Summary
The Trump administration mistakenly fired over 300 National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) employees, only to reverse course after realizing their roles in overseeing the U.S. nuclear arsenal.
The NNSA is housed under the Department of Energy, which is tasked with researching and oversight of nuclear power and nuclear weapons, as well as energy production in general.
The firings were part of a broader purge led by Trump and Elon Musk, which has sparked lawsuits.
Experts warn that disruptions at NNSA threaten national security.
These news came up on my notifications earlier as “Trump administration fired nuclear…” and gave me a minor heart attack
Come on even Trump won’t do that without warning. Not that he wouldn’t do it period, but we’d see some relevant posturing first. I think.
The Bar is low. I’m waiting for him to nuke the border.
