US veterans' department plans mass layoffs as Trump's downsizing campaign spreads

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is planning to lay off approximately 10,000 employees as part of a broader downsizing initiative under the Trump administration. This move aims to reduce the federal workforce by 15% and cut costs, aligning with President Trump's campaign promise to streamline government operations. The layoffs will primarily affect administrative and support staff, with the VA ensuring that frontline healthcare workers remain untouched to maintain service quality for veterans. The decision has sparked concerns among veterans' groups and some lawmakers about potential negative impacts on veterans' services, despite assurances from the VA that the layoffs will not compromise care. This downsizing effort is part of a larger government-wide initiative to reduce the size of the federal workforce, which has seen similar actions in other departments like the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Education.
