“It is an insult to America's veterans that Congress would advance legislation threatening their earned benefits on Veterans Day, the very day our nation is supposed to honor their service and sacrifice … Playing political games with veterans’ benefits while avoiding public accountability is cowardly and dishonorable.” - VFW National Commander Cory Geisler vfw.org/media-and-events/lat… #VFW #HonorTheContract #VeteransBenefits #TCAVA #VeteransDay

Screw you in the earhole. You blocked Combat Wounded veterans from getting their full retirement. You don't get to garner support from us. Asshat. Pass the #MajorRichardStarAct then you come beg forgiveness from us for your arrogance.

No. This is hot garbage and the house did not pass this legitimately. The #MajorRichardStarAct passed 245 to 175 and the Speaker passed it by voice before the Democrats could call for votes to be counted! Utter garbage tactic by the Republicans. They are swine.

🚨 HUGE WIN: The House just PASSED the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act! After months of stall tactics, our heroes won. Combat pay, caregiver support, and real relief are finally moving. These men and women gave EVERYTHING. Next stop: the Senate. GET IT SIGNED! 🇺🇸

New Haven’s Veterans Day Ceremony featured music & memorials—tributes to all who have served & sacrificed. We’re the land of the free because we’re the home of the brave.

Of the five Republican Major Richard Star Act Discharge Petition signers: 2 lost reelection: Van Drew and Fitzpatrick. 2 lost primary elections: Mace (governor) and Massie (House). 1 won reelection: Anna Paulina Luna. That means four of the five will be leaving Congress in January 2027 We need everyone on deck!

This means that Takano is going to speak for an hour, then I believe they will vote on the CLEAN #MajorRichardStarAct If that vote goes the same way, and there's no reason why it shouldn't, that means that it will pass the House. Takano knows this, and is taking his time to attack TCAVA, because it is up for debate later. The goal is to pass the #MajorRichardStarAct and kill TCAVA.

Hey fellow veterans. On Veterans Day while Congress stalls the MRSA. This bitch thinks our wounded brothers and the families of the fallen don’t deserve a dime. She’s pissed a paralyzed veteran is getting full benefits. What a huge piece of shit.

Stand with the largest American Legion departments: Texas and California and support a clean MRSA, not TCAVA.

Ralph Norman did call me as he said he would, but he is not going to vote for the Major Richard Star Act because he says that the government doesn’t have the money to keep a promise to veterans wounded in combat. Veterans deserve to have their full benefits and Ralph only understands portions of this bill! No wonder we’re in the mess that we’re in. Saying “No” isn’t always right Ralph! @RepRalphNorman @RalphNorman

It may be Veterans Day, yet Congress is considering a bill that would cut veterans' disability benefits, setting the stage for future, deeper cuts. The VFW needs you to make your voice heard. 📞 Call the Capitol Switchboard at 202.224.3121 and ask to speak with your elected member of the House. Tell them: No to benefit cuts. NO to TCAVA. #VFW #HonorTheContract #AdvocacyInAction #TCAVA

Ranking Member @RepMarkTakano wants to wish ALL veterans and their families a happy Veterans Day! Your courage and strength in service are something we can never repay. But we promise to keep fighting for the benefits you are owed, each and every day.

These eleven Democratic Representatives missed a vote tonight. That can’t happen tomorrow on the clean Major Richard Star Act. We have to have everyone’s support!

Congress has a unique chance to pass major Veterans benefit legislation on Veterans Day. #HonorTheContract
VFW National HQ (@VFWHQ) profile pictureVFW National HQ@VFWHQNov 10
The VFW supports helping veterans. But not by taking earned benefits away from another generation. You don't protect one group of veterans by taking earned benefits away from another. #VFW #HonorTheContract #AdvocacyInAction #NoOnTCAVA #PassMajorRichardStarAct
