Happy Russell Vought??? “We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected...When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains."
On the HHS Leadership call today: 1 employee from CMS (Center for Medicare/Medicaid Service) and 2 employees from SSA (Social Security Administration) have died by suicide after their firing.

so much of yesterday’s future was built with the VA, NIH, and other federal funded research and protections the current admin is destroying because they don’t care if they make our future worse

#FAFO. These cuts threaten the quality of care our #Veterans receive and undermine the mission we at the #VHA are dedicated to. It's crucial to stay informed and advocate for policies that support our veterans and the professionals who serve them.

Veterans know, but for others VA research has existed for 100 years and led to:
*First trials of TB treatment
*Trial proving treating high blood pressure saves lives
*Development of CT scan
*Demonstrating link between smoking and lung cancer
*Development of the cardiac pacemaker
All at risk :(

As a VA physician researcher, I see how policies impact Veteran care and VA staff. We must push for policies that strengthen, not weaken, the workforce serving those who served. Speak up. Contact your reps. Support your colleagues. Veterans deserve better. #VAHealthcare #FederalWorkers
