When VA's communications seem more misleading than ever, a new tool is available to help you look at the data yourself. @commondefense.bsky.social has launched a website that lets you see your Congressional district's VA wait times and healthcare staffing shortages. Check it out: vhadata.org

Veterans, VSO leaders, and Members of Congress have all heard the same thing—denial numbers and claim processing errors are up. We need to ask more than, "How fast are claims moving?" We need to ask, "How well are we serving veterans in that process?"

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.

Ending veteran homelessness requires resources, consistent check-ins, and a system that genuinely invests in the veteran's success. Ben's story captures that journey and shows how he ultimately got back on his feet. Hear his story: youtu.be/xtkwFNmQuUc?...

90% of VA's Police officers are veterans themselves, and many officers want to "pay it forward" to their fellow veterans. VA and OPM's downgrades negate that mission. We must pass @reptimkennedy.bsky.social's H.R. 8010 to protect and improve the safety and security of veterans and VA employees.

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.

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/...

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.

"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.

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.
