New York Times: “About 30 percent of civil service employees in the federal government are veterans, and many have lost jobs in the Trump administration’s drive to cut federal spending. President Trump and Elon Musk, who is leading the cutbacks, have fired about 20,000 workers on probationary status — and about 6,000 were veterans, according to a count by Democrats.”
