It has been revealed that officials from the Trump administration were scrambling to reinstate employees of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) who had been dismissed.
On February 13, approximately 300 employees were fired. However, after facing widespread criticism over concerns related to national security, the decision was reversed on February 14. As a result, all but 25 employees were reinstated.
Among those dismissed were supervisors and inspectors working at nuclear weapons production facilities. The NNSA reported that the mass layoffs not only disrupted operations but also severely impacted employee morale and trust. The agency criticized the move as reckless and irresponsible, emphasizing that it relies heavily on non-political staff to oversee nuclear security.

I’m glad it got resolved before nuclear weapons were used in retaliation.
The speed at which they fired and reinstated people is surprising.
I just hope the knowledge of those who didn’t return doesn’t end up in the hands of other countries…
