DOGE to cancel government contracts that help veterans, records show​

Records show the 875 contracts included support for medical and burial services, cancer programs and efforts to recruit doctors for critical vacancies

Veterans Affairs Secretary Douglas A. Collins took to social media on Tuesday to tout sweeping cuts to contracts that he said would save the department nearly $2 billion without touching core services.

But the 875 contracts on the chopping block help cover medical services, fund cancer programs, recruit doctors and provide burial services to veterans, according to internal VA documents.

“Make no mistake,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (Connecticut), the ranking Democrat on the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, said in a statement Tuesday responding to Collins’s announcement. “This is just another reckless cost-cutting decision that will harm veterans and tax payers for years to come.”

The cancellations mark the administration’s latest effort, led by Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service, to streamline a federal bureaucracy President Donald Trump has cast as bloated, corrupt and lazy — a campaign that has left no part of the 2.3 million civilian workforce untouched, not even the department tasked with supporting the nation’s veterans and their families. On Monday, following a first round of layoffs affecting 1,000 workers, VA announced another 1,400 dismissals of “non-mission critical positions.”

Brilliant response. The impressive thing is that it only took you half an hour to compose it. Kudos to you

I'd like to see a list of those contracts, how many were fulfilled but still getting paid, contract expired but getting paid, etc.

Exactly.

And Trump Cult members continue to attempt to defend the indefensible.

Of course it is. You are making no sense. Fun to watch MAGA screw up. It is their only channel on the dial.

I'm making perfect sense.

THERE HAVE BEEN NO CUTS TO VETERAN CORE BENEFITS.

What you are peddling are lies.
