  • As President Donald Trump and Elon Musk lay waste to scores of federal programs and the careers of thousands of government workers, Republicans on Capitol Hill have mostly kept their objections to themselves

The article from MSN discusses the backlash from Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill regarding proposed cuts to veterans' benefits as part of the broader budget negotiations. GOP members are particularly upset about potential reductions in funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), which they argue could negatively impact services and benefits for veterans. This reaction comes amidst discussions on the debt ceiling and federal spending, where some Democrats and the White House have suggested that all discretionary spending, including defense and veterans' programs, should be on the table for cuts. Republicans, however, are staunchly defending veterans' benefits, highlighting the moral obligation to support those who have served the country, and are using this issue to rally support against what they perceive as excessive or misguided spending cuts proposed by the opposing party.
