Reuters reported mass layoffs at the Department of Veterans Affairs could begin as early as June. How would cuts affect Washington state's veterans?

The Department of Veterans Affairs will begin mass layoffs as early as June, according to a memo reviewed by Reuters, as President Donald Trump's campaign to sharply cut the federal government works its way through a highly politically sensitive agency.

Democrat lawmakers and veterans’ groups are fuming over the Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) plans to cut roughly 80,000 employees in the coming months, decrying the lack of transparency and lack of pushback from their colleagues across the aisle.
