Don’t believe the spin from politicians like @SpeakerPelosi. @DeptVetAffairs is serving Veterans better under President Trump. Wait times and backlogs are down, and VA has opened more than a dozen new health care clinics this year!.
Trump's DOGE and cruel budget cut thousands of VA jobs and he plans to terminate VA union contracts. House Republicans aim to extract profits from veterans' health care. Democrats are fighting back to strengthen the VA and protect the benefits our veterans have earned.

Astronaut and Navy Veteran Jim Lovell was a legend, plain and simple. I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet him last month. Please join me in mourning his loss and praying for his loved ones.
Yesterday, I was honored to meet one of my personal heroes, Navy Veteran and astronaut Jim Lovell. Jim’s remarkable leadership during the historic Apollo 13 mission is an inspiration to all!

This is a huge win for those who have worn the uniform. It means VA staff can do what’s right for Veterans without having to cater to union bosses’ demands.
This week, Trump shredded collective bargaining agreements for over 400,000 VA workers. This move will hurt workers, many of whom are veterans themselves, and will put veteran care at risk. @SecVetAffairs must reverse course.

Veterans come first at VA, and I don’t care if that makes the union bosses “outraged”.
