Summary

Trump’s mass federal layoffs, including over 1,000 VA employees, have disproportionately impacted veterans, both as workers and beneficiaries.

With nearly 30% of federal employees being veterans, job losses threaten their economic stability and could delay essential VA services.

While VA Secretary Doug Collins claims the cuts will not harm healthcare or benefits, Democratic lawmakers warn of staffing shortages, halted services, and longer wait times.

Veterans and advocates fear lasting damage to the VA system, with research and critical patient care already disrupted.

    I don’t know if this is true but I’ve heard that elections have consequences. Probably just some more woke shit though.
