Text SIGN PKCUTG to 50409 — I am a veteran, and I’m writing to advocate for a treatment – medical massage therapy (MMT) – that has greatly benefited me and other veterans at a lower cost to the VA than other treatments. MMT reduces my pain, has reduced my dependence on opioids and other pain medications, helps me to sleep better, improves my mood, helps me to move better, and allows me to perform simple tasks around the house more easily. Most importantly, unlike other forms of prescription pain management, MMT works to reduce the scourge of opioid use, which often results in a dangerous and even deadly addiction to prescription painkillers. Unfortunately, shortly after Veterans Day, no less, my medical massage therapist told me that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has been underpaying all massage therapists in the Community Care Network (CCN) by applying inapplicable Medicare discounting and bundling rules to billings. These rules generate up to a 40% discount on one hour of MMT, resulting in a rate that is below the cost to deliver the care, resulting in many massage therapists quitting the program. Ultimately, veterans like me will now lose access to this life changing treatment. I urgently request that you work on behalf of all veterans to reverse the VA’s decision for MMT, a critical non-opioid, non-surgical, cost-effective treatment for veterans in pain. Otherwise, the program cannot survive. Thank you in advance for your attention to this important matter.

Text SIGN PVALBR to 50409 — When the Trump administration promised compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the American people were told to expect sunlight. Instead, the Department of Justice delivered darkness by design. The DOJ’s release was not a good-faith effort to comply with the law. It was a calculated act of obstruction that violated a clear statute, defied congressional authority, and inflicted renewed harm on survivors of one of the most notorious child sex trafficking operations in modern history. The Act is not ambiguous. It requires the DOJ to release all unclassified Epstein-related records in its possession by a fixed deadline, in a searchable format. Not phases. Not partial dumps. Not excessive redactions. Yet the DOJ labeled its production a “first phase,” a concept Congress never authorized and the law does not allow. What followed confirmed bad faith. Entire documents were blacked out. Court-ordered grand jury materials were rendered unreadable. Long-public filings were recycled to pad page counts. The searchable database required by law did not function. These failures were not technical. They were intentional. Even more disturbing, the DOJ admitted it applied victim-level protections to “politically exposed persons” and wealthy individuals connected to Epstein—shielding the powerful under the guise of privacy. Congress explicitly rejected that rationale when it passed this law. The selective nature of the release made the motive unmistakable. Certain figures were highlighted while references to others—particularly those connected to Donald Trump—were aggressively obscured. Survivors deserved truth, not narrative management. This is no longer merely a transparency dispute. It is a constitutional crisis of enforcement. Attorney General Pam Bondi and other DOJ officials knowingly ignored statutory deadlines, withheld required records, and defied court orders. That conduct meets the threshold for contempt of Congress, obstruction, and impeachable offenses. The Constitution does not permit executive officials to nullify laws they dislike. Congress must act immediately by: • Issuing subpoenas for all Epstein-related records, including draft indictments and withheld investigative materials • Initiating contempt proceedings against DOJ officials who defied the Act • Opening impeachment inquiries into Attorney General Bondi and any officials responsible for noncompliance • Referring potential criminal obstruction to appropriate authorities This law exists because institutional failure once protected a predator. Allowing its violation would repeat that failure. Survivors deserved accountability on the deadline Congress set. Justice delayed is justice denied—and continued silence is not an option. Congress must now enforce its own law.
