The Department of Veterans Affairs announced they will not institute a Reduction in Force of what had been planned to be 83,000 employees after outcry by veterans
Thank you so much for this Fred! As a 100% service connected disabled vet with no other income or healthcare but through the VA every win is massive to me. Thanks for all you do! Please keep bringing the news, good and bad.
Jolly Good Ginger said he was hearing from vets that they were getting letters telling them they had been re-evaluated and their disability dropped. I can't find anything concrete on this. Have you heard anything? God knows the VA isn't communicating clearly and honestly since this regime took over.
Thank you for showing the wins where they are and when we get them. The organizing you and the other advocates are doing is saving lives. That’s a win, especially if I’m one of them.
Keep on keeping on, Fred. I think you really embody this poem I wrote—a fearless advocate for patriotism and community.
SCOTUS just gave Trump the go ahead to cut. I never worked for the VA, but many of my collegues and our staff were veterans, and extrapollating, DOGE cut hundreds of thousands of jobs across all agencies.
E.G. This is the last week for the Federal Labor Relations Authority, where some of the judges and staff are veterans.
Workers rights and protections are under direct attack from these cuts. Don't forget about the lawsuit Amazon has against the National Labor Relations Board to dismantle any legal recourses and protections we have.
Yes, more bad is coming, but we have to at least celebrate the win for the second. Draw strength from it and get ready for the next fights. Our voices will get louder as the Robber Barons get greedier.
With all these cuts to Veterans' benefits, how does the military plan to recruit? Potential enlistees won't see the value of joining and staying if they know they or their families won't be supported. Do you think the Government doesn't care about making cuts because they plan on putting in place a National Service requirement or the draft? I'm curious.
I'm not warning you to "beware of the Ides of March," however, within your inner circle you have forces at work that endeavors to supplant your authority. Don't turn your back on Miller and Hegseth. With "Et tu Brute" still ringing in their ears and as Caesar's blood dripped from the senator's blades, the death of a ruler had been staged. Mr. Trump, now you have a battle on two fronts to contend with and no one is trustworthy. I pity you because of your environment, death never takes a Holiday.
It’s just so disgusting that we have to fight to regain every damn thing they’ve gleefully & stupidly stripped away.
I hear you and I agree. What kind of sadism on yonder block head falls. A real fine thank you for your service with the party of the TACO.

As the fireworks fly and we stand up high.
A new joyful why, appears as we try.
In sunlight that sweeps to the roots in the deeps.
Our new will it reaps, as freedoms it keeps.
