Federal employees across the government are now receiving layoff notices, a devastating outcome of Trump’s political games. It’s outrageous that he would use people’s livelihoods as pawns to “score political points”. He claims the cuts will only affect Democrats, as if Democrats are the only ones who choose to serve their country. That couldn’t be further from the truth. These terminations will impact both Democrats and Republicans alike, thousands of dedicated public servants who have spent their careers working for the good of the nation.
A job isn’t “nothing.” It’s how people support their families, pay their bills, buy food, and put their kids through school. To play politics with that is unconscionable. It would be one thing if these were cases of underperformance, but many of those being laid off have stellar reviews and decades of service. This isn’t reform; it’s retribution. And it’s wrong.
