The House is ready to vote on the Major Richard Star Act. But Republican leadership sent folks home after working only seven legislative days in August and September. We can't govern from home. Bring the House back into session, Speaker Johnson, so we can finally pass the Major Richard Star Act.
Our veterans have earned every resource, every dollar, and every benefit we can deliver.
South Carolina is home to some of the most dedicated servicemembers and veterans in the nation. They answered the call to serve, and we owe them an unwavering commitment long after they hang up the uniform.
We will always put our veterans and servicemembers first and work to ensure they receive every bit of support they have earned.
Washington has no business nickel-and-diming veterans who were willing to put their lives on the line for ours.
We signed the Major Richard Star Act Discharge Petition, becoming the 218th and final signature needed to reach the threshold for a House floor vote.
These veterans came home carrying wounds they will live with for the rest of their lives. They sacrificed for this country, and they earned every benefit promised to them. Combat-injured veterans have waited long enough. It's time to bring the Major Richard Star Act to the floor and let Congress vote.
This week, we became the 218th and final signature on the Major Richard Star Act Discharge Petition, the threshold needed to force a House floor vote.
Combat-injured veterans have been forced to forfeit part of the retirement pay they earned simply because they also receive VA disability compensation for injuries sustained in combat. Washington has been nickel-and-diming veterans who put their lives on the line for ours.
Enough is enough.
It's time to bring the Major Richard Star Act to the floor and let Congress vote.
Holy shit….
Trump just dropped a red-pill nuclear bomb on Truth Social.
He posted a video showing NIH Geneticist and Biochemist outlining that vaccines have toxic chemicals like Mercury in them, and can cause autism.
Trump just called vaccines “poison”…
MUST WATCH!
ONE MORE SIGNATURE NEEDED.
The Major Richard Star Act discharge petition has 217 of the 218 signatures needed. Combat-injured veterans have waited long enough.
Take action today and tell Congress to get this done: https://t.co/WPOzurXAqm
Veterans, caregivers, and survivors may rely on different benefits, but they are all part of the same promise.
Policy should not help one group by weakening support for another.
We all deserve better than that.
Take action and tell Congress to oppose any version of TCAVA that cuts veterans’ earned benefits: https://t.co/0Uxxzp1h2V

Military service comes with a promise: if that service causes injury or illness, this country will recognize it and provide the benefits earned.
That promise should not weaken for the veterans who come next.
Honor the Contract. Every veteran. Every generation.
