Thank you, President Trump. We need an all-of-the-above strategy when it comes to tackling mental health, and your EO opens up new possibilities for America’s Veterans.

.@POTUS announces "historic reforms to dramatically accelerate access to new medical research and treatments based on psychedelic drugs." "Since 9/11, we've lost over 21x more veteran lives to suicide than on the battlefield... and today, we're bringing them new hope."

The NCA motto says it all: you only have one chance to get it right. Yesterday, I challenged our NCA senior leaders to keep that idea at the forefront and maintain their standard of excellence. Our Veterans and their families deserve nothing less.

Today marks a new chapter in Veteran healthcare as we restart VA’s EHR modernization effort. The goal is simple – replace outdated systems and provide Veterans with a single, accurate medical record that follows them for life. Our Veterans deserve a healthcare system that works as hard as they did for us.

When I started last year, I said @DeptVetAffairs wouldn’t continue to do things the way it always has. I promised to expand access to care and cut the red tape - these 100K new enrollees are proof that we’re delivering on that promise. To our newest enrollees: Welcome.
To those still waiting: Our doors are open.

Our aim is victory. President Trump is leading the world toward peace through strength. No longer will America be pushed around. We lead from the front and show the example of what it means to keep America and the world safe from tyranny.
Rapid Response 47@RapidResponse47

.@POTUS: "Tonight, I am pleased to say that these core strategic objectives are nearing completion... We think especially of the 13 American warriors who have laid down their lives in this fight... Now, we must honor them by completing the mission for which they gave their lives."

Happy Birthday Jordan! You are an amazing young woman who makes her dad and mom and brothers very proud. Your attitude, personality, strength and heart are things that inspire many people everyday. You always see the best in others and remind us all that the only disability in life is not living it to the fullest. We love you!

Up and moving this morning! Veterans, we might not have liked those early morning runs in the military, but staying active is even more important as we get older. While you’re at it, go to VA.gov and check out the benefits available for you and your family.

As Veterans, @SecHegseth and I know we stand on the shoulders of the giants who served in Vietnam. They taught us what it means to sacrifice and preserve. Welcome home.

The Gainesville, GA hero @USArmy Lt. Alexander Nininger was the first Medal of Honor recipient of World War II. On this National Medal of Honor Day, we remember how he fought his way through enemy positions destroying several enemy groups and snipers at the Battle of Bataan, before succumbing to his wounds.  A cenotaph at @ArlingtonNatl memorializes his service and sacrifice. It’s an honor to share the same hometown as this courageous hero.

Great to meet with the soldiers and families at Caserma Ederle during my trip to the Paralympics. But even better to run into the local Girl Scouts! Nothing says home like a box of cookies. On behalf of President Trump, thank you to our service members and their families for everything you do for our country.

Delivering on the promises of the MISSION Act. We’re working to add thousands of community care providers to our new appointment scheduling system so our heroes can get the health care they’ve earned faster than ever before. news.va.gov/press-room/va-…

Closing out an incredible weekend at the 2026 Winter Paralympic Games. Team USA continues to show the world what resilience and strength looks like. @DeptVetAffairs is proud to fuel that spirit through our adaptive sports programs. Proud of all of our athletes competing, it’s been an honor to represent President Trump and cheer on these champions!

I’ll miss Coach Holtz as a friend and a giant of the game. He mixed wisdom, humor, and just plain common sense in a way that made everyone around him better. God bless his memory, and Lisa and I are praying for his family today.

Unbelievable. Worst transportation secretary in history suddenly has opinions on how to run an agency. There’s more work to do, but under @POTUS, @DeptVetAffairs is serving Veterans better than ever, including cutting the backlog of Vets waiting for VA benefits by more than 60%, opening 33 new health care facilities and investing nearly $5 billion to upgrade VA medical facilities.
Pete Buttigieg@PeteButtigieg

Got it. There's plenty of funding to send troops into harm’s way, but not to take care of their health afterwards. This is shameful.
