All neurology appointments today.

The VA has done a great job staying on top of this category for me.

They have me currently seeing 3 different neurosurgeons, 1 neuromuscular specialist, and 1 neurologist in the private sector and the VA neurology team is coordinating and communicating everything that is going on.

The Veteran Affairs is going through some tough stuff right now. However, they are continuing to stay on top of things in a timely manner and are making sure vets get care when they need it.

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…

From the New York Times, "Trump and DOGE Propel VA Mental Health System into Turmoil"

"A chaotic restructuring order threatens to degrade services for veterans of wars in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan."

I have been invited to testify (virtually) at a hearing of the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs about firings at VA. The hearing will begin at 3:00pm Eastern on Wednesday, April 2. The hearing was organized by the Democratic committee members; although all members of the committee are invited to attend, the Republican members are not expected to show up. The hearing will be live-streamed on Twitter (x.com/SVACDems) and Facebook (facebook.com/SVACDems/).

And yes, I absolutely did let the committee know just what I thought of the fact that they were only streaming on corporate social media platforms controlled by people who support fascism.

"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.

For active, retired, and #disabled #military and #veterans interested in some/any news on #VA #HealthCare ...

According to conversations I had today at my regional VA clinic, #DOGE induced #firings or reductions or whatever-the-fuck you want to call them is squarely targeting #supervisors at the moment.

The numbers for my area's command block is 400 positions in total. This C-block covers 3 major cities, and there are 3 of these blocks in the state, with 1 larger, 1 smaller.
