Hundreds of thousands of federal workers have been terminated without cause, impacting agencies including the Forest Service, NOAA, and the CDC, significantly undermining public health and safety. These actions are characterized as part of a broader anti-democratic, pro-fascist agenda, aiming to create a culture of intimidation among federal personnel, as articulated by figures like Russ Vought.
