WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump and Elon Musk haven’t just been taking a chainsaw through federal departments in Washington, D.C. Their crusade against regular Americans, and the services they depend on, has found its latest target: public servants directly serving in communities across the country. 

The Trump-Musk Administration’s DOGE has taken aim at workers across the country who are providing critical services ranging from veterans’ care, administration of Social Security benefits, public health, forest service management, and more. That’s because at least 80% of all federal workers live outside of the Beltway, with federal field offices facing cuts which will lead to degraded services in communities in every state. Already, Americans are feeling the impact of office closures and the elimination of jobs:

  • In Pennsylvania, DOGE is closing Rural Housing Service, IRS, and Fish and Wildlife Services field offices intended to directly serve Pennsylvanians.  
  • In  Nevada, workers responsible for operating and maintaining federal office buildings in Las Vegas and Reno were fired. 
  • In Michigan, hundreds of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration employees were fired impacting labs in Ann Arbor and Muskegon studying the Great Lakes. 

“What Donald Trump and Elon Musk aren’t telling you is that under the banner of DOGE they are gutting Americans’ jobs and eliminating their essential services all across the country,” said Accountable.US Executive Director Tony Carrk. “From veterans’ services to Social Security benefits, the Administration is recklessly playing politics with benefits Americans depend on. It’s all in service of paying for tax cuts which will benefit Trump, Musk, and their wealthy friend’s pocketbooks, but push regular Americans further behind.”
