Unite For Veterans is concerned by recent reports that the VA is eliminating tens of thousands of positions — including doctors, nurses, and mental health providers. Staffing capacity matters for veteran care. We’re watching this closely. Full statement: www.unite4veterans.org/press/vets-v...

Veterans served shoulder-to-shoulder with Afghans who saved American lives. America promised to protect them. Our promise is a moral obligation, a national security imperative, & essential to the veterans who served with them. We must reaffirm our commitment to all who served.

Patrolling our streets is NOT what our brave men and women in uniform signed up for; we support our troops and their oath to our Constitution. Share if you agree ⬇️ share.protectdemocracy.org/s/LlWesuT4

We are pleased to see members of Congress demand answers from Doug Collins and the VA. Non-citizens who work for the VA take care of veterans no differently than citizens. At a time when VA staffing is down, they are needed more than ever. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We have a message for ICE... History remembers what we do and there is always accountability eventually. That's not a prediction, it's a fact.

Coalition member @joeplenzler.bsky.social's latest substack is clear -- the U.S. military should not murder civilians. Why? ⬇️ substack.com/inbox/post/1...

Claim sharks are turning our earned benefits into their business model. The problem isn’t that vets need help — it’s that Congress and VA let profiteers fill the gap and charge us five-figure “fees” for something that should be free. @thewarhorsenews.bsky.social thewarhorse.org/veterans-aff...

We warned that a "manufactured war" on our streets would put troops at risk. Today, two WV Guardsmen were shot in DC. Escalating domestic militarization doesn't make us safer; it puts citizen soldiers in the crosshairs. Stop the stunts. Bring them home. #NoWarOnOurStreets https://bit.ly/484rFJr

Our thoughts are with the service members who were harmed today, and their families We don't know what motivated this senseless act, but one thing is clear – if the National Guard had not been deployed when they weren’t needed, this would not have happened www.chamberlainnetwork.us/the-report/s...

Veterans from every branch are speaking out. Senator Mark Kelly is being threatened for reminding troops their oath is to the Constitution, not a president. This isn’t justice. It’s intimidation. Watch the full video here: youtube.com/shorts/0-sa6jp6pEk

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is going on. The Pentagon is launching a review into a Navy Captain for reminding troops of their legal duty. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is running a political attack. This isn't about the law; it's about intimidating anyone who speaks out. https://bit.ly/3XcMJY3

The Pentagon has opened an investigation into Sen. Mark Kelly (a retired Navy captain) and is weighing whether to recall him into the military so he can be punished under the UCMJ. AP has the full story here: apnews.com/article/pent... This is not normal — and here’s why it matters. 1/

TCN condemns the President’s decision to answer a message about lawful orders with claims of “sedition” and calls for execution. The President must not use his position of authority to promote political violence against those who disagree with him. www.chamberlainnetwork.us/the-report/t...

Yesterday, coalition members @chamberlainvets.bsky.social and @commondefense.bsky.social, went to Capitol Hill to talk to Senators and Representatives to ask them to assert their authority to pull the National Guard from the streets of our cities. @aclu.org davisvanguard.org/2025/11/trum...

Deploying the National Guard to American cities without a real emergency is a misuse of power. The Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) has asked Sec. Hegseth to come and answer questions about this. We want to know when he is going to talk to our representatives. https://bit.ly/4pkwO5Z

Thank you, Theodore R. Johnson for laying out the complexity of veterans benefits. As we said earlier, the Washington Post's recent series left a lot out. Johnson is filling in some of those blanks to help us all. Thank you for your service. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Thank you General Honore for your service and for speaking out. Your words hit home for many of us who do not want to see the military used as political pawns. Our National Guard should not be policing our cities. https://on.msnbc.com/3JWRrpG

New single by @dropkickmurphys.com just dropped. Helluva Veterans Day tribute, filmed IN UKRAINE. Watch and share. And BZ to all who wore the uniform—and who still stand for freedom. "Who'll Stand With Us?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3rt...

They fought for our freedom, but now some of those same veterans are being torn from their families and deported. This is not how we honor their service. On #VeteransDay, we demand justice for our heroes. 🇺🇸

This Veterans Day, as we do every day, we honor and celebrate veterans and we work to fight for their healthcare, their jobs, and the country they stepped up to serve. #VeteransDay #Veterans

Why is ICE wearing masks? "The masks were a way for officers to opt out—to wall off the political complexities of their work or, for some, the moral ones." That's not a good reason and it leads to distrust in everyone in uniform. https://bit.ly/3WNzGMs

Sec. Hegseth has fired roughly two dozen generals and admirals in less than a year — without cause, against advice, and in response to partisan social media attacks. The result: a breakdown in the apolitical norms that hold the officer corps together. https://nyti.ms/4nLpjUi

There are many different forces being deployed across the US, particularly in cities. It is important to #KnowtheDifference between these forces. The National Guard and ICE are not the same. They have different missions. https://nyti.ms/3WoR2Px

From this article by Brian Todd @cnn.com: "Mental health care providers at four facilities have told CNN that... the VA is now pressing them to stop one-on-one sessions at the end of the allotted series, and more broadly reduce the number of patients who get this long-term care."

Veterans being denied the psychological care they need, often directly tied to their service on behalf of this country, is so wrong. The purpose of the VA is to care for those who served and in the ways they need to be treated. We must speak out. https://cnn.it/3L0tvC4

Dependents of disabled vets and survivors of the fallen are missing their October GI Bill checks due to a VA tech failure—while the hotline that could help is shut down. For many, this puts rent and tuition at risk. @starsandstripes.bsky.social https://bit.ly/4oq3c6L

Adm. Alvin Holsey, is leaving his job as head of the U.S. Southern Command, which oversees all operations in Central and South America. He has been in his role for less than a year and has had a 37-year career in the US Navy. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/u...

Americans know the National Guard. The National Guard are your neighbors. They are members of your community. When deployed, they are there to help the community, not harm them.

We are concerned that @washingtonpost.com recent articles on #VAFraud misrepresent the veteran community & cast disabled veterans in a negative light. We fear they will be justify further erosions to services for veterans who have sacrificed so much for us. 🧵 www.unite4veterans.org/press/vets-r...

Do you know the difference between the National Guard and ICE? The National Guard are your neighbors. They are members of your community. When deployed, they are there to help the community, not harm them.

Members of our network are honoring #ConstitutionDay today by retaking their oaths. In this video, Cliff Gilmore, retakes his oath and reiterates his support for the Constitution, the foundation of our democracy. #EveryonesConstitution youtu.be/adL8kQNiTJc?...

We strongly condemn the recent decision by the Trump Administration to cap the size of the VA workforce and eliminate tens of thousands of jobs. It's pulling doctors, nurses, & mental health providers out of the system veterans rely on for healthcare. www.unite4veterans.org/press/vets-c...

This is a new Labor Day for veterans. Earlier this month the VA terminated its federal union contracts leaving over 350,000 employees without union protection. And moving one more step toward privatizing veteran care. @membrich.bsky.social @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The West Virginia National Guard is being sent to D.C. against the wishes of the local government. One state is, in effect, occupying another for partisan politics. We cannot allow the military to be politicized like this. Our Republic is at stake.

Today is the anniversary of the fall of Kabul & the Afghan evacuation. To mark it, 2 of our members @itsapurdy.bsky.social and @shawnjvandiver.bsky.social compare how we used the military to save Afghans vs. how its being used now to hurt migrants. www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/08/15/o...

Thank you, Dr. Hamilton, for your words in @thetennessean.bsky.social. You are right, "The VA is a special part of our healthcare system. Every veteran who walks through its doors once took an oath to defend our country." We also agree that. . . 🧵 www.tennessean.com/story/opinio...

D.C. is seeing its lowest crime in 30 years. Local leaders didn’t ask for help. Yet the President seized control of the police and sent in the Guard—because chaos on camera serves him better than calm in our communities. TCN’s statement: www.chamberlainnetwork.us/the-report/t...

That the VA has lost 2,000 registered nurses since the start of this fiscal year, along with approximately 1,300 medical assistants, 1,100 nursing assistants and licensed practical nurses, 800 doctors, 500 social workers and 150 psychologists is unacceptable. 🧵

We condemn VA Secretary Doug Collins for ending union contracts covering more than 400,000 VA employees and believe the action is a retaliation against those who spoke out against rural facility closures, staffing cuts, and privatization schemes. #veterans www.unite4veterans.org/press/vets-b...

What the Air Force just did is wrong. It’s cowardly. And it breaks faith with every person who’s ever worn the uniform. They told a transgender airmen with 15–18 years of service they could retire early — then yanked it away. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...
