The New York Times: V.A. Secretary Says Slashing 80,000 Jobs Is a Goal, Not a Firm Plan

John, the Trump administration is setting a goal to fire around 83,000 employees from the VA. And now we know from leaked documents that the Trump and DOGE team disrupted critical VA medical research and clinical trials.

It’s not complicated what Trump and DOGE are doing: They are trying to dismantle and weaken the VA so much that they have an excuse to sell it off to the highest bidder. 

I refuse to sit back while Trump and Republicans try to gut and privatize the VA.

I’m Chris Deluzio, a Navy veteran who served in Iraq and at sea. You better believe I will do all I can to stop this. 

My fellow veterans' lives are not some pawn in this Administration's BS game. This is a betrayal of veterans, period. 

I’m leading the fight against privatization of the VA and defending the benefits that my fellow veterans earned. If you’re with me, please make a donation to help me continue the work to defend the VA and stand for our veterans →

 

I represent Pennsylvania’s 17th District in Congress, and Trump’s hiring freeze impacted life-saving VA clinical trials and research happening right here in Western PA.

Pennsylvania is home to over 700,000 veterans — making it fourth highest in the nation for veteran population. We know what it’s like to wear the uniform and have pride in our legacy of service. 

And we damn sure know that the VA isn’t for sale. 

Where I’m from in PA, and across the country, patriotic families proudly show pictures of loved ones in uniform. Patriotism isn’t just a word — it’s personal.

So as this Administration tries to privatize the VA and sell it off to the highest bidder — which we know will hurt veterans' earned care — you better believe I'm gonna fight back.

Together, we must stand up to Trump and Republicans who are trying to privatize the VA and defend my fellow veterans' hard-earned care. This is a fight I intend to win — and I can’t do it without you by my side. 

Are you with me in this fight John? Please, chip in today to help me protect the VA and continue my work fighting for veterans in Congress →

Thank you, 

Chris Deluzio

About Blue Amp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do!
