Last night, I joined my #SOTU guest, Kristen Fenty at the #WidowsTaxAxed Reception. It was an honor to celebrate the repeal of the Widow's Tax with Gold Star Families. I will continue fighting to ensure these families are treated with the empathy and care that they deserve. pic.twitter.com/NTEGUf6sG4

Study shows 25 % of women veterans were exposed to trauma, which includes both sexual harassment and sexual assault, at V.A. Medical Centers. House Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Mark Takano calls findings, "unacceptable." #13NewsNow pic.twitter.com/UHaPhk02Ny

In other news, the House today passed the PAWS for Veterans Therapy Act that, among other things, would allow VA to pay for service dogs for vets with #PTSD.

I just spoke on the House floor to urge my colleagues to vote for the PAWS For Veterans Therapy Act today. This important bipartisan legislation helps veterans experiencing post-traumatic stress recover and return to civilian life by pairing them with service dogs. pic.twitter.com/hhiFIldAlk

#WomenVetsTaskForce Chair @RepBrownley said it best: it is unacceptable to re-traumatize #MST survivors-- just so they can get the benefits they earned. pic.twitter.com/PXXUvxT0FK

Survivors also experience barriers when seeking treatment. Many victims who report their assault receive harsh discharges-- preventing them from getting key VA healthcare. Even if eligible, the VA benefits process is often traumatizing for #MST survivors.

VA is supposed to be a safe place for veterans to receive treatment, but too often women veterans face catcalls and harassment within VA facilities. Read one woman veteran’s experience here: jezebel.com/he-was-implyin…

Once again, I wish to say to survivors: we believe you, and we are committed to enabling safe and welcoming access to the resources that you need. In Congress, I will continue to work to ensure you get the support you deserve.

Sexual harassment and assault is widespread in the military-- 1 in 4 women veterans have experienced sexual harassment, denigration of service, or other hostile behavior from male veterans at VA facilities and many face retaliation for reporting. hsrd.research.va.gov/publications/v…

VA is one of the top service providers in the world for survivors of Military Sexual Trauma but veterans don’t always know what resources are available. That’s why @VetAffairsDems and the #WomenVetsTaskForce are examining VA’s support for #MST survivors. bit.ly/36ZZZTf

#FactCheck: President Trump’s “work for veterans” includes allowing outside groups, with no ties to the veteran community, to influence VA policy - all from the convenience of their exclusive Mar-A-Lago club. #SOTU
