Veterans

The cuts will make it harder for veterans to get health care and benefits.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are escalating their full-scale, no-holds-barred assault on veterans–and putting the health care and benefits they have earned in grave danger.

Veterans risked everything for this country. You think they deserve to be fired? That's not patriotism — that's pathetic.

If carried out, these cuts will harm veterans and taxpayers for years to come.

These contracts allow VA to recruit & retain doctors, inform vets about their earned benefits, & perform safety inspections at VA medical facilities.

To say that these firings will not affect veterans' care and benefits is a lie.

I am deeply disturbed by Secretary Collins' continued actions that are harming veterans, military spouses, civil servants and their families.

Doug Collins continues to put the interests of veterans last with additional indiscriminate firings of VA employees who serve veterans, including patient-facing employees.

I take Secretary Collins at his word when he says there is no impact to the delivery of care, benefits, and services for veterans with this plan.

These short-sighted actions leave service members and Veterans — who are among the likeliest group to be targeted for financial crimes — vulnerable to fraud and abuse.

Politically, global war on terror veterans are more skeptical of politics than not.

Make no mistake — Trump is looking to fire probationary employees because it is easy, not because it is good for veterans or cost-effective.

Donald Trump gave DOGE access to America's personal refund data. He gave DOGE access to people's Medicare and Medicaid benefits, disability data, veteran benefit data. Worst of all, we don't know what DOGE intends to do with this…

It is reprehensible an unelected billionaire can freely access veterans' sensitive and personal information.

We must never lose sight of the sacrifices made by our servicemen and women. They deserve our unwavering support and the best resources we can provide.

Supporting our veterans is not just a duty, it’s a promise. We must ensure they have the resources and respect they deserve after serving our nation.

I do want to lend my support for H.R. 4486. This bill will expand the existing preferential hiring treatment for veterans and Americans with disabilities to include election positions.

I believe that changing the structure of the DOL VETs office in the manner proposed could result in much more harm than good.
