A holiday dagger at the heart of veteran health care—Collins’ cuts will stretch thinner a staff already struggling w/rising workloads. Saying positions are open is no excuse for failing to fill them—many mission critical jobs. It leads to longer wait times, less responsive care.
Our VA investigation has shown 650+ contracts cancelled by Sec Collins on arbitrary, draconian recommendations by Musk’s DOGE tech bros. Our Spotlight Forum dramatically revealed the damage to veteran services—essential & life saving for many—& benefits & compensation.
LIVE: Senate Dems hear directly from veterans, the small business community, & stakeholders about DOGE & the Trump Admin’s chaotic cancellation of VA contracts—cutting off veterans from critical services & vital support operations. https://t.co/xYfWvcHczm
LIVE: Senators hear directly from former VA employees & stakeholders about how DOGE’s cuts are endangering PACT Act care & benefits for toxic-exposed veterans & their families. https://t.co/lEEPMHANzw
This Administration should celebrate the Army’s 250th Birthday by honoring past & present soldiers & reinstating thousands of vets fired from the federal workforce. Spend millions on rehiring heroes, not an extravagant military parade—on Trump’s birthday. https://t.co/8t3KHRk3gU
Right now, we are in a crisis in veterans’ care—a crisis of the Trump Administration’s making.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s cruel slashing & trashing at the VA has been monumentally destructive and must be reversed.
It was my profound honor to deliver the commencement address at West Point.
