Veterans are going without critical VA services and 37,000 VA employees missing pay due to the Democrats’ government shutdown.

Every day the shutdown drags on, more Veterans are blocked from VA job training and career counseling services. VA is ready to help, but Congressional Democrats are stopping us from doing so.

After spreading lies for months that VA is cutting services for Veterans and making life miserable for VA employees, congressional Democrats like Senator Schumer voted to actually do it. One of the biggest displays of hypocrisy in recent history!

In the past, too many decisions at VA came from the top down and caused problems. We’re flipping that and empowering VA frontline teams to do what’s best for Veterans.

All VA health care facilities should meet one standard: excellent care and maximum convenience for Veterans.

Under President Trump, we are empowering VA leaders to cut through red tape and put Veterans first.

A fully functioning VA should take priority over free health care for illegal immigrants!

The Democrats’ government shutdown is limiting critical VA support for transitioning Veterans, including career counseling and job training. Veterans ready to move forward are left waiting until the government reopens.

Under President Trump, VA is squarely focused on its core mission, and services to Veterans are improving. Performance is up and the backlog of Veterans waiting for VA benefits is down nearly 50%.

VA health care facilities are open, and benefits are being processed. But the Democrat government shutdown is limiting services for Veterans and hurting 35,000+ VA employees, who are going without pay. department.va.gov/contingency-...

We inherited a billion-dollar electronic health record project that had stalled under the previous administration. Now it’s back on track and scheduled to go live at 13 sites next year.

During the Democrat government shutdown, VA continues to provide Veterans with health care and disability benefits. But the longer this goes on, the more it will affect Veterans’ lives. It’s not a good way to do business.

When people look back on this time at the department, I want them to say: That’s when VA finally put Veterans first. Streamlined and efficient. No red tape or runaround. Just results.

Let all naysayers know: DeptVetAffairs is performing better under President Trump than it did during the Biden Administration – even with 30,000 less employees.
