We have fewer Veterans Affairs employees than last year, and the department is delivering better care and better services. How? We put the right people in the right places to provide the services Veterans need.

New Hampshire is the only state in the contiguous United States without a full-service Veterans Affairs medical center. In response to President Trump’s executive order, we are developing a plan to ensure that is no longer the case.

We found nearly $2 billion in Veterans Affairs contracts that we’ll be canceling so we can redirect the funds back to Veterans health care and benefits. No more paying consultants to do things like make Power Point slides and write meeting minutes!

Yesterday, Secretary Kennedy and I signed a memorandum of understanding to explore whether psychedelic drugs might play a role in saving the lives of Veterans and others with serious mental illness. Proud to work for an administration that puts Veterans FIRST. 🇺🇸

Today we honored the names etched into the Vietnam Veterans Memorial through the humble act of washing the wall. It’s our way of saying welcome home and remembering their sacrifice. It’s also a reminder to those in the future, that if you don’t step up as well, this freedom we have, is not there.

I promised President Trump we’d put Veterans first, and as your Secretary, we're doing just that. From 260,000 backlog claims over 125 days to under 70,000- a 74% drop. Veterans deserve results, and we’re delivering. 🇺🇸

Veterans deserve better than 70-year old facilities. That’s why we're modernizing Veterans Affairs facilities with upgraded operating rooms, more patient capacity, and safer, more reliable infrastructure to improve the Veteran experience.

Veterans deserve a seamless transition from @DeptofDefense to Veterans Affairs. I met with @SecDef last week to sign a new agreement to improve the transition process for separating servicemembers and increase collaboration between our departments.

This morning, we announced Veterans Affairs has processed more than two million disability claims - faster than ever before. We're reducing our disability backlog and getting Veterans the answers they deserve quicker.

If you are a Veteran and you are struggling - hear me clearly. You are not taking help from someone else. Your buddy is covered and so are you. No one gets left behind. Not in uniform. Not after.

President Trump gave me one mission – take care of Veterans. I’m doing just that. From reducing the disability backlog to opening 33 new clinics to creating a National Center for Warrior Independence in LA for our homeless Veterans, we’re making sure our Veterans are getting the care and benefits they have earned.

I’m tired of hearing about what we GIVE to Veterans. They’re not given anything. Veterans have EARNED every bit of their benefits the minute they raised their right hand!

On the road in Dayton, OH today talking to the men and women serving our Veterans with Senator Jon Husted. Veterans kept their promise to America. We’re keeping ours by making sure VA is putting Veterans first and delivering the care and benefits they’ve earned.

From reducing the backlog of Veterans waiting for benefits, to opening 20 new health care facilities or providing shelter for tens of thousands of homeless Veterans, Veterans Affairs is making real progress during the second Trump Administration.
