Rep. Ted Lieu @reptedlieu.bsky.social

WOW. An independent VA audit proves how bad the Trump Admin is treating veterans: Every VA medical center has a SEVERE staffing shortage—up 50% from FY24. This is why we started the House Dems Veterans Caucus. We must fight back against Trump's quiet gutting of veterans' care.

This explains why it's been 3 days and I haven't even been called to schedule.

DISGUSTING!! My father was a reluctant WWII vet. He did what he had to do, as did many other young men. He got a lot of care at VA over the years. Who is going to want to join the mitary if we don't care for our precious veterans?

Refer to Republicans as REGRESSIVES, and their policies as REGRESSIVE.

Thank you Rep Lieu. VA is now offering ICE jobs to Veterans; beyond insulting, disgusting.

Yesterday Minneapolis VA, which lost most anesthesia staff, voted to allow nurses to provide anesthesia for major surgeries without physician oversite. Veterans, beware!!

All the Vets should go to Walter Reed and tell them President Trump is paying for my visit

How exactly will yet another Caucus fight back? Write a sternly worded letter?

Any veteran that votes for Republicans in the near future, is voting against their own survival. What the GOP is doing to our vets is nothing short of criminal!

Haven’t they said they’re still looking to reduce VA staff by 20%?!

I'd like to see our legislators who are honoring their oaths call out those who took the same oath but have ignored it for years.

I’ve experienced it first hand. My VA doesn’t have a diagnostic machine. My radiology files were sent to the wrong community care provider. I’m high risk, so I ended up picking up a disc myself to hand carry to the correct facility… …4 weeks later.

Rep. Lieu, they did the same thing to Social Security. It was already underfunded and understaffed *before* Trump and DOGE fired 1/3 of its workers and flattened its budget. Anything that serves Americans who EARNED these benefits is being destroyed to prepare for privatization.
