As a disabled veteran, I’m extremely concerned about Trump’s SECVA pick Doug Collins. If you know a Veteran or are one, please get your appointments and meds refilled now!

And SecVA has a fraction of the patriotism and dedication to the country of those he is denying care. 🏳️⚧️ #IServeAllWhoServed.
“We are not a theory. We are not a policy debate. We are real people, doing real jobs, in defense of a nation we still believe in, even when it struggles to believe in us.” SecBro is a fraction of the caliber of these leaders he so gleefully bans. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
Supreme Court allows Trump to implement transgender military ban
The blanket ban, expanding on a similar policy Trump proposed in his first term, has been blocked nationwide by lower courts.

VA after SecVa held what's been described as an "angry" all hands call where he railed about the media, dismissed 'suicide prevention' efforts as a waste of money, and mocked his own employees! Looking for the recording!

“Could result in adverse consequences,” #SecVA said.
I can’t tell you the number of #veterans who confided they were afraid to seek treatment -even for debilitating symptoms-out of fear they could lose their incomes.
#SecVa: making #vets’ lives harder & calling it progress. Classic.

Amid outcry, VA abruptly stops enforcing new disability rating rule
The rule, which had gone into effect without prior notice, was quickly condemned by veterans groups as effectively lowering a veteran’s disability rating.

Powerful voices from VA clinicians under attack. Veterans are going to see dramatic changes. The suicide rate is going to climb. Homelessness will go up. SecVA Collins knows and doesn't care. Great piece from my friend @krisgoldsmith85.bsky.social. Free read. open.substack.com/pub/onoffens...

Here a link to the #VA employee town hall with #DougCollins from this week. I haven’t watched it all yet, but did not think it was so cute when the moderator said some of the questions were about RIFs and you can hear Doug audibly laugh. 🤬 🖕

The part I think about a lot is the assumption by so many that all of those GWOT veterans are MAGA. We had a huge influx of liberal volunteers who saw us feeding kids, building schools, and helping locals. This is why I know what's going on at VA faster than Dougie Fresh the SecVA.
I sit here presunrise thinking about things & I realized that in the last 20 years our government basically taught a large portion of the 3 million veterans who were part of GWOT operations since 9/11 how to be insurgents.

Amazing essay 🧵 on the shitshow “town hall” #SecVA #DougCollins gave on Friday, where “over 7k” questions were submitted in advance, and only about 6 were addressed. Because he’s too much of a coward to have live participation.
(Long 🧵alert)
#SecVA hosted an employee "town hall" on Friday, 6/20, so the "conversation" between #DougCollins and Moderator Ron Haskell focused on topics like reduction in force, employee morale, and the future of VA (as in, its existence). Questions were submitted and selected in advance,

So, it is with genuine curiosity I ask: What is SecVA doing to "fight for the workforce?"
I don't have the answer to that particular question, but I do have plenty to say about our workforce.
