White House adviser Alina Habba defended the layoffs of federal workers by the Trump administration, stating that those affected may not be “fit to have a job at this moment.” She expressed no sympathy for those who lost their jobs and emphasized the need to use taxpayer dollars to pay people who actually work. Habba highlighted the cuts made by the Department of Government Efficiency and stated that President Trump planned to address them in his speech to Congress. Some military veterans were part of the group affected by the layoffs, leading to criticism from veterans who felt the comments were insulting and disregarded their service and sacrifices. The Trump administration has fired thousands of federal workers in an effort to cut federal funding and address waste, fraud, and abuse across departments and agencies. The layoffs have led to lawsuits and backlash from those who were terminated, including veterans who feel their service to the country has not been valued. Despite a federal judge ruling that a memo directing agencies to plan for mass layoffs was illegal, the fired employees have not been reinstated. This has raised concerns about the treatment of military veterans and federal workers in the Trump administration’s efforts to cut government spending.
