A resolution condemning the mass terminations of employees of the Department of Veterans Affairs carried out with no justification or analysis of the impact on veterans and their families.

Sponsored By: Senator Blumenthal, Richard [D-CT]

Introduced

Summary

Condemns VA mass terminations and urges reinstatement of affected employees. The resolution would state that mass layoffs at the Department of Veterans Affairs carried out without justification or analysis should be condemned and that all affected VA employees should be reinstated. It cites VA announcements that about 1,000 employees were terminated on February 13, 2025 and an additional 1,400 on February 24, 2025. The measure lists operational risks to veterans' services, including suspended service lines, canceled mammograms, reduced caregiver and crisis support, lost research and cybersecurity staff, and Vet Center impacts. It is advisory only and does not create rights, require spending, or enact law.
