WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Derrick Van Orden’s (WI-03) Veterans Education Transparency and Training (VETT) Act passed the House. The VETT Act simplifies the process for veterans enrolling in higher education by modifying educational form requirements and establishing an online portal through the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to serve as a comprehensive resource center for trainings available to veterans through School Certifying Officials (SCOs).

Prior to its passage, Rep. Van Orden spoke on the House Floor in support of the VETT Act.

Government Weaponization

The federal government is completely out of control. Unfortunately, most members of Congress are not interested in conducting oversight of the largest financial entity in the world. We are plundering and mortgaging our children’s future with reckless abandon. It is immoral, and this must be stopped.

That was just one of the issues I talked about as a featured speaker at the Oversight Project's Weaponization of Government Symposium on April 9.

Only American Flags in the People’s House

Two weeks ago, following the House passage of the multi-billion dollar Ukraine aid package, a handful of Members waved Ukrainian flags on the U.S. House Floor. This is wholly unacceptable. My 428 colleagues and I are Members of the United States House of Representatives, not the parliament of another nation. We cannot let our nation or our flag be disrespected like that again.
