Elon Musk, DOGE and Secretary Collins are driving many of our very best critical employees out of the VA. The disastrous effect on our Veterans can't be overstated. To them, Veterans are just numbers on a spreadsheet, not human beings.

It is utterly disgraceful that, more than 24 hours after hearing of 4 dead U.S. soldiers in Lithuania, trump still has made NO public statement about it.
We know how he feels about his painting in Colorado, but not about 4 U.S. soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice.
