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.

Akhras, a child and adolescent psychiatrist, lost his home to an Israeli strike, in early 2024. He and his family have been displaced multiple times, living in tents where the canvas sweats from too many bodies pressed into too little space. He no longer sits in a white-walled office or wears a badge. But he continues to work, seeing some fifty patients a day, most of them children. One of his regular patients is a young girl, no older than fourteen, who survived a strike that killed her entire family. She woke up in an I.C.U., alone, unable to understand where everyone had gone. Now she sits in front of Akhras in silence, until she asks, again and again, if he can bring them back. He has no answer, only a pencil stub and a coloring book, which he hopes she can use to express and process her emotions.

ACOG, the country’s largest organization of OB-GYN providers, announced that it will stop accepting funds from the Trump administration.

The callous responses to this thread are appalling. Don't come on here sharing the next ProPublica piece about a pregnant person who dies because of an abortion ban like you care if your response to this was to make a joke or say some version of "fuck around, find out."
