At my @HomewoodSuites in downtown Chicago, apparently someone broke thick hotel glass tens of stories up & something hit a car parked across the street. A woman came out on an EMT cart with a very bloody hand right when I walked up, then they shut down the street. You have to

Being in a disaster area, while extremely tragic, also makes you proud of your country. Individuals and businesses from far-away states have been here to help in the aftermath. “E Pluribus Unum.” Out of many, one. #Kerrville #TexasFloods #HillCountryStrong.

TX business Grindhead Coffee has been outside @AmericanLegion post 208 all week, providing much-needed caffeine for first responders and flood victims all week. Officers Nieronow and De La Cruz offer their endorsement: “They have really good coffee!” @TexasDPS1 . #Kerrville

En route to Kerrville w/ @AmericanLegion National Commander, I insisted we stop at @Whataburger so he could experience what I call a “honey butter chicken blessing.”. Whataburger has donated $100k (and tons of food) to local relief orgs.

Visiting with National Commander Jim LaCoursiere today to lend assistance.
Texas Post 208 serving as relief center for 1st responders following #Kerrville flooding. And they're getting support from posts nationwide - which has left one Auxiliary unit member “humbled by their outreach and their love.” #TexasFloods

Met with an association for a specific group of providers that prefer VA to private sector work because their caseload was significantly lighter in former. Some VA facilities are understaffed, yes. Some are overstaffed. That’s why infrastructure reform and updated staffing.
How do you claim to care for veterans while gutting the agency that cares for them?. The VA is already understaffed and overwhelmed and this decision will devastate veterans who depend on timely care and benefits. Veterans deserve better than what this admin has to offer.
