Not lost on this reader is Howell #Michigan is a sundown town with local Nazis throwing a street fit because of a play about Anne Frank.

Howell is ALSO known as a Michigan original KKK shitty Nazi-town. Look it up.

Coincidence? Nope.

"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."

#DOGE also announced drastic cuts at depts that provide critical #SocialServices including #VeteransAffairs [#VA], which administers #healthcare for #veterans, & the #SocialSecurity Administration, which sends out checks to #retired, #disabled & #widowed Americans [money Americans put into the #SSA out of their own paychecks].

#OPM …has laid off >200 of its own employees & allowed >400 to *opt in* to *voluntary* exit programs since #Trump took office…

"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.

"From layoffs at the Department of Veterans Affairs to a Pentagon purge of archives that documented diversity in the military, veterans have been acutely affected by Trump’s actions. And with the Republican president determined to continue slashing the federal government, the burden will only grow on veterans, who make up roughly 30% of the federal workforce and often tap government benefits they earned with their military service."

"Clinicians warn that the changes will degrade mental #health treatment at the #VA., which already has severe staffing shortages...

The #DOGE cuts have already sparked #chaos & confusion within the sprawling agency, which provides care to more than nine million #veterans. The #Trump admn has said it plans to eliminate 80,000 VA #jobs, and a first round of terminations has halted some #research studies & slashed support staff."

Text from article: In more than three dozen interviews, current and recently terminated mental health workers at the V.A. described a period of rapid, chaotic behind-the-scenes change. Many agreed to speak on the condition of anonymity because they want to continue to serve veterans, and feared retribution from the Trump administration. Clinicians warn that the changes will degrade mental health treatment at the V.A., which already has severe staffing shortages. Some expect to see a mass exodus of sought-after specialists, like psychiatrists and psychologists. They expect wait times to increase, and veterans to eventually seek treatment outside the agency. “Psychotherapy is a very private endeavor,” said Ira Kedson, the president of AFGE local 310 at the Coatesville V.A. Medical Center in Pennsylvania. “It’s supposed to be a safe place, where people can talk about their deepest, darkest fears and issues.” Veterans, he said, trust that what they tell therapists is confidential. “If they can’t trust us to do that, I think that a sizable number of them will withdraw from treatment,” he said.

"a new return-to-office policy ... mental health providers... found no way to ensure patient #privacy... arrangement violates #ethics regulations & #medical privacy laws. At the same time, layoffs of at least 1,900 probationary employees are thinning out already stressed services that assist #veterans"
