I want to clarify that I'm not accusing FEMA or anyone of illegal actions. Due to the hurricane, FEMA needed space, which resulted in the termination of my lease. It's unfortunate because I worked hard to reach this point. Just wanted to make that clear. Thank you.

Reports of political hostility in the field are acknowledged. Despite being fired, I still have access to FEMA systems and noticed files being deleted during an interview, indicating awareness of ongoing issues. Instead of addressing these incidents to protect staff, FEMA chose to terminate my employment, likely to show loyalty to political figures. When encountering hostility, I inform my supervisor, Chad Hershey, and we avoid canvassing homes where hostility has been reported. Hershey emphasizes the importance of team safety, advising us to skip unsafe areas and focus on safer homes to ensure everyone returns home safely.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Is Miss Washington lying? She claimed this practice is common, while you called it isolated and reprehensible. Someone isn't telling the truth. An anonymous FEMA official suggested she received clear guidance. Are they lying too? The investigation is ongoing, but the text message indicates best practices, including staying hydrated and going in pairs, while also advising against visiting Trump homes. This seems common, yet you insist Miss Washington's actions were unacceptable and not in line with FEMA policy. Have you spoken to the 13 individuals involved in the text? You haven't? This reflects a troubling mindset in government, reminiscent of derogatory comments about certain groups. The text message reinforces this mindset. You directed Miss Washington's termination after receiving the message. Do you know who the other official is? You should have that information, not me.

After three weeks of training, the speaker received a litigation hold and a memo granting permission to fire probationary employees from the capital c section who had been moved within the office. The memo referenced people but lacked specific names, causing confusion. Upon returning to the office, the speaker and colleagues were met with confusion and heartbreak. Two hours later, termination letters began to arrive. Ultimately, 15 assistant US attorneys were fired. The speaker's termination letter cited actions and prosecutions related to the events at or near the US Capitol on 01/06/2021. It referenced an executive order characterizing the work as a grave national injustice and stated that the speaker's hiring hindered the acting US attorney's ability to implement President Trump's agenda. The speaker believes the US attorneys represent the United States, not the president. The speaker believes that firing 15 qualified attorneys created a problem.

I was recently terminated from my supervisor training program at the VA Medical Center, along with over a thousand others, due to alleged underperformance and a claim that it would save the department money. The reason given for my termination was whether my continued employment was in the "public interest." I'm a Marine veteran who wanted to continue serving my country by helping fellow veterans at the VA. My role was to eliminate red tape for doctors and nurses, ensuring veterans received quick and effective treatment. Despite the VA secretary's claim that these firings won't impact healthcare, my sudden termination hindered a proper transition of duties and has the potential to create gaps in service. These are terminations being masked as layoffs. We've been denied protections that people usually get during reductions in force.

I was fired for supporting Trump after defending a man shot at a rally. My boss, a Mexican American, insulted the victim and I stood up for him. He accused me of being what's wrong with the country and kicked me out. Now I'm unsure about my future.

As a former 18-year veteran of the Department of Justice, I now lead a group called Justice Connection, aiding current DOJ employees facing demotions, firings, and threats from various sources, including January 6th rioters and those believing in the "deep state" narrative. These individuals are terrified for their careers and personal safety due to increased doxxing and harassment. The current environment within the FBI and DOJ is destabilized, impacting morale and daily functions, making it harder to focus on critical tasks like counterterrorism. While the administration defends personnel moves as aligning with its priorities, the safety and security of dedicated DOJ employees is at risk, especially with doxxing and harassment being criminal offenses.

I was pressured by government officials to say and do things that would harm others. They even hacked my phone and sent me a tracking notification. They offered me money and tried to persuade me to lie. They also mentioned an AI hacker that could manipulate media to their advantage, paid by the National Congress. I left the country out of fear for my safety. I don't want to blame others, but I'm scared something might happen to me. I want to share this with you.

I was informed of my firing from FEMA verbally after I was demoted, but I never received written confirmation. My team and I faced political hostility during our deployment, particularly in areas with Trump campaign signs. FEMA promotes avoidance and de-escalation, and we documented hostile encounters without identifying specific homes due to privacy concerns. I have worked with FEMA since 2019 as a reservist while holding a civilian job at a property management company, which also terminated my employment. I have received threats and have had to relocate for safety. I welcome inquiries from Congress to share my experiences and urge FEMA to address the breaches of confidentiality by their partnering companies. I regret the way FEMA has treated me but still value the work I do. I am open to exploring legal options regarding my termination.

This past week has been incredibly difficult, both personally and professionally. Since the new administration began, there's been a climate of fear and uncertainty, impacting my colleagues and me. We've felt unsafe, unsure of who to trust, and worried about the security of our communications. This has created a widespread sense of insecurity. My anonymity is crucial because my personal information – including my Social Security number and contact details – has been compromised. I fear that Doge members, including Elon Musk, have access to this sensitive data. I'm concerned about potential targeting. The current methods being used are dangerous, illegal, and cruel. They don't align with the President's mandate and are being carried out by a rogue few. The actions of a billionaire unilaterally removing aid to the world's poorest is horrifying. I'm angry, sad, and devastated for my colleagues, family, and the American people.

This past week has been incredibly difficult, both personally and professionally. Since the new administration began, a climate of fear has permeated my workplace. We're unsure who to trust, and the constant uncertainty is terrifying. My information, including personal details and contacts, has been compromised. I'm worried about my family's safety, and that's why I'm remaining anonymous. The methods used to achieve supposed efficiency are dangerous, illegal, and cruel. They haven't been approved by the President or Secretary Rubio, and they're the actions of a rogue few. Being vilified by a billionaire who's cutting aid to the world's poorest is horrifying. I'm angry, sad, and devastated for my colleagues, my family, and the American people.

People are really scared because overnight, many lost their next paycheck and ability to pay for childcare and medical bills. Christina Drey and Adam Dubard were fired this month amidst the chaotic shutdown of foreign aid distributed by USAID. Over 8,000 USAID employees were sent home, not based on competency but on loyalty tests. These are people with decades of public service across administrations, and they had to leave the building immediately. As far as I know, they received an email, and if they didn't leave, they were escorted out. There was no process or explanation given to them.

You've got to be heard. When I returned, my boss said I caused extra work and removed me from my squad, despite moving 2,000 miles for this job. I was assigned to a national security squad, given no work for six weeks, and sent into a potentially dangerous situation. This organization feels petty and tyrannical, not looking out for my interests or those of Americans. I was suspended without pay, complicating everything. I understand the investigation process, but it feels flawed. My experience has been filled with retaliation and unjust treatment. I want to express my side clearly during the interview, but I feel the system is broken. I don't trust the FBI anymore, and I doubt it can self-regulate. I appreciate your understanding, but I need to voice these concerns. Let’s meet soon to discuss everything in detail.

I was informed of my termination verbally after my demotion, but I never received written confirmation. They claimed my actions were for personal political gain, yet there’s a clear pattern of political hostility my team faced during deployment, particularly related to Trump campaign signage. FEMA emphasizes avoidance and de-escalation, but this issue is widespread, not just in Florida but also in the Carolinas. Senior leadership may deny awareness, but field crews can provide evidence of what's happening. It's crucial to demand FEMA's incident reports to support our experiences in the field.

After being forced to retire by the Trump administration, I walked out of 26 Federal Plaza to a cheering crowd. My departure came after a battle with the Trump Justice Department, who wanted the names of FBI agents involved in the January 6 investigations. I spoke briefly to the current and former FBI, NYPD, and other law enforcement officials who came to see me off, telling them, "I will always be faithful to this country, to this organization, and most of all, I will always be faithful to you. And I appreciate you being faithful to me, to this office, and more importantly, our mission." I was given the choice to resign or be fired. It is unknown who the new Trump FBI director, Kash Patel, will choose to lead the FBI field office.

I received an email from the Department of Health and Human Services stating that I was being terminated during my probationary period. They said my skills didn't fit the agency's needs and that my performance wasn't adequate. This really hurt because I worked hard to get this job, especially after moving from out of state. It's upsetting to think some people are celebrating this, assuming we're lazy and living off the government. My coworkers and I cared about our jobs and wanted to help people. It's painful to have something you care about taken away unfairly. I'm worried about what I'm going to do now. For those also dealing with this, know that you're not trash. What you did mattered, and you won't be forgotten by those you worked with.

I was fired the morning after a demotion, with no written notice. My termination was attributed to actions taken for my own political gain, but this ignores a broader pattern of political hostility against my team and others displaying Trump campaign signage. This wasn’t an isolated incident; similar avoidance of issues occurred across Florida and the Carolinas. Senior leadership denies knowledge, but field crews (DSA leads and specialists) can confirm the widespread problem. Requesting FEMA incident reports will substantiate these claims of political targeting.

I was abruptly fired from my teaching job, with no explanation. I lost important work and personal data. Despite following rules, I was let go due to online content. I feel unsupported by colleagues. Thank you for the support. Moving forward with new opportunities.

The discussion centers on the claim that the Trump administration has been “draining the Washington DC swamp” by using a Biden-era policy, and that Trump actually tricked Biden into enacting it. The speakers present several linked points. - A report is cited: federal government employment fell by 9,000 jobs in April, and is down about 345,000 jobs since Trump took office. The speakers show a graph suggesting Trump’s entrance coincides with a “free fall,” and claim these are the lowest federal employment numbers in the country since 1966. - They attribute this purge of federal workers to a Biden-era policy that, according to their narrative, the Biden administration inadvertently made it easier for Trump to fire executive-branch employees. This claim is tied to coverage from the Heritage Foundation. - Speaker 1 recounts a sequence of events involving the firing of federal employees after Biden took office. They describe receiving an email in Biden’s early months stating that recipients must resign by a certain time or be fired, implying a policy or practice of compelled resignations. - They recount American First Legal’s attempt to sue the Biden administration, seeking plaintiffs to challenge the right to fire federal employees. They describe a process in which they hoped to lose in court so that Biden’s position would proceed to higher courts, claiming they ultimately lost at both the district court and the appeals level, with Trump then prevailing in the broader effort. - The narrative continues with the speaker mentioning contacting people and referencing it as “my servant v Biden,” followed by a call from the Washington Post about the Kennedy Center board being fired. The speaker jokes about being recognized for Dancing with the Stars rather than ballet, and the reporter’s line of inquiry is said to pivot to a statement issued by the Kennedy Center board. - The overall arc emphasized is that a Biden-era policy is claimed to have enabled broad layoffs in the executive branch, that this policy was “codified” or reinforced by actions in Biden’s early tenure, and that legal challenges by conservative groups to resist or contest these moves were unsuccessful, leading to what the speakers present as Trump succeeding in reducing federal employment and purging federal workers. The Kennedy Center firing is cited as part of the broader narrative of fired or compelled resignations as part of perceived administrative shakeups.

I joined the FBI in 2014, focusing on violent crimes on Indian reservations and later on child pornography and human trafficking in Florida. In 2021, I was reassigned to domestic terrorism, where I became concerned about the January 6 investigations. I noticed the FBI was straying from its guidelines, which I believed jeopardized important cases and public safety. After raising my concerns, my security clearance was suspended, and I was placed in an unpaid position indefinitely. The FBI pressured me to lie to charge me with a crime and denied my requests for outside employment. If the FBI treats its own agents this way, what might they do to ordinary citizens?

A FEMA supervisor allegedly told workers to avoid homes with Trump campaign signs while assisting hurricane victims in Florida. An official report confirms that FEMA employees skipped homes with Trump '20 '20 '4 campaign signs. The allegations began circulating in October after Hurricane Milton. The FEMA supervisor in Washington told workers to avoid houses with Trump signs while canvassing neighborhoods. The report makes clear that there were no safety concerns at the houses with Trump signs. The OSC says the FEMA manager violated the Hatch Act, which prevents federal employees from political activity, including using one's official authority to affect an election. The FEMA manager has since been fired. There have also been stories of people in North Carolina who felt they were not getting the help they needed from FEMA because of their political beliefs.

This internal government memo confirms I was retaliated against for speaking out against Homeland Security officials who I believed were breaking the law. No one at Homeland Security has been disciplined, demoted, or fired for failing to comply with the DNA law. To the contrary, some have been promoted. I've had my law enforcement credentials and firearm taken away, and my law enforcement retirement revoked. Publicly removing someone's firearm is the ultimate insult. I was iced, left to do menial tasks, and my future career potential vanished. I was demoted three levels, and like my colleague, my firearm and credentials were taken. Never in our combined seventy-five years of service have any of us even had a disciplinary action. One of the supervisors said the agency's goal is to bankrupt you, make you quit, die, kill yourselves, or preferably all of the above.

I was fired, and the allegations claim my actions were for personal political gain. However, the records show a community trend linked to political hostility, particularly involving teams displaying Trump campaign signage. FEMA emphasizes avoidance and de-escalation, indicating that this issue is widespread, not just in Florida but also in the Carolinas. Senior leadership may deny awareness, but field crews and specialists have firsthand experiences to share. It's essential to demand FEMA provide incident reports for transparency.

I was informed of my termination verbally after my demobilization, but I never received written confirmation. They claimed my actions were for personal political gain, yet there is a clear pattern of political hostility linked to my teams, which displayed Trump campaign signage. FEMA emphasizes avoidance and de-escalation, but this issue is widespread, not just in Florida but also in the Carolinas. Senior leadership may deny awareness, but field crews can provide insight into the situation. It's essential to demand FEMA's incident reports, as they will confirm the challenges we face in the field.

I wouldn't return to a job in the federal government until some things change. Right now, there's a lack of stability, and the emotional impact on me feels like a betrayal, especially considering the 30% of the federal workforce who have served on active duty. I served my country for eleven years, nine on active duty, with two deployments and time away from my family. I even missed my mom's passing while serving. I was excited to continue serving in my role, but they took it away and blamed it on my performance, despite positive reviews. It feels like my service isn't valued, and they don't care about the impact on me or others like me. To me, it feels inhumane, ignoring our personhood and disrespecting us as human beings and American citizens.
