“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.
Lies from secretary of VA.
To no one’s surprise, #SecVA has shown all of his employees how little he values them. Shame on you, “chaplain.”
Alex Pretti, executed by ICE. #BlueSkyVets #VeteransAdministration #SecVA : where is your eulogy for your debited employee?
This move further alienates already weary #VAEmployees, inevitably increasing flight of professional & skilled workers from VA.
My VA has already lost 30 psychologists because of the "veteran-centered" moves of #SecVA & orange mini-balls.
The #SecVA 's lies keep coming, won't stop coming.
🧵
The GOP & that snake #DougCollins are doing everything possible to undermine VA while claiming these efforts are for #Vets.
Hell, some designer pants should be on fire, especially with the claims this isn't meant to usher in privatization.
I’d say buckle up, we are in for a bumpy ride…but ya’ll already know that AND a seatbelt makes getting out of this hand basket that much more difficult.
Insidious plans to privatize #Veteran care & do away with #VA carried out through the agency’s budget. Shame.

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.
"Like a family" is how #SecVA referred to #VA. Corporate speak for unrealistic expectations, overwhelming workloads, & lack of of accountability for bullies & under-performers.
Hrm. How about that, Skybees. Seems there was some truth told that afternoon, after all.
(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,
