Hundreds of workers rallied outside the Brooklyn VA Medical Center, opposing the Trump administration's proposal to cut 80,000 positions at the Department of Veterans Affairs. Members of the American Federation of Government Employees protested what they described as an attack on the services provided to veterans and the integrity of the federal workforce. AFGE leaders criticized the Department of Government Efficiency initiative, claiming that efficiency measures compromise care. The layoffs expected by August represent a broader threat to public services, with officials emphasizing the sacrifices made by veterans and their dependence on robust support systems.
They say it stands for the Department of Government Efficiency. I say it stands for the Department of Government Evil. This is not about efficiency, this is evil.
These attacks on VA aren't random, they're part of a broader assault on public services, services you earned and you paid for.
When veterans are forced to wait for longer lines, that's betrayal. When veteran employees are shown the door, that's a disgrace.
We gather here at Brooklyn VA Medical Center not just as individuals but as a united front against the relentless attack on our veterans.
