But VA workers and some lawmakers remain skeptical, pointing to ongoing staffing shortages across the system that were a problem even before the VA got rid of tens of thousands of workers last year. A report released ahead of the hearing by Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, the committee's top Democrat, said the VA lost about 40,000 workers over the past year, many through the so-called DOGE cuts. The report said nearly 90 percent of those departures were health care staff. -

During one dive, Robinson said he heard reports of flooding shortly after the submarine submerged. He said water quickly moved through multiple levels of the submarine, prompting an emergency response by the crew.

Earlier this week our commander announced that only Christmas decorations were allowed in the headquarters facility where I work and under his command. He made it clear that the recognition of any other type of celebration would be unacceptable “wokeness” which would not be tolerated under his command. He often speaks his views that DEI is a cancer. He says it is destroying our country and our military. The next day there were four nativity scene displays erected in our headquarters complex. He says he has an “open door policy”. So I made an appointment to come see him and asked about whether we could also have Hanukkah displays up. He seemed upset and said that since “it is well known that Hanukkah is the Jewish Christmas” Jewish personnel should be satisfied when they see a Christmas display that it also includes Hanukkah. Obviously that statement is just FUBAR!
