Summary
Elon Musk reduced its planned Veterans Affairs (VA) contract terminations from 875 to 585 after employees protested the cuts, citing risks to patient safety.
The reversal follows criticism that DOGE is cutting essential services while overstating taxpayer savings.
The VA has not disclosed the full list of remaining contracts to be canceled. However, employees have identified 200 of them, with some affecting critical services like sterility certification, radiation safety, and PTSD research.
This follows plans to lay off 80,000 VA workers by August, after 2,400 dismissals in February.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal called the move “reckless” and harmful to veterans’ care.

Congress needs to do something other than just point shit out as a bad idea.
The guy who shat all over Gold Star families, called vets “losers”, and skipped out on service by claiming bone spurs from day 1 is doing this?
Huh.
Wasn’t there a movie about what happens when you treat soldiers with PTSD like shit?
