Trump’s EO applies to depts & agencies that employ 67% of fed employees & to 75% of unionized fed WKRs. ~1/3: fed WKRs: vets.

Largest Fed union: “fighting back” against ETrump - filing grievances to block Trump policies. VA’s unions have filed 70 nat & loc grievances over his policies —an aver >1/day.

It's explicit pol retaliation. WKRs at the VA -pushed back on #TrumpMusk’s orders to reduce staffing🚨*svcs to vets in need of the HC svcs -VA provides.

#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.

"DOGE fired the supervisor who approves new oil projects in Osage County, OK. It basically stopped new permitting, cutting against Trump's own drill, baby, drill mantra. Musk's team had to quickly scramble & rehire."

#Musk's #DOGE is fraudulent & dangerous. The #firings are out-of-control. Whether it's AI or human error: lives, livelihoods, & the economy: suffering.

How about the rehiring in the #CDC, #NIH, #NSF, NOAA, #FDA, #VA...

Just got off a call with a colleague and her friend who's a VA nurse for the past 18 years didn't receive a paycheck for the first time ever. I guess the agency had some excuse but holy shit. Here we go....

I was suspicious that Lutnick's "hey if you miss a social security check, who cares?" comment last week was signaling something coming. And what ever happened to the debt ceiling issue anyway? Do they think they can avoid it by just not paying our bills?

Senate Dems are planning “shadow hearings” in the coming weeks to highlight Dept of Vet Affairs staffing plans & policy changes that they insist will severely curtail services for vets.

“Now more than ever, we need to sound the alarm & hear directly from the vets & VA employees impacted by Musk-Trump’s heartless & heartbreaking cuts, freezes, & #firings,” Sen Veterans’ Affairs CMTE ranking member R Blumenthal, Mon.

Dem leaders 💙are stepping up, esp with the #VA.

"Among the most consequential orders is the requirement that thousands of mental health providers, including many who were hired for fully remote positions, now work full time from federal office space. This is a jarring policy reversal for the V.A., which pioneered the practice of virtual health care two decades ago as a way to reach isolated veterans, long before the pandemic..."

"2 sources have told me that the Dept of VA payroll system (VATAS) has been🚨down since Fri. It's operating in 'Emergency Mode' only & will have to resort to straight time cards to get ppl their base pay on Fri. No explanation or timeline of when it will be back up again. Everyone is wondering what caused it to crash & none of my sources have ever heard of it doing so before."

"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."
nytimes.com/2025/03/22/us/poli

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"
