@DaddyWarpig @wtfcetialpha5 This is congress forcing a change. Not the VA

@jchenelly @Sapperldr I can imagine it's extremely hard work trying to convince American veterans that screwing over future veterans is a take it or leave it situation. Leaving your integrity, honor and commitment at the door for a paycheck shows who you are more than any picture.

@Sapperldr @jchenelly He was pushing a completely different message with the DAV 10 years ago compared to his "take it or leave it" message he speaks today.

[Marine Corps SIGINT Association @MCSIGINTAssoc]

@jchenelly @Sapperldr @HouseVetAffairs @RepMMM Your take it or leave it message isn't helping anyone. Thank you for showing everyone your lack of character and lack of commitment to veterans and future veterans. Real Marines don't say trash like that.

@Sapperldr @jchenelly @HouseVetAffairs @RepMMM @jchenelly represents AMVETs and is going to parrot whatever his handlers tell him too. These individuals cannot think on their own. In 2024 he was paid over 180,000 by AMVETs while only averaging 20 hours a week per their 990 to push narratives that hurt veterans.

We are done watching sick veterans used as props for political cover while the benefits that keep them alive are quietly stripped from a bill most people will never read.

People not seeing the actual cost of the offset spending in the Take Benefits Away From Veterans Act need to watch this video. The veterans organizations that support the bill have been hijacked.

@54KVeterans The individuals that are running those organizations are doing it for other reasons. Not to protect veterans. Call them ask them why they think it's a good bill. You'll be shocked by the responses and hopefully you react by never giving them money again.

Section 201(b) would create a new pathway to Title 38 education benefits for unaccredited, fully online education for trades careers. Hubbard and advocates said it "should raise serious concerns" due to how trade careers require hands-on training

🚨Action Alert

Today’s vote on the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act didn’t move forward, but the stakes for veterans remain.

Continue contacting members of Congress and tell them to back off veterans’ earned benefits and Honor the Contract: https://t.co/CeC7052N42

Officers screwing over currently serving troops what a shocker. Advocating for taking away from future veterans is a scummy look.

@HeatherLemire1 @JohnByrnes13 Yes his words are fake. That article is from 2022 and the VA already made a statement about the issue saying nothing was going to change or planned to change. You already knew that though

[Marine Corps SIGINT Association @MCSIGINTAssoc]

@JohnByrnes13 Do you guys have no integrity?

[House Veterans' Affairs Democrats @VetAffairsDems]

During yesterday's Rule debate, RM @RepMcGovern made this point in response to the GOP's talking points: "When it comes to other things nobody wants, no one cares about an offset. But when it comes to veterans, we are insisting on an offset. I just find that a little bit puzzling."

[Marine Corps SIGINT Association @MCSIGINTAssoc]

@endwarriortax @kniftarqr9y @ConcernedVets So you want to get yours and screw over the currently serving veterans? Its not ok to take from the future veteran. Veterans before us fought for the rights we have now and it is dishonorable in every way for us to not do the same.

Important: Regarding the Taking Care of America's Veterans and the Major Richard Star Acts

We are seeing an increase in posts from Concerned Veterans of America (CVA) supporting the TVAVA, the omnibus bill that many veterans and veterans' groups oppose in its current form.

It is important to understand that, although CVA promotes itself as a folksy grassroots veterans' organization, it is actually a U.S. 501(c)(4) social welfare organization (dark money advocacy group) focused on policy lobbying and targeted, organized grassroots mobilization.

"Grassroots (adjective/noun): A bottom-up approach to political, social, or advocacy activity originating from ordinary citizens or local communities rather than from established institutions, elites, or centralized leadership."

Far from organic mobilization, CVA is funded primarily by the Koch network and associated dark-money organizations. It influences policy through a combination of (non-organic) grassroots mobilization, direct lobbying, media campaigns, and strategic alliances within the conservative/libertarian ecosystem (operates as a project of Americans for Prosperity, a core Koch-backed group).

As such, it is not required to disclose donors, and allows wealthy individuals, corporations, or foreign-linked entities to influence elections and policy without accountability. It is called "dark" precisely because the ultimate funders remain hidden from voters.

Clearly, its self-proclaimed identity as a 'veterans for veterans' organization constitutes a profound misnomer.

In considering the merits and inadequacies of the Taking Care of America's Veterans Act, our legislators in DC should solicit input from genuine, concerned veterans and veterans' groups, not from paid-for-influence dark-money organizations.
