Joaquin Castro and dozens of other Democratic lawmakers are demanding answers after the Trump White House’s Secretary of Veterans Affairs fired more than 1,000 workers at the agency. In a letter addressed to VA Secretary Doug Collins, they accused the the administration of playing "reckless political games to undermine the care and benefits our veterans have earned."
