration's approach towards disability pay may not be correct?


OK, if I may ask... with all the problems that DOGE has claimed to resolve in the Veteran's Administration, how did this particular one seem to have fallen through the cracks.

Or, was DOGE all PR and no substance?

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
[Verse 1]
Bitter fish in crude oil sea
You don't have to bother me
You just have to join in on this song
Crawling people on your knees
Don't take this so seriously
You just have to hum it all day long

[Chorus]
To dine alone
To build a private zone
Or trigger a synapse
And free us from our traps

[Verse 2]
You won't see me turn my back
With my head against my stack
Spitting teeth and breaking open skin

Official ironmen, you are free
Champions officially
But you won't catch me on an open chin
...
