"We have absolutely felt the impact of the chaos all around us. We’re already losing people."
Trump's VA cuts are disrupting routine visits, cancer trials and life-saving transplants.
And our Veterans are paying the price.

Trump's budget would cut almost $2.5 billion in funding dedicated to preventing flooding, removing contaminants like lead and ensuring communities have safe, reliable water.
This would not "Make America Healthy Again".
It would make us sicker. news.bloomberglaw.com/environment-...
There's no such thing as a $400 million "no-strings-attached" gift.
While working to slash Medicaid coverage for millions, Trump also celebrated Mother's Day by preparing to take the mother of all bribes.
He wants to sell our foreign policy and sell out our people.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, grandmas and mother-figures out there! If you haven’t heard it enough, thank you for everything you do to be the peace and calm in life’s daily chaos.
Mom to mom, we’re all doing our best—and we’re in this, together 💐
As if being a new parent wasn’t already tough enough, Trump’s tariffs are making the cost of trollers, cribs, car seats and toys skyrocket.
Families deserve better.
Shameful.
From helping Chicago kids with autism to becoming the first African American and woman named our nation's top librarian, Dr. Carla Hayden has dedicated her life to expanding access to knowledge.
She earned this role and has done an incredible job.
Only someone as incompetent as Hegseth would brag about ending a program that Trump signed into law and falsely claim it’s a "woke" Biden initiative.
Every combatant commander—including Trump's current Joint Chiefs Chairman—agrees this program makes us more lethal.
Smh.
$90 million.
Trump fired thousands of Veterans to "save money," but wants taxpayers to pay $90 million for a military parade on his birthday. What a disgrace.
Illinoisans can be proud that the first American Pope calls our state home.
I'm hopeful that Pope Leo XIV will build on the leadership of Pope Francis and continue his push for a more accepting, inclusive world as so many look to him for hope, love and guidance.
If you shoot straight, hate the enemy and want to protect and defend our country—you should be allowed to serve.
And as DOGE cuts continue, the VA Employee Fairness Act would restore collective bargaining rights for VA health care professionals so they can speak out freely against any problems they’re facing at the VA.
This Admin cannot continue to slash and burn the VA in the dark.
VA Secretary Collins may promise to rehire VCL workers he wrongfully fired, but here's the bottom line: He should be transparent with Congress.
The Protecting Veterans in Crisis Act would require him to report to Congress before any cuts to VCL are made.
BREAKING: Today, I'm introducing two bills to help protect our nation’s VA workers—including nurses, physicians and Veterans Crisis Line workers—and the Veterans they serve against Trump's ongoing attacks.
The Protecting Veterans in Crisis Act and the VA Employee Fairness Act 🇺🇸
Trump's heartless budget cuts medical research funding to the bone—funding that helps discover breakthroughs in cancer, Alzheimer’s and more.
Trump will say he's "saving money."
But this could cost lives.
Trump's layoffs at the VA were so reckless, they erroneously fired Veteran Crisis Line workers.
That. Never. Should. Have. Happened.
Tomorrow, I'm introducing legislation to protect this lifeline that supports our heroes in their hour of need.
‼️Starting tomorrow, Americans will need to present a REAL ID when going through airport security for commercial flights within the United States.
Check TSA’s website for identification requirements before your upcoming travel ⬇️
Absolutely shameful.
Trump's trans military service ban hurts our military readiness, makes our military's recruitment challenges even worse and disrespects Americans who are brave enough to serve in uniform.
This will make our military less lethal and Americans less safe.
Jan has been a champion for Illinois and progressive values for decades in Congress. I couldn't be more proud to call her a colleague and a friend—her leadership and her advocacy will be sorely missed. Congratulations @schakowsky.house.gov on your well-earned retirement!
Reposted byTammy Duckworth
Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) told "Face The Nation" that she expects Mike Waltz to have a "brutal hearing" for U.N. ambassador after his surprise departure last week from his post as President Trump's national security adviser. https://cbsn.ws/44RpcRh
Mike Waltz is failing up.
He’s being rewarded for an egregious national security breach by being tapped for UN Ambassador—a slap in the face to the troops he put in greater danger with SignalGate.
I’ll be voting no.
