    If the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act is not signed into law before the end of this year, then our bipartisan work will be undone and these will be back to square one. Now is the time to act. Now is the time to bring this critical legislation to a vote.

    This bipartisan bill would grant nearly 90,000 veterans who served off the coast of Vietnam & who suffer from illnesses resulting from their exposure to Agent Orange the benefits they deserve. These vets have waited 40 years & time is running out.

    This week, I led 45 Members of Congress in sending a letter to Senator Isakson, Chairman of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, urging him to schedule a vote on the bipartisan Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act, which passed the House 382-0 in June.

    When our country faces epidemics of veteran suicide and homelessness, the last thing we should do is take away $10 billion from . Veterans should not get budget cuts after giving tax cuts to billionaires and corporations.

    Translates into about a $10 billion cut for VA, $35 billion for the Department of Defense.

    Great work by for holding the Trump Admin accountable for unlawfully withholding documents that could reveal the extent of Mar-a-Lago's influence over VA. VA belongs to the millions of who served and sacrificed in uniform, not Trump's golfing buddies.

    NEW: After the Trump administration refused to provide records to us—and to Congress—that would show how Mar-A-Lago members influence VA policy, we sued for answers.

    While no one solution will be enough, there are a number of steps we must take to move the ball forward in the fight to save the lives of our veterans. For one, Congress needs to pass my VA Medicinal Cannabis Research Act.

    VA’s refusal to cooperate with this inquiry is absolutely unacceptable. This issue has reeked of cronyism and corruption since the beginning and will remain a top concern until all our questions are answered. Trump & VA can’t be allowed to sweep this under the rug.

    VA leaders won't turn over documents to Congress related to Mar-a-Lago businessmen influencing department policy.

    One veteran lost to suicide is one too many. We still have a lot of work ahead of us and many questions to answer, but one thing is certain: we must never stop trying. We must never stop working together to make a difference. Our veterans deserve nothing less.

    17 years since the attacks on 9/11, we remember those who lost their lives, pay tribute to the first responders who ran selflessly into harm’s way to save their neighbors, and salute the countless men and women who answered and continue to answer the call of duty.

    President Trump is fighting to block the extension of benefits for >90,000 veterans. These have already waited 40 years & it is past time we honor their sacrifice, even if we have to drag Trump along kicking & screaming to do it.

    While alone in the Capitol early this morning, I had the privilege to give one final salute to a close friend & mentor. The life of embodied the American spirit and I will be forever grateful for his service, sacrifice, and leadership. God speed my friend.

    Truly humbling to unveil coins alongside National Commander Denise Rohan. We couldn’t have passed The 100th Anniversary Commemorative Coin Act without Commander Rohan’s advocacy.

    We can both ensure vets have access to high quality and timely healthcare and defend against cuts and privatization of VA. I stand ready to work with Republicans and Democrats to fix the VA MISSION Act funding shortfall in a way that doesn’t put other key VA programs at risk.

    Congress has until the end of FY2019 to find a solution to the VA MISSION Act funding shortage. Regrettably, multiple proposals offered by my fellow Democrats and me to fix the funding issues have yet to be advanced, leaving critical existing VA services at risk of cuts.

    As it stands, current budget caps won’t allow for the level of spending the VA MISSION Act calls for ($47B) without deep cuts to other vital VA programs, such as those that invest in VA infrastructure, direct patient care, suicide prevention, medical research, and job training.
