Committee Republicans voted against a presumption of service connection for blast overpressure. Blast exposures are not a matter of happenstance during a servicemember’s enlistment; they are an occupational requirement critical to the operational readiness of our military.

"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

RM @repmarktakano.bsky.social has pushed for a vote on the Major Richard Star Act. The time is now; our veterans cannot wait any longer. While Trump has spent over $30 billion on an unwanted war with Iran, our veterans at home are suffering.

"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.

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.

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?

Guardianship should be a last resort. Veterans fought for our freedom, and now they're at risk of losing their freedom to the federal government. VA should put an end to "Project Safe Harbor" today and focus on real solutions for homeless vets, like housing and services.

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 and their survivors deserve better. Under President Trump, VA has stonewalled Congress, no answers, no transparency, just deliberate obstruction. How can veterans trust an agency that hides the truth from everyone?

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.
