House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs Democrats
@democrats-veterans.house.gov
Conditions at West LA are unacceptable, and frankly, dangerous. Veterans’ lives are at real risk. We must address the root causes of the problems at West LA, or we will fail the thousands of veterans who should be able to call the National Soldiers’ Home their home.

In case it wasn't clear, Mr. President, veterans don't want a vanity arch that will block the view of Arlington National Cemetery. We read their concerns. You should, too.

Veterans have made it clear that they don't want this guardianship program, and we stand with them. Guardianship would strip veterans of their autonomy, taking away their right to decide when and how they receive care. Veterans did not fight for our freedom only to have their own taken away.
The House Committee on Veterans' Affairs exists to hold VA accountable and deliver results for those who served—our nation's veterans. The mission is the veteran, and we must not lose sight of that.
"...$30 billion so far on a war of choice, $1 billion on ballrooms & reflecting pools, a trillion or more on the DoD, tax cuts for the wealthy…. And yet, when it is time to honor our promise to servicemembers, veterans & their families, we suddenly hear cries of poverty." @repmarktakano.bsky.social
Couldn't agree more, @deluzio.house.gov. VA shouldn't be dismantled, it should be strengthened. Privatization just shifts costs onto veterans and risks access to care. When every dollar counts for groceries, gas, & daily necessities, veterans can't afford more expenses. Veterans deserve better.
Tonight, Senators will vote to uphold or overturn Trump's cruel and dangerous ban on abortion care and counseling for veterans who receive their healthcare through VA. They must vote to restore veterans' rights.
Veterans turn to the Veterans Readiness and Employment program when they're trying to rebuild their futures. They want stability and independence. They shouldn't face additional delays in achieving the future they dream of. We must improve and streamline the VR&E program today.
All "planning" for West LA VA has been done behind closed doors; veterans and the community weren't allowed to weigh in, and individuals working on the West LA project were required to sign NDAs. This VA is set on keeping information from the public. That's because they don't have a plan.
Secretary Collins claims wait times are down, but a recent study from @vetvoicefoundation.bsky.social shows the opposite across 21 VA medical centers. 71% had increased wait times. Listen to the full @npr.org report here: www.npr.org/transcripts/...
H.R 6047 increases benefits for veterans and survivors, but has vets pay for it by imposing fees on VA home loans. 10K vets were forced into foreclosure at Trump's hands. H.R 6047 would only worsen the crisis. Republicans and Rep. Barrett are harming veterans who just want to stay in their homes.
Placing veterans in guardianships as a policy response to a housing challenge makes it far less likely that veterans will come to seek care. Guardianships are extremely difficult to get out of, as Eric points out; it took Britney Spears 7 years to get out of hers. How long will it take a veteran?

This is so bad. Who else is sick and tired of Donald Trump’s waste, fraud, and abuse? He doesn’t give a shit about anybody except himself and his rich buddies. The federal budget and our tax dollars are just his personal burn pile.
The Republican Farm Bill protects companies like Monsanto that dump toxic, cancer-causing pesticides into our food, air, and water. It creates a brand-new liability shield to protect them from the court cases they keep losing. Why? Follow the money.
