MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

Dear Caucus Members,

​I am writing today about an urgent developing situation. The current administration's rhetoric has now shifted into official action, creating a precedent that demands our attention.

This is a great facility, I've toured it. It is better than some of the hotels I've stayed in. Clean, safe, brand new.

Please publicize it to veterans' groups you know.
If anyone knows a homeless veteran in New Mexico, the Veterans' Integration Center has housing and programs available. Individuals, families, & pets welcome. Even for vets with less-than-honorable discharges.

Recently, the legacy of WAVE Dorothy Jensen Blanchard was honored with the renaming of High Desert Park to Dorothy Jensen Blanchard High Desert Park in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The WWII veteran’s trailblazing service will be remembered in the city that later became her home, the College, and beyond.

This is impressive!
Yet another reason to give blood: a new program, pre-hospital transfusions! So far, it is producing a 70% survival rate for victims of vehicle accidents or shootings/stabbings!

RM @repmarktakano.bsky.social is demanding VA Sec. Collins reverse his order removing male breast cancer from PACT Act coverage. Male vets are often diagnosed at later stages. It seems the Trump Admin is more focused on dismantling VA- instead of delivering care.

I prosecuted parents who deliberately starved their children. Now Trump and the Republican Party are deliberately starving our nation's children?
