Secretary Collins seems to be in a race to tear down VA from within. He has created a toxic work environment, eliminated collective bargaining rights, and demeaned his employees. Instead of being a Secretary who builds up his employees, he's tearing them down.

When VA makes a mistake with a veteran's claim, that claim enters the appeals process, shifting the timeline for a veteran waiting on healthcare from months to years. A mistake costs a veteran time and, potentially, their health.

🧵Last week, @repmarktakano.bsky.social held a roundtable on veterans' fertility care & IVF access. Alex, an Air Force veteran, shared her story of nearly losing her fertility and her life after she was unable to receive timely reproductive healthcare while serving our nation.

"Not being able to afford your rent should not be a one-way ticket to a forced labor camp." - Eric Tars with @homelesslaw.bsky.social

Republicans want veterans to foot the bill, through new VA home loan fees, for other veterans' benefits. Without RM @repmarktakano.bsky.social's amendment to H.R. 6047, tens of thousands more veterans and their families could face foreclosure in Trump's economy.

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.

We need a clear understanding of what is actually happening in claims processing. Not just how quickly decisions are issued, but whether those decisions are accurate, durable, and fair to the veterans who depend on them.

Trump's EO criminalizing homelessness last year made it clear this admin won't protect homeless veterans. Now, AG Pam Bondi & Sec. Doug Collin are having VA attorneys go to state courts to get a homeless veteran assigned a guardian. The focus should be on housing veterans, not guardianship.

"Frankly, I think it's going to lead to worse outcomes for the most vulnerable of our veterans." - @ramirez.house.gov Forcing veterans into guardianships isn't the solution. We must instead ensure veterans have access to the treatment, housing, and services they deserve.
