The White House says President Trump signed an executive order to modernize data sharing between the Departments of War and Veterans Affairs, framed as speeding veterans' access to benefits. The release describes this as removing ‘antiquated system barriers’ and claims the administration has ‘dramatically expanded’ veterans' healthcare, education, and job access.

No details are offered on what specifically changes in the data systems, what the backlog looks like now, or what metrics would show improvement. The three headline claims arrive as assertions rather than evidence, standard fare for a self-issued fact sheet.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

Getting two big agencies to share files is real work, and anybody who has tried to merge the church directory with the softball roster knows it takes months and somebody always ends up mad. So say what the backlog is today and what it ought to be next fall, and let us check the arithmetic. Announcing the computers will talk to each other is not the same as the computers talking to each other.
