The President's recent move to undermine our national security, block pay for troops, and deny veterans their earned benefitsparticularly those suffering from conditions associated with their exposure to Agent Orangewas nothing more than a political stunt. I'm glad that both Democrats and Republicans came together as they have for more than 50 years to do what's right on behalf of our national defense and military. 1 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z
