Responding to @ajc’s editor, CVA’s newest grassroots engagement director, @Katie_CVA_GA, challenges the claim that @DeptVetAffairs staff shortages are the sole reason for long wait times; she explains how a lack of choices in veterans’ care hurts VA patients.

"Unacceptable. Our service members should NEVER be used as political pawns." Military families deserve better — not games in Washington! #SupportOurTroops 🇺🇸 #Veterans
Congress was this close to letting our active-duty troops go without pay. That’s unacceptable. Our service members should NEVER be used as political pawns to pass their agenda. Here’s @JohnVickFL on Congress’s failure to stand by military families:

Dysfunction DC!
Breaking: The Senate just failed our troops, again. Most @SenateDems voted to block the annual defense appropriations bill, which would ensure our active service members receive their pay and keep them out of political crosshairs.

ICYMI: Chairman @RepBost joined @SpeakerJohnson @SteveScalise @GOPMajorityWhip and @HouseGOP Chair @RepLisaMcClain to talk about how the Democrat shutdown affects veterans and their families’ day to day lives. 15 days later, it’s time for Democrats to stop the political theater

The realization that you need mental health treatment can be difficult for some to make. As mental health counselor Kari Russo explains to CVA, accessing the care proves to be another challenge. https://t.co/dh8UjI1cGb

Endless conflicts that serve no strategic U.S. interests. 🙅 Foreign policy that prevents conflict rather than creating it. ✅ The early 2000s are over, and hawkish foreign policy should be, too. Here is a better alternative that saves American lives and taxpayer dollars.

Truly a historic moment!
Peace in the Middle East CAN be achieved through negotiation and diplomacy, not arms and munitions. This was shown through the monumental peace deal with Israel and Gaza, brokered by the Trump administration, which CVA applauds.

Happy Birthday to the best air cover, naval gunfire, transport and medical support provider ever.
For 250 years, the Navy’s honor, commitment, and courage have made it the most formidable naval force on Earth. From sea to sky, it’s stood for America every step of the way. Here’s to the next 250 years of naval superiority! 🌊 Semper Fortis! 💪
