In this compelling episode, host Mortimer unpacks a whirlwind week brimming with controversy, achievement, and critical debate surrounding Secretary Doug Collins and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

    We kick off with a highlight on success: the VA has set a new record, processing over two million disability benefits claims for veterans in fiscal year 2025.

Under Secretary Collins’ leadership, average claim processing times have significantly decreased, showcasing a steadfast commitment to improving veterans' services.

    However, this achievement is overshadowed by significant issues capturing social media and public scrutiny. First on the docket is the contentious role of DOGE employees—consultants spearheaded by the Department of Government Efficiency—whose influence and scope within the VA are under fire. Explore the heated exchanges in Senate hearings as lawmakers push for transparency on DOGE’s access to sensitive data and its sweeping reform initiatives that could reshape the VA landscape.

As Congress demands answers, and the hashtag #VAcontracts trends, uncover the fears of veterans and the efforts to hold VA leadership accountable.

    Yet, it's not all contentious. Discover how modernization strides, like the VA’s electronic health record system overhaul, are paving the way for coordinated care and enhanced trust in veterans' services.
