Republicans and Democrats have worked in good faith to move this bill with plenty of opportunities for debate along the way. Taking care of our veterans is a cost of war. While this eleventh hour attempt to block the bill is a thumb in the eye to millions of veterans and service members, I won't stop fighting for the veterans who are counting on this bill to pass before the end of the year." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
