"When asked if his concerns had been addressed, Barrett deflected, telling reporters he was excited the secretary had come to visit his district and was committed to his mission of improving the VA."

"Collins similarly deflected when asked how many employees had been fired and rehired as after two federal judges ordered the White House to reinstate more than 24,000 probationary employees let go across 18 government agencies.

“We’re following the courts’ orders,” he said."

"This piece contains graphic descriptions of trauma and suicide. If you are a veteran in crisis, please call or text 988 and press 1 to reach the Veterans Crisis Line. You are not alone.

My name is Kris Goldsmith. I’m a U.S. Army veteran, a suicide attempt survivor, and someone who’s spent the last 18 years fighting for the lives of my fellow veterans. What you’re about to read isn’t an academic article—it’s a warning. I’ve seen firsthand what happens when the federal government abandons those who served. I lived it. And now, I’m watching a new administration recreate the very conditions that nearly killed me."
Veteran lays out the potential for deadly impact as the chucklefucks in the Musk/Trump regime continue to degrade the Veterans Administration.
