Today, Veterans, members of Congress, and the Women in the Services Coalition stood on the Capitol steps to say what this administration refuses to:

Women serve. Women lead. Women have always fought for this country.

We won't let Trump erase their legacy--or silence those still in uniform.[image or embed]

Sorry vets. You've been mooching off the tax payers too long. Time to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and find your own healthcare. We've got to take care of our rich donors who bribed us for tax cuts - THE GOP

DOGE used flawed AI tool to "munch" Veterans Affairs contracts
arstechnica.com

... Staffer had no medical experience, and the results were predictably, spectacularly bad.


As the Trump administration prepared to cancel contracts at the Department of Veterans Affairs this year, officials turned to a software engineer with no health care or government experience to guide them.

The engineer, working for the Department of Government Efficiency, quickly built an artificial intelligence tool to identify which services from private companies were not essential. He labeled those contracts "MUNCHABLE."

The code, using outdated and inexpensive AI models, produced results with glaring mistakes. For instance, it hallucinated the size of contracts, frequently misreading them and inflating their value. It concluded more than a thousand were each worth $34 million, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.

The DOGE AI tool flagged more than 2,000 contracts for "munching." It's unclear how many have been or are on track to be canceled"the Trump administration's decisions on VA contracts have largely been a black box. The VA uses contractors for many reasons, including to support hospitals, research, and other services aimed at caring for ailing veterans.

VA officials have said they've killed nearly 600 contracts overall. Congressional Democrats have been pressing VA leaders for specific details of what's been canceled without success. ...

But I'd proffer that he was loyal to the MAGA cult leader.

And that seems to outweigh actual qualification for the position.
