One year ago, the #PACTAct was signed into law—finally delivering generations of toxic-exposed veterans the care and benefits they’ve earned. Chairman @SenatorTester fought tooth-and-nail alongside veterans to get this law done and is holding VA accountable as they implement it.

Connecting veterans to good-paying jobs is an important part of tackling veterans homelessness. That's why @SenatorTester wrote his Building Solutions for Homeless Veterans Act, which is delivering the resources needed to help homeless veterans find meaningful employment.

In order to address the unique challenges facing veterans' health care in rural America, VA’s research needs to include rural vets, too. That's why I'm continuing to press VA for updates on their approved, first-of-its-kind research site in Montana.

Rural veterans must be included in VA research. Chairman @SenatorTester is pushing VA for updates on its first research site in Montana, including if it will include mental health research to improve rural veterans’ health care and health outcomes. ⬇️

The @AFSAHQ has been an incredible partner in our work to uphold America's promise to our servicemembers and veterans, including through our ongoing fight to pass my Major Richard Star Act. It's an honor to receive their L. Mendel Rivers Award of Excellence.

NEWS: Chairman @SenatorTester sent a letter yesterday demanding VA reverse its “unjustifiable” decision to cut staffing at VHA, especially in Montana and rural America, where veterans face unique challenges accessing their earned health care and life-saving mental health care.

Today we celebrate 247 years since our nation adopted the Stars and Stripes as our flag. Centuries later, it still represents the freedoms and democracy our veterans and servicemembers fight for, and embodies the nation’s commitment to supporting those who serve. Happy Flag Day.

Veterans and servicemembers who risked their lives to defend our country deserve quality health care options when they start or grow their families. That’s why Chairman @SenatorTester just voted for legislation to protect and expand veterans' and servicemembers’ access to IVF.

Women have answered the call to serve throughout American history, and today marks the 76th anniversary of women rightfully earning the opportunity to permanently serve in our armed forces. Where women can, women will.

📢PSA VETS: If you’re one of the 2.2 million veterans who submitted an intent to file for your PACT Act benefits before August 14, 2023, be sure to submit your PACT claim within the one-year window to receive extra backdated benefits.

As the number of women veterans grows, the health care VA offers them must also continue to grow. Two years ago today, Chairman @SenatorTester ’s bipartisan MAMMO Act became law, expanding veterans’ access to high-quality breast cancer screenings and lifesaving cancer care.

10 years ago, Sharla and I had the honor of visiting Normandy to honor the hundreds of thousands of Allied servicemembers who stormed its beaches during WWII. Today, on the 80th anniversary, it’s just as important we remember the bravery and sacrifice of the Greatest Generation.

VA needs to continue hiring mental health providers—especially in rural areas where veterans need them most. Chairman @SenatorTester is leading the effort to press VA to continue hiring mental health providers in rural America.

The PACT Act is helping pay the cost of war for ONE MILLION+ veterans exposed to toxins in conflicts around the globe. “If you’re not going to take care of our veterans after they have come home and served this country…then we shouldn’t send them to begin with.”- @SenatorTester

VA recently approved its one millionth PACT Act claim—and that’s a big damn deal! But we've got more folks to reach. If you and your family may qualify for benefits under this law, be sure to check into them with VA and learn more at
