Filner slams VA on data theft handling amid call for aid
Rep Bob Filner condemned the VA for delaying public disclosure of a massive data breach affecting up to 26.5 million military personnel. He urged rapid action and free credit monitoring, while VA officials defended the briefing as a publicity stunt. The Pentagon and FBI assist with notification and guidance, as the agency reports progress in informing affected individuals.

House panel votes to raise minimum wage in decade
A House Appropriations Committee amendment would boost the minimum wage from 5.15 to 7.25 dollars as part of a health and education funding bill. House floor action is unlikely to retain the wage hike. Rep. Howard McKeon of California said no plans for a stand-alone bill to raise the minimum wage.
