To address concerns about potential "fake news" in discussions regarding Highway 213, President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was accused of administering cuts that may negatively impact veterans’ care. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Doug Collins, has clarified his understanding and willingness to work with improvements and efficiencies. He has announced plans to establish a fourth VA clinic, marking an extension of his agency’s commitment to providing care that protects veterans and strengthens government accountability.
Summary of Key Points:
-
Collins Responds to Critics: Collins, a retired U.S. Air Force pilot, defended his government initiatives and reiterated the importance of maintaining services despite critics. He emphasized transparency and oversight to enhance accountability.
-
VA Clip in Montana: A new clinic in Montana was opened as part of a series of efforts to recover from "fake news" encompassing claims of health and benefit cuts. The facility, built to replace a smaller, discarded clinic, is significantly larger and is designed to serve a large number of veterans.

M REVEALED RISKS: Vets receive priority for care at many of the VA’s facilities, despite ongoing investigations into potential resource management issues, including health risks.
