After DOGE Targeted V.A., an Iraq Veteran Faced Uncertainty and Crisis
Briefly

Joy Marver, a veteran and V.A. support specialist, finds herself locked out of her job amid mass firings initiated by the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency initiative. With over 30,000 government employees affected, the chaotic implementation has led to confusion and legal challenges regarding the legitimacy of the layoffs. Marver feels disoriented, facing dismissal from a system she devoted her career to, and is uncertain about her employment status. The V.A. plans further cuts, highlighting the turmoil within federal employment amid ongoing legal disputes.
"The chaotic execution of the Department of Government Efficiency initiative has left thousands of federal workers in limbo, unable to determine their employment statuses or future."
"After a court ruled last week that many of the firings were illegal, the government began reinstating workers, even as the Trump administration appealed the decision and promised more layoffs."
