House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs Democrats

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.

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.

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.
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?
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.
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.
🚨Congress reconvenes TOMORROW. Veterans, call your members NOW and urge them to sign the discharge petition. We have 157 signatures. We only need 61 more to force a vote on the House Floor. It's time to #PasstheMajorRichardStarAct! ➡️ Has your Member signed? Visit: clerk.house.gov/DischargePet...
The House Committee on Veterans' Affairs exists to hold VA accountable and deliver results for those who served—our nation's veterans. The mission is the veteran, and we must not lose sight of that.
Veterans served this country and fought for our freedom. Yet, veterans have less access to fertility care than Members of Congress—why? Listen to Georgette Kerr with American Society for Reproductive Medicine, addressing this reality at our IVF roundtable last month.
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.
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.
Veterans need, want, and deserve timely decisions on their claims. Speed should not be the goal; accuracy and delivering benefits should be the main focus. We must NEVER sacrifice the quality of care or service for the speed of delivery.

Abraham Lincoln didn't free any slaves in America, and neither did the fucking republican party. African American slaves freed themselves. Oh yes, they did! Harriet Tubman freed more slaves than Abraham Lincoln or the republican party could ever have dreamt of freeing (and truth is, they didn't).
Toronto Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic on Scottie Barnes: “I expect more from Scottie. The way he's playing, he's at 60% of a player that he's gonna be in 2-3 years. Scottie's gonna be one of the best players in the league, and he's already one of the best players in the league.”

Part two: dragging Serbia’s alleged "pro-Western activist-intellectual crowd" for the usual: - “It’s not time yet” - “First, let’s take down this 🇷🇸 gov't” - “We’re pro-EU, but only on our terms” etc A special circle of hypocritical hell for the fensers: “It doesn’t matter, the people are to blame”👇

Wishing everyone a meaningful Memorial Day as we honor the service members who gave everything for our country and remember the families who carry that sacrifice with them every day. Thinking today of the many Oklahoma families whose loved ones never made it home, & honoring their legacy.

"I hope we don't get bombed now." Are we really letting people go on stage and imply that Jews are going to bomb them? Aside from the antisemitism, it doesn't make sense? Why would a group of people need blacklisting if they just bomb people who disagree?
