House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs Democrats

The best way to learn how to serve future generations of veterans is to listen to veterans themselves. Before our Roundtable discussion last week, we asked Ben Jeffrey, a veteran who experienced homelessness firsthand, to answer one question for us. Here's what he had to say.

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 d...

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.

"You can't support the veteran while undermining the worker that helps them. Their dignity is inseparable." - Craig Romanovich @aflcio.org House Democrats will always stand with VA employees.
At a time when Republicans are spending billions of dollars on wars of choice, tax cuts for the rich, ICE, and ballrooms, it is unbelievable that Republicans want to charge veterans for veterans' benefits. Congress should focus on reducing veterans' financial burden, not increasing it.
H.R. 1041 will put guns in the hands of VA's most vulnerable beneficiaries. "H.R. 1041 does nothing to promote better mental health among servicemembers and veterans. It, however, injects more risk of harm into the system... I cannot in good conscience support [it]." - RM @repmarktakano.bsky.social
Veterans who survive sexual assault need to be able to turn to VA for support. H.R. 5203, led by @kellymorrisonmn.bsky.social, would bolster VA facilities' ability to care for veterans after sexual assault. As a provider, she knows we must deliver compassionate & competent care.
For years, veterans have been expressing the urgent need to end the 'wounded veteran tax'. We've heard them loud and clear. Their number one priority is our priority. We must pass the Major Richard Star Act.
ICYMI: Trump says government should fund one thing: the military. His budget follows through. Massive defense increases send billions to contractors and corporate profits, while cutting healthcare and basic services.

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/...
This week, House Democrats hosted a roundtable discussion on veteran homelessness. Before the Roundtable began, we asked our participants to answer one question: If you could ask Secretary Collins and Secretary Turner to do one thing to help end veteran homelessness, what would it be and why?
Veterans and Americans can all agree that attacking civilian infrastructure would be a war crime, and Trump should NEVER go through with it. Listen to those who have fought in war and sacrificed for our country, Mr. President.

Oohhh look at that nice fence😁 I’m on the edge of a valley ( the woods) and frequently have visitors. I’m torn between growing food ( and protecting it) and having a nice boring view of the trees. Besides what you can see here, I have a second backyard that we call “the lower plateau” 😝

Marit Stiles is 100% right. Doug may very well find himself in prison. It’s not “Trumpian rhetoric” to say that if someone broke the law, they belong behind bars. If Doug Ford hasn’t done anything illegal, he has nothing to worry about.

Thirteen lives lost, hundreds wounded, and $50 billion spent. This was a war of choice — and we are less safe because of it.
