"...$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

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/...

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.

Time and time again, the Republican majority has chosen its own priorities over VSO priorities. This week is yet another example. These bills are not bipartisan, we don't know how they will be paid for, and they don't reflect VSO requests. This is hardly a responsible reauthorization process.

VA police officers play an essential role in VA's mission by not just protecting facilities, but supporting veterans in their darkest moments. Many of these officers are veterans themselves, serving this nation in a new capacity. We should protect our VA workforce and pass H.R. 8010.

"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.

"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 admin wants money for a war, but where's the funding needed to tackle veterans' benefits? Trump's creating veterans without preparing for them. 👉 RM @repmarktakano.bsky.social knows exactly how he would spend $200 Billion on veterans, survivors, and their families if that were ever an option.

"Cut, after cut, after cut, with no analysis of how veteran care and benefits will be affected." - @ramirez.house.gov

As Dr. Ryan pointed out at our IVF roundtable, proving a connection between women veterans' infertility and their military service is difficult. Women veterans often spend their peak reproductive years in service. They deserve access to reproductive and infertility care once they leave service.

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.

There’s a gap in Melania Trump’s early timeline. In this Background Briefing interview, Nina Burleigh connects those missing years to a bigger story now unfolding—one involving Amanda Ungaro, who is threatening to expose what she claims to know. 👂@ kpfa.org @ianmastersmedia.bsky.social #KPFA

I'm not interested in protecting a system where your cancer diagnosis is someone else's vacation. A 2% tax on wealth over $50M. A 4% surcharge on billionaires. That helps pay for Medicare for All. Healthcare is a human right. The money is there. We need members of Congress with courage to pass it.

Too many people feel trapped in a system where life revolves around work. A 4 day week, without loss of pay, would transform how we work, helping people spend more time with their friends and families. I asked the First Minister if he would commit to expanding the 4 day week in the public sector.

Fam, I've been hearing quite a bit about the new Clone Wars Ahsoka Tano skin that came out in Fortnite. It's been on my mind for a few days since I heard about her, so I'm going to see if can install and play the mobile version of Fortnite and earn her before the event ends. Wish me luck, Fam. 🧡
