Let It Burn!

WASHINGTON — House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro (CT-03) and Subcommittee on Military Construction and Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies Ranking Member Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-25) released data on the estimated number of veterans fired so far by Trump and unchecked billionaire President Elon Musk.

“Our veterans make significant sacrifices in service of our country, but those sacrifices do not seem to matter to President Trump and unchecked billionaire Elon Musk,” said Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro. “They are an essential part of our federal workforce, bringing their expertise to every single agency. Republicans are turning their back on them, allowing Musk to fire at least 6,000 veterans and leave them with no way to feed their families or keep a roof over their heads. This move should outrage anyone who respects our veterans and servicemembers and believes our promises to them should be upheld. We have repeatedly asked the Trump administration for additional information on the exact number of veterans they have fired and what they plan to do to support them. The American people deserve answers.”

“Trump and Musk have launched an unwarranted and unjustified attack on the veterans and military spouses who sacrificed so much for all of us. By upending their lives and careers, these groundless firings are a disgraceful assault on heroes who admirably served our country. It is deeply offensive that this Administration would attempt to balance our budget on the backs of our veterans,”
said Appropriations Subcommittee on Military Construction and Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies Ranking Member Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

The fact sheet can be found here, which details how many veterans Donald Trump and Elon Musk have fired so far.

The federal government is the single largest employer of veterans in this country, making up 30 percent of the nearly 2.3 million civilian federal workforce. The so-called “Department of Government Efficiency’s” (DOGE) stated goal to eliminate 75 percent of the federal workforce could mean that up to 500,000 veterans could lose their jobs.

This analysis is an estimate based on publicly available sources. The Administration has failed to respond to any questions requesting details about the firings.

DeLauro and Wasserman Schultz will periodically update this information as more veterans are fired.

So just because one was once in the military they deserve a do nothing job until retirement?

How insulting. Federal jobs are a lot of work. You have obviously not worked in the govt sector. Veterans get a break in getting hired. But they are expected to do the job.

Didn’t say they weren’t. Some are, some aren’t. If 6,000 workers were fired for doing little to nothing of consequence it’s irrelevant if they were veterans or not.

I was a GS-14 in the mid 90’s.

Exactly my point. If it’s a job that doesn’t produce anything the job gets eliminated.
E.g., you’re probably not seeing postal jobs eliminated.
