The VA is the 2nd largest “boulder” in the federal government’s “quarry”

[Grace @ImaMTnative]

@RepRosendale Consulting & professional services in the Federal Government (including the legislative & judicial breaches) are fraught with conflicts of interests! The VA is a small stone in the bigger picture! Try taking a look in your own back yard…

[Matt Rosendale @FmrRepRosendale]

Consulting and professional services at the VA are fraught with conflicts of interest. That is not my opinion - that’s what the facts say.

Today, I held a hearing of the Veterans Affairs Subcommittee on Technology Modernization on fraud among VA contractors.

What justification is there for his security detail?

Is this what customer service looks like?

Months to correct? Seriously?

[Concerned Veterans for America @ConcernedVets]

A #VAFail turned a retired Force Master Chief Petty Officer's life upside down. They marked him as deceased instead of his wife, causing loss of benefits, bank account access, and life insurance. It took months to correct the error. @SecVetAffairs

Lindsey is proof, when given the opportunity veterans raise to the top!

Between 1%-2% Americans serve, but approximately 10% of all small businesses are veteran owned

Veterans don't need more lip service, they need accountability.

[Concerned Veterans for America @ConcernedVets]

Rather than seeing the commission for what it was, a chance to ensure the VA is best positioned to serve veterans, you leaned into focusing only on potential closures while ignoring potential renovations, new builds, or community care options.

[Concerned Veterans for America @ConcernedVets]

You killed the AIR Commission last summer and ensured facilities continue to age while veterans simply hope they can receive the best treatment.

This was a process the VA itself was supportive of that you directly undermined.

[Nate Banks @COStrategicDir]

“non-starter”

[Archive: Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester]

Leadership failures at VA Montana will not be tolerated, period. I’m glad to see VA taking action, because the fact is anything that prevents even a single veteran from accessing the timely, high-quality care and benefits they deserve is a non-starter for me.

[Chris Enget @ChrisEnget]

Now do the leadership at the top.

Tragically, only 16 U.S. senators—out of 100—voted today to clarify that no treaty can take us to war. Nothing in Article 5 of the NATO treaty supersedes the need for a declaration of war passed by Congress. Find out here how your senators voted: https://t.co/0fnbA5Rnnf

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

Today I offered an amendment to the NDAA that would have clarified that Article 5 of the NATO treaty does not supersede the constitution. https://t.co/KfEwvY81Rv

[Nate Banks @COStrategicDir]

Are the legislators in Colorado really so lacking in creativity and critical thought that this one constitutional amendment leaves them impotent to create any other solution?

Hasn’t there been single party rule in Colorado long enough to have enacted effective policies, right?

@davidblackwell @mhillman @ColoradoDOT @jaredpolis It’s the Republicans who support TABOR-not Polis

Final beers at @AnchorBrewing. @terrykibbe and I had our first real beer, an Anchor Steam, with Murray Rothbard in 1987. Fritz Maytag, who rescued the brewery, started the American craft beer revolution. 🍻 Drinking Steam Beer, Christmas Ale, and Old Foghorn Barleywine.

Demand transparency and accountability for the $Billions of Coloradans hard earned tax dollars. Not to mention the climate for added casualties rewarding failure can create.

How is depleting America’s defense resources in America’s interest?

[Jimmie T. Smith @JimmieTSmith]

Russia has used this same doctrine for decades, one rotation at the National Training Center, and you learn this.

How did the NATO and American Gen.'s advising them not know this.

You owe it to the 400k Colorado #Veterans you represent to stop @VeteransHealth legacy of #VAFail!

Vets deserve equal health care opportunity
We deserve choice
We deserve freedom

[Jimmie T. Smith @JimmieTSmith]

If not for the advocacy of his family and @WFLAWalt, this veteran would have been just one @DeptVetAffairs #VAFail

@SenRickScott @SenMarcoRubio need to change the VA and put the veterans first.
