ABC News

🚨 TRAGIC WEEKEND RAISES HARD QUESTIONS
Two veteran-involved shootings in just days.
How can we justify cutting care when our heroes are crying out for help?

Were too many cuts made too fast—without weighing the human cost?
This is what happens when policy outruns compassion.
When budgets take priority over lives.

Our veterans deserve respect.
They deserve the best care.
They deserve full support for the sacrifices they’ve made.

No, June isn’t Veterans Month. That’s November. This false claim spreads to erase Pride. Honor vets, yes—but don’t weaponize them to silence LGBTQ+ voices. #PrideMonth #FactsMatter #VeteransDeserveBetter
“Trump’s VA secretary can’t defend mass layoffs that threaten the care our veterans depend on. ‘Get used to it’ is an insult to those who sacrificed for this country. Disgraceful. #VeteransDeserveBetter #TrumpFail #Resistwww.google.com/url?q=https:...

This is the situation now at VA hospitals all over the country after DOGE cuts and firings. This admin does not give a shit about veterans! #FuckDOGE #FuckMAGA #ProtectVeterans #VeteransDeserveBetter
"In a Boston V.A. hospital, six social workers are conducting phone and telehealth visits with veterans from a single, crowded room, clinicians say. In Kansas City, providers are planning patient care while facing each other across narrow, cafeteria-style tables in a large, open space, according to staff members.

And in South Florida, psychiatric nurses have been treating veterans with mental health conditions in a hallway near a bathroom, sitting down with them in a makeshift medical bay jury-rigged out of filing cabinets and a translucent screen.

“People walking by can hear everything that’s going on,” said Bill Frogameni, an acute care psychiatric nurse at the Miami V.A. hospital referring to the patient intake setup in a V.A. outpatient facility in Homestead, Fla., outside Miami."

Trump’s V.A. Squeezes Mental Health Care in Crowded Offices, Raising Privacy Concerns

Clinicians at the Department of Veterans Affairs say the president’s return-to-office order is forcing many of them to work from makeshift spaces where sensitive conversations can be overheard.

Trump is shutting down a program that saved 17,000+ veterans from losing their homes—just to undo a Biden policy. The VA’s 2.5% loan rescue ends May 1. No plan to replace it. Shameful doesn’t even begin to cover it. #VeteransDeserveBetter #TrumpWatch #Resist

“Trump went back to the golf course again this morning. Our veterans risked everything for this country, but this administration is cutting VA jobs and funneling millions to Trump’s golf retreats. Shameful. Where is Elon fake DOGE in this 🇺🇸 tax money? #TrumpWatch #VeteransDeserveBetter #GOPFails

“Trump’s golf trips in Florida have already cost millions, but now veterans are getting the shaft? DOGE’s reckless cuts to the VA—slashing 80,000 jobs—are a direct attack on those who served. Luxury 4 the elite, neglect 4 our heroes #TrumpWatch #VeteransDeserveBetter #GOPFails #PrioritiesAreAllWrong

A 5-time draft dodger who calls veterans “suckers”& “losers” insults those who have sacrificed so much for our country. The cuts to the VA are unacceptable and jeopardize the well-being of our heroes. Veterans deserve care, respect, and support—not contempt. #VeteransDeserveBetter #RespectOurHeroes
