Schumer alongside Central NY veterans is demanding Trump stop these attacks, and he said he is leading the fight in the Senate to reverse the ‘DOGE’ cuts, increase investment and accountability at the VA. Last month, the Senate was able to advance a bipartisan FY26 Military Construction and Veterans Affairs budget bill that increases funding for VA medical care by $2.2 billion over FY25 levels. The Senate version of the bill also includes $52.7 billion for the Toxic Exposures Fund, created by the PACT Act, that provides funds for veterans suffering from toxic exposure, a $22 billion increase from what this fund received in FY25. </p>"}}
