I am deeply concerned about the mass firings of federal employees, which have already disrupted essential services and hurt everyday Americans. These politically motivated terminations are not just harming government operations—they are shutting down vital services that families, seniors, and businesses rely on. Federal layoffs are already causing real harm: • Social Security delays: Families are struggling to obtain Social Security numbers for newborns due to office closures and policy chaos. (AP News) • National Parks understaffed: Layoffs at the U.S. Forest Service threaten tourism, conservation efforts, and wildfire prevention. (SFGate) • Small-town economies at risk: The loss of federal jobs is devastating local businesses in rural areas that depend on tourism and public land maintenance. (The Guardian) • HUD grants delayed: Affordable housing programs and rental assistance are in jeopardy due to staff reductions, affecting low-income families and seniors. These layoffs are not about efficiency—they are about political purges. While some employees have been reinstated due to lawsuits and public outcry, many critical roles remain unfilled, leaving agencies in disarray. I urge you to take immediate action to: 1. Hold hearings and demand transparency on the impact of these firings. 2. Protect nonpartisan civil servants from politically motivated terminations. 3. Restore funding and staffing for essential government functions. The stability of our government should not be subject to political games. I call on you to act now to prevent further damage to our country. Please let me know what steps you will take to address this crisis.
