House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs Democrats

ICYMI:VA has spent weeks misleading the public about its plans to force homeless veterans into guardianships. Trump's EO last year called for locking up homeless people, including veterans, rather than helping them. Guardianship will not fix the crux of the problems veterans face; they need support.

Veterans have made it clear that they don't want this guardianship program, and we stand with them. Guardianship would strip veterans of their autonomy, taking away their right to...

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.

Trump ended the VASP program last year, leaving thousands of families at risk. Since then, 10,000 veteran families have fallen into foreclosure, 90,000 are at risk. Trump started an unwanted war while failing those who have already served. Our government must work for those who fought to protect it.
Trump's VA now has the most restrictive abortion policy of any federal healthcare program. Federally incarcerated women now have more access to reproductive healthcare than women veterans at VA. This is not right, and we will continue to fight for women veterans' rights.
Conditions at West LA are unacceptable, and frankly, dangerous. Veterans’ lives are at real risk. We must address the root causes of the problems at West LA, or we will fail the thousands of veterans who should be able to call the National Soldiers’ Home their home.
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
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.
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.
Would you trust a physician who cites Google or an AI tool? VA employees who are being pushed to make decisions faster are relying on Google and WebMD to justify their claims decisions and are citing those “sources” in the letters they send to veterans.
🧵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.
Caring for veterans means ensuring all veterans have a place to call home. @repdexteror.bsky.social's Every Veteran Housed Act allows veterans with other than honorable discharges get the housing benefits and supportive services they deserve.
Family & Medical Leave (FMLA) ensures VA employees can take the time they need to care for their family members. But Sec Collin's VA believes in-laws shouldn't be counted as family. We must pass @ramirez.house.gov's HR 7948 to ensure VA employees can care for all members of their family when needed.

Moderate Christians still exist. So where are they? As churches grow more politically defined, many are struggling to find a place they belong. Ryan Burge unpacks the “hollowing out” of the middle—and why, for many, it’s not a loss of faith… it’s a loss of options. Listen: linktr.ee/savedbythecity
With nearly 20% of our waste made up of food scraps, we can’t ignore the cost to our environment or economy. Restoring $5M for Food Waste Reduction grants and supporting programs that help communities cut landfill waste and emissions is a smart investment for NY.
PORTLAND, Oregon - US veterans rally across the US to say "No war on our cities" and to protest ICE and cuts to veterans programs on Veterans Day.
Israel has wiped out 39 villages in South Lebanon and destroyed 40,000 homes. 39 centuries-old historic villages entirely erased from the map. In just 60 days. This is ethnic cleansing. This is terrorism. And not a peep from the complicit “international community”, of course.
