Mass Federal Worker Firings: A Grave Security Risk for the US
The mass firing of federal employees under the Trump-Musk administration creates a significant national security risk. Thousands of individuals with access to sensitive information are now vulnerable to recruitment by foreign adversaries like Russia and China. This unprecedented situation presents a substantial counterespionage challenge for the U.S., as the number of potential targets vastly surpasses typical annual turnover. Experts warn that even a single compromised former employee could cause a national security crisis, highlighting the increased risk posed by this widespread job displacement.
