Friends, fellow Americans: Our government must effectively serve its people. Yet, massive job cuts have been enacted, weakening vital functions across the board. To my fellow veterans, this hits close to home with cuts at the VA undermining services we earned – a profound violation of trust connected to our oath to the Constitution. But this lack of respect for public service impacts everyone who depends on a functioning government. Whether you wore the uniform or not, if you value accountability and effective governance, let's stand together against Trump and demand restoration.
