Disregard and disrespect for those who’ve worn the uniform

The Trump administration and DOGE's next target: veterans. Trump and Elon Musk plan to cut over 80,000 workers from the Department of Veteran Affairs in the coming weeks. This will take a sledgehammer to the basic care and services our veterans rely on in their daily lives.

The VA provides veterans with everything from rehabilitation for injuries sustained in combat, to health care, to mental health services, and so much more. It's a lifeline for those who have bravely put their lives on the line to defend our country and our freedoms.

It's just the latest example of how the Trump-Musk administration is doing everything in its power to make our country less safe. Throwing the basic care and rights of veterans into the garbage can is a surefire way to make our families and our communities less safe.

Elon Musk and his DOGE cronies have even fired thousands of veterans across government departments.

And what did the White House Counsel have to say about people who bravely served their country being fired without notice? She questioned whether they were even fit to be employed in the first place.

Tweet of Alina Habba on veterans who have been fired from government: "Perhaps they're not fit to have a job at this moment."

I'll tell you who's not fit to have a job in this government: *anyone who treats veterans like pawns in a political game.*

Service members made the ultimate sacrifice to keep us safe, and Donald Trump and Republicans are thanking them by ripping away their health care and safety net. We owe those who have taken up the uniform so much more.

I'll do everything I can to fight Trump's planned cuts to the VA, and I'll work to ensure that the stories of veterans wrongly fired by Trump and Musk are known.

More soon,
