1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love.

Question for OPM: about 30% of federal workers at the VA are Veterans. They were given a preference for hiring because they're Veterans. Disabled Veterans got a higher preference.

They are DEIA hires.

Are you going to fire them all? Are you going to end Veterans preference?
