Except, that wasn’t the end of the story.
A federal judge put a hold on the layoffs, and workers were left in limbo until the Supreme Court approved the firings last week.
Fired. Not fired. Laid off, forced to retire, asked to come back. Government workers have been jerked around like puppets on string by the Trump administration – and not only are the workers and their families suffering, the American people are suffering.
What happens when expertise is discarded, departments are hollowed out, and essential functions of government are crippled?
Since January, more than 275,000 have been targeted for layoffs by Trump’s DOGE and other reductions in force, and the administration has been able to already fire more than 128,000 of them.
Since January, more than 275,000 have been targeted for layoffs by Trump’s DOGE and other reductions in force, and the administration has been able to already fire more than 128,000 of them.
But the confusion surrounding these layoffs and their legality is causing ongoing problems.
Employees are being denied early retirement or unemployment benefits that were promised to them because the Trump administration doesn’t file the right paperwork. They’ve received no information for how to apply for insurance benefits.
And we’re all taking the brunt of these firings, as essential services like Social Security, FEMA, and the National Weather Service have empty desks.
On Tuesday, we’ll hear from former federal employees about how their firings unfolded, how it has affected their lives, and the impact it will have for all of us. We’ll also hear how these workers are fighting back and learn how we all can stand up to protect our future!
