This week, I joined VA colleagues and Optum Serve as we kick off Community Care Network Next Generation Dental. Together, we're working to ensure Veterans have access to more consistent, reliable, and high-quality dental care across the country.
Happy National Veterans Small Business Week! #Veteran-owned businesses keep our communities strong.

This National Veterans and Military Families Month, we honor those who serve and the families who support them.
Current U.S. military members and their dependents can receive a free annual Military Pass to explore national parks and other federal public lands.

It was an honor to join Dr. Jean Glossa at #HMACon2026 to discuss the future of VA’s Community Care program. Veterans deserve timely, high-quality care. Combining VA scale with community innovation will help ensure those who have served can access the care they need.
The future of VA Community Care depends on strong industry partnerships. At #HMACon2026, Hon. Richard Topping & Dr. Jean Glossa highlighted how combining VA scale with private innovation expands high-quality care access for Veterans.

From a secure border and historic drops in crime, to the largest tax cuts in American history and much more, President Trump's second term has achieved more than any Administration in American history.
And we're just getting started. The Golden Age of America continues.

It's always special to spend time with the "hometown team" in Westborough!
Hearing directly from #Veterans helps keep our mission front and center. Thank you to VFW Post 9013 for the invitation and warm welcome last month!

Veterans deserve timely decisions on the benefits they’ve earned. That’s why we’re adding more employees to process claims, reduce wait times, and get Veterans the answers they deserve.

As we begin Veterans Month, I’m reflecting on the honor of laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier last year. A powerful reminder that freedom comes at a cost, and that some of our nation’s heroes never made it home. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten. This month and every month, we honor those who answered the call to serve. 🇺🇸

A San Francisco Federal Reserve paper recently found that the influx of unauthorized immigrants under the radical left accounted for 20% of rent growth during the 2021-2024 Bidenflation surge.
By contrast, President Trump’s immigration enforcement policies are producing the opposite effect. State-level data show a strong association between increased immigration enforcement and more affordable rents.
@POTUS will always put American families FIRST.
Did you know the Dayton VA campus once had an underground tunnel system?
