We’ve long suspected the Trump admin was using AI to identify & eliminate policy guidance that doesn't align with their extremist agenda – and we just got proof.
The Dept of Veterans Affairs used AI to cancel contracts related to veterans' health because they allegedly had something to do with DEI.

UPDATE: The Trump-Vance admin admits DOGE likely used AI to rewrite regulations at HUD.
This unreliable technology should not be used to change policies that affect the lives of millions without oversight. We will continue to hold the admin accountable in court.

Wow, Adm. Holsey didn't leave of his own accord, Hegseth pushed him out. What looked like the SOCOM head resigning rather than do war crimes now looks like SecDef canning him to facilitate war crimes.
Congress should have him testify, and would've already if war-crime-sympathetic GOP didn't run it.
