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." It also admonished Collins that the job cuts affect many service-disabled veterans and military spouses along with medical researchers.
