Federal Workers Rally Against Government Cuts

Federal workers across the United States have mobilized to protest mass firings initiated by the Trump administration and the new Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk. Activists emphasize that these cuts threaten essential public services, with many employees laid off abruptly without proper notice. One example includes the USDA, which mistakenly fired workers who were crucial in managing the H5N1 avian flu outbreak and later sought to rehire them. The protestors assert that the motive behind these firings is to strip away the capacity of the government, of which essential services like Medicaid and veteran healthcare are at risk.
