Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins testified to the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs on Feb. 11, 2026, about a proposal to reorganize the Veterans Health Administration, drawing pointed questions from Democrats about what the changes would mean in practice.
In January 2024, the Department of Veterans Affairs held a meeting to discuss survey results on employee 'pain points' tied to personal identities, aiming to deepen diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. The initiative sought to create lasting changes within the agency. Under the subsequent Trump administration, the VA has moved to eliminate these programs.
