VA Rolls Out Risky Consolidation Scheme - The American Prospect The proposal to reorganize the Veterans Health Administration would centralize power at the top and cause a multitude of problems, critics argue.

“You are tearing down the walls before determining if they are load-bearing, and veterans will be the ones to be crushed if the structure collapses.”

They all do this. And it feels like a reflection on the humans behind them, whose inflated careers are built on never admitting they don’t know the answer. The ‘smartest people in the room’ if ‘smart’ just means glib and facile, turning out lies with complete conviction.

“Stupid rules” AKA the law of land and warfare 🤷‍♀️

I would’ve pegged you as a Yo Gabba Gabba kind of wacky

In sum, FIRC is sold to the public as a quick path to stability.

Yet, 120 cases across two centuries suggest it is one of the most reliable ***generators*** of instability outside of interstate war.

Veterans group warns of eroding VA health services as private-sector coverage grows Some veterans worry the $1 trillion plan to expand private-sector health coverage over the next decade will hollow out VA coverage.

“As resources, talent and expertise are siphoned away, the VA’s ability to function deteriorates — creating a self-fulfilling prophecy in which weakened performance is used to justify further destruction of the department" - aka The Death Spiral

Ok now VA actually rescinded the rule which means something vs just making a pinkie promise not to enforce it

But hey - let’s just rush forward as fast as possible! 🤷‍♀️

Pentagon Uses Military Housing Funds for $1,776 “Warrior Dividend” A one-time $1,776 payment was issued to service members, drawing on existing Pentagon housing funds approved earlier by Congress.

Dude we have seen the footage from Minneapolis. We are LESS SAFE. Masked thugs are disappearing people.

YES! I was cringing so hard. "Hello I would like to dwell at length and in detail on the worst experience of your life."

"We must reject political violence of any kind," says Trump, who pardoned hundreds of violent rioters who participated in the Jan. 6 insurrection that he inspired.

Trump talking about fighting fraud and corruption is ... ... ... something.

"should be my third term" NO THAT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Um where is the US respected now?

How to stop a dictator I spent months studying how authoritarians like Trump lose. The answer is shockingly simple.

I have spent the past several months studying the cutting-edge research on modern democracies that have defeated authoritarian leaders.
