Friend, earlier this week I spoke with Jake Tapper on CNN about Donald Trump, Elon Musk and DOGE’s sloppy cuts to our government. They are a disaster for Veterans and slap in the face to all who were brave enough to have served.

Trump and Musk fired thousands of Veterans across the government and cut more than 2,000 jobs at the VA alone—actions that will not make things “more efficient” as they claim, but will instead make it harder for Veterans to get the care they need.

They even cut Veterans working at the Veterans Crisis Line—public servants doing the incredibly difficult work of supporting our heroes in their darkest hour. I pushed to force them to reinstate these wrongly fired workers, and I’m proud that our advocacy made them do just that—but far too many other Veterans are still left out in the cold, without a paycheck, without a job.

It’s unacceptable.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk do not know the first thing about sacrifice and service. But our Veterans sure as hell do.

That’s why I’m introducing legislation to protect the Veterans Crisis Line—asking the VA to provide data about the effects of these firing and to notify Congress before any additional layoffs.

I will never stop fighting for our heroes, no matter who’s in the White House.

Friend, I’m counting on you to be my partner in this work. It will not be easy going up against Trump and Musk, but I hope you agree that supporting our servicemembers and Veterans is worth the effort.

Friend, I’m working with elected officials at all levels of government to hold Donald Trump and Elon Musk accountable for their reckless attacks on Veterans. If you can, please give $5 to my campaign to fuel this important work.
