As Senator Blumenthal put it, this is “government by whiplash.” While the VA has suspended some of the cuts, we cannot allow this administration to undermine our ability to deliver care to veterans. I joined my colleagues outside the VA to take a stand and defend our veterans.

As Elon Musk guts entire government agencies and fires thousands of federal workers that deliver vital services to the country, remember that his corporations have received at least $38 billion in government contracts over the past 20 years.
Yet will any of this be touched by DOGE? Of course not.

Republicans want to cut 2 TRILLION dollars from programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, all so they can fund tax cuts for their billionaire friends.
Earlier this week, I stood with my colleagues and Citizens Action/Illinois to speak out about how this would harm working families.
