Veterans deserve the best health care available. At a time when the VA is already understaffed, these layoffs will hurt veterans. Unacceptable.

Trump must not cut VA health care so that he can give tax breaks to Musk and other billionaires.

The VA must rescind this order.

98% of NIH grants that should have gone out this month, didn't. Despite court orders 'unfreezing' the funds, they are frozen. Biomedical research will grind to a halt. Clinical trials will end. All for no reason: the total impact on the US budget is miniscule

DOGE and Trump admin have hobbled at least 11 federal agencies *that have been investigating Musk's companies.*

The NLRB alone had 24 ongoing investigations into Tesla & others--but Trump fired top officials so now cases can't move forward.

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

When someone puts their life on the line to defend this country in uniform, we in turn, promise them health care after their service.

Trump froze all hiring at the VA at a time when the VA is experiencing a shortage of doctors & nurses. Unacceptable. Our veterans deserve better.
