Скачать или смотреть Trump Slashes VA Suicide Hotline in Workforce Purge—Veterans at Risk

The Department of Veterans Affairs has come under intense scrutiny after Military.com’s Patricia Kime reported that employees from the Veterans Crisis Line—an essential suicide prevention service—were among those fired in a mass federal workforce reduction.

The Trump administration’s latest purge has triggered an outcry, with lawmakers like Senator Richard Blumenthal warning that the cuts are already jeopardizing critical veteran services, including canceled surgeries, ICU bed reductions, and mental health facility closures.

These layoffs are part of a broader effort across multiple agencies, including the Department of Agriculture, CDC, and National Nuclear Security Administration. VA Secretary Doug Collins claims the move will save $98 million, but critics argue that it prioritizes cost-cutting over veteran well-being. With suicide rates among veterans already alarmingly high, gutting crisis response teams could have life-or-death consequences.
