"Grand Theft Government": Federal Workers Send SOS over Musk's DOGE, Mass Firings & Service Cuts

Democracy Now!

Aired: Feb 20, 2025

Amid the indiscriminate dismantling of the federal government by the Trump administration's Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency, federalworkers, thousands of whom could lose their jobs, are fighting back. "All of us do something not only essential, but also mandated by Congress," says union organizer and Army Corps of Engineers employee Chris Dols. Dols is part of a growing movement of federal workers and their allies staging mass protests to "Save Our Services" and warning of the long-term consequences of these extreme cuts to the bureaucracy. "They're trying to immiserate the working class, and they're doing it through the federal workforce," says Dols, who is also a national coordinator with the FederalUnionists Network. "It's about gutting the services that create a safety net in this country, because the more miserable we are, the easier it is for them to exploit us." He calls on the larger public to join the worker-led movement resisting these radical cuts. "The whole public sphere is at stake."
