On the recordJune 23, 2025
Our Active-Duty servicemembers and our veterans have given so much to our Nation to ensure that we remain safe and free. It is now our duty to support them. This critical piece of legislation fully funds veterans' benefits, healthcare, and other VA programs that so many of our veterans need. This legislation also furthers President Trump's goals of removing waste and abuse from our government by codifying his executive orders to end funding for ridiculous DEI and pro-abortion VA policies. Additionally, this legislation ensures that programs to fight veteran homelessness are fully funded. It also supports the Veterans Crisis Line and other VA suicide prevention programs. This is critical legislation to ensure that our Nation's veterans have the support that they deserve.
