We salute these VA workers for honoring #AlexPretti.
As they say, "We are healthcare workers for veterans. We know what heroes look like."

Our thanks to @propublica for examining what the VA is doing to mental health care. We have heard many stories like these. Many veterans need mental health services and the VA has a responsibility to provide them. Failing to do so breaks a promise.

For many post-9/11 veterans, military action in Iran feels like a familiar pattern - unclear objectives. Expanding risk. Troops and families asked to carry the weight.
Whatever comes next, the Constitution still matters. Congress must do its job.

NSL4A expresses unwavering support for U.S. service members executing Operation Epic Fury with discipline, professionalism, and courage. We offer our deepest condolences to those killed in Iranian attacks in Kuwait and their families.
At the same time, NSL4A is deeply concerned by the political and legal justification for the operation and by the strategic, constitutional, and diplomatic consequences now unfolding.

This is what's really happening to veteran care. The VA has cut empty slots for 1,500+ physicians & 4,900+ nurses. They chose not to hire replacements for roughly 14,400 unfilled medical vacancies at its health care division. @NickNehamas

Congress must exercise its constitutional responsibility to reign in this unilateral executive action. Decisions that send Americans into harm’s way should be made with full public debate and authorization by the people’s representatives in Congress--per the Constitution. 2/2

By launching military operations without clear congressional authorization or a transparent strategy for de-escalation, the U.S. risks plunging itself into a broader conflict with no defined objectives that align with long-term peace or security. 1/2

We also want to thank the military families and allies who spoke out as well. It takes all of us to stand up for those who serve us.
We need to remember that the fight continues. Now we need to ask the Sec Collins and the DOJ to withdraw the Ingram appeal. #veterans

What kind of power do veteran voices have? Today the VA rescinded the interim final rule they enacted last week. While they halted it on Friday. Veterans did not stop pushing. Today it has been rescinded. Join us in speaking out for veterans. public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-03940.pdf…

Thank you @MilitaryTimes for amplifying veterans concerns about the VA's new rule. All military members and those who care about them needed to know this was happening.
We are grateful implementation has been halted, but would rather see the rule rescinded.

If a medication or treatment lowers a veteran's disability level, the rating will be based on the lower level, according to a new VA regulation. militarytimes.com/veterans/2026/…

We are pleased to see the VA halt the enforcement of this rule and hope that the VA understands how harmful this action would have been to the veterans it was created to serve.
We were proud to partner with veterans groups around the country to push back against this rule.
VA Secretary Doug Collins@SecVetAffairs
Effective immediately, VA is halting enforcement of the interim final rule, Evaluative Rating: Impact of Medication. VA issued the rule to clarify existing policy and protect Veterans’ benefits in the wake of an ongoing court action. But many interpreted the rule as something that could result in adverse consequences. While VA does not agree with the way this rule has been characterized, the department always takes Veterans’ concerns seriously. To alleviate these concerns, VA will continue to collect public comments regarding the rule, but it will not be enforced at any time in the future. Under my leadership, VA is ensuring that everyone applying for benefits receives everything they have earned as quickly and conveniently as possible. This includes reducing the backlog of Veterans waiting for benefits by more than 60 percent. We will continue these improvements on behalf of America’s Veterans, families, caregivers and survivors.

The claim that quick action is required shows the degree to which the VA is putting its administrative needs ahead of veterans’ needs and the realities of their lives. We urge the administration to rescind this rule and follow prior court rulings. 2/2

We believe these radical changes by the VA will negatively impact tens of thousands of veterans. That it was done quickly with no notice or comment period, makes it worse. 1/2

This article tracks with what we have been hearing. The VA needs more psychologists. The VA is a healthcare system that understands and is built to address veterans unique needs. This includes their mental health needs. This is the healthcare veterans earned.
The War Horse@TheWarHorseNews
The number of veterans seeking mental health treatment continues to rise, but the number of psychologists at VA dropped last year for the first time in a decade thewarhorse.org/va-psychologis…

We commend @SenDuckworth for trying to determine where we stand with Venezuela. Are we at war? If not, why did the President invoke the Alien Enemies Act? What is the danger to troops? Are we headed into another forever war? We need to know.
Tammy Duckworth@SenDuckworth
Forrest Gump ran toward danger in Vietnam. Your boss ran to his podiatrist crying bone spurs. Petty insults at the expense of people with disabilities won't change the fact that you're risking troops' lives to boost Chevron's stock price. It's my job to hold you accountable.

These deaths reflect a broader pattern of anonymity and impunity that erodes public trust and violates the Constitution. This is not the America our founders envisioned, and it is not the America I served 20 years in uniform to defend. 3/3
English
It creates the conditions for abuse, and the predictable result is what we are now witnessing: civilians killed by agents of the state under highly questionable circumstances. 2/3

USMC Ret. Lt. Col Joe Plenzler gets it right. Visibility, accountability, trust are what professionalism & patriotism look like. Anonymous masked federal agents operating in U.S. cities with little transparency & even less accountability is dangerous. 1/3

This is who we know the National Guard to be. Thank you to these service members for serving their communities with honor.

HAPPENING NOW 🚨: MN National Guard members have arrived at the site of the federal building, and have been ordered to distribute donuts, coffee and hot chocolate to anti-ice protestors. They were given reflective vests so protestors don’t confuse them with federal agents.

This is important information. The city of Minneapolis is making sure its citizens know who is part of the National Guard.
City of Minneapolis@CityMinneapolis
Guard members will wear neon reflective vests to help distinguish them from other agencies who may be in similar uniforms. They will also remain in close contact with and proximity to the MPD officers they are supporting.
