Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senator Angus King (I-ME) and members of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee criticized the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for suspending essential services for veterans during the government shutdown. In a letter to VA Secretary Doug Collins, they highlighted concerns over the lack of communication with Congress, asserting that the VA has sufficient multi-year funding to sustain operations.
The lawmakers expressed that the VA’s refusal to respond to congressional inquiries harms veterans who seek assistance, stating, "Every single day, veterans and their families come to our offices for help." They also noted potential violations of the Hatch Act related to the use of federal funds for politically charged messages amidst the shutdown.
