This is as huge a scandal & blunder as this chaotic Administration has seen.
The person who should be called to answer for it is Secy Kristi Noem. When a woman who loves the camera as much as Noem is nowhere to be seen for 10 days it’s b/c she’s hiding out. Media should be all over this.

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

“You’re terminated because…?”
Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside.
DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

The law says you can be fired for any LEGAL reason … OR for no reason. But if they claim a reason, as they’ve done here, and there is no evidence to support their claim, you have a huge case. I hope all Federal employees remember that. “Performance” MUST be documented by whoever is doing the firing.
