Too late. That info has been downloaded to X.

The President has granted Musk & his team of teenagers access to federal databases without clear employment agreements, security clearances, or oversight. This is an unacceptable breach of trust.

Putin now firing his teams of hackers. Direct access is so much easier!

These actions violate federal privacy and security laws and risk creating an unauthorized private database of veterans’ information outside government protections.

@SecVetAffairs Collins - You pledged to ensure accountability at VA. You have the authority to act now to protect veterans’ private data. Revoke access and demand deletion.

@secVetAffairs your private information and that of you your family is also being stolen! Do something for yourself!

I'm not a vet - but we're all impacted by this, in your opinion, do you think individuals could/should file privacy complaints for each dept website?

I have lost all trust in these politicians. I’m retired and rated at 💯 from the VA. I believe they are trying to cut our concurrent retirement which would be devastating. If they think 22 a day is bad wait until they start messing with our much needed/earned benefits.

I know how u feel. If they keep following proj 2025’s plan, VA will be privatized. Theyll reduce eligible conditions, raise the eligblty threshold & est. a new stricter rating system. Some will lose their benfts, entirely. Instead of “duty to assist,” it’ll be “fck you, u kno what u signed up for”

sillystring215.bsky.social•12 days ago

What’s more disturbing, if that’s even possible, if the VA is privatized, these billionaires stand to profit off of disabled vets all while taking money that used to be allocated for us, and shoving it into their evil billionaire pockets.

Right! It’s sickening!!

Handing over the keys to kingdom is what he's doing.

Forget it. It’s in a huge dark web data leak. We are fucked.

It is a criminal breach of info security....perpetrated by a president who views veterans with contempt & derision. Administrators will do nothing to stop the assault....only a legal suit can possibly delay the breach....imo.

Thank you for asking this, Janessa.

It's also great seeing you here on Bluesky! I just followed you.
