Congressman Ro Khanna here. Sharing stories of veterans illegally fired by the Trump Administration.
We are working to give workers a bigger platform and have already received stories from 150+ people through our confidential form.We've been fielding stories from illegally fired federal employees, Republican, Democrat, Independent, non-partisan, and in-between, and they are heartbreaking (shared with permission).--------GSA/FAS/CaSE/OCC/NCSC employee, a Republican veteran, for example:"20 years of service in the army. Bronze Medal of Valor Recipient. 3 combat deployments. 100% disabled. 3 kids, one of which is due March 1st. And fired without cause."And another.VA employee, Republican veteran:"I am an Army veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Additionally I spent 15 years as a police officer. I was forced out of my job due to PTSD that was caused by my time in the military, which I am service connected disabled. For the past several years, I have been working on my mental health, which had deteriorated. I had tried to work as a truck driver and couldn’t mentally handle the job. I was later connected with the job as a financial administrative specialist for the debt management center. The job is not a high paying job. It is at the GS 5 pay scale. In August 2024 I took the job. I was sold on the unit's mission on helping veterans. We were told our unit was started due to the fact that veterans were having their entire disability checks taken and it was causing issues. I really believe in what we are doing. I excelled at this job. Management and my trainers were all happy not only with my numbers, but with my interactions.I have been told I am being laid off by my management. I haven’t gotten my notice yet."--------My team is reaching out to more and more folks by the hour, connecting with them on next steps in our fight to make sure NO ONE can ignore this illegal firing spree. Just because Democrats are in the minority doesn't mean we can't stand up and use our platforms.There are even more stories folks don't want to share publicly due to backlash or fear of retaliation, which is wrong and illegal.Thank you all for continuing to stand strong, people are starting to take notice.
