  • Murray said Wednesday she was frightened about what could come next in the new administration's attempts to slash the federal workforce.

The article from KING 5 discusses U.S. Senator Patty Murray's reaction to the reported firings of 17,000 public workers, including many veterans, by the Trump administration. Murray described the move as a "betrayal" to these workers and veterans, criticizing the administration for undermining the federal workforce and the services they provide to the public. She highlighted the negative impact on veterans, noting that many of those affected had served their country and were now being let go in what she perceives as a politically motivated purge. Murray called for the administration to reverse these decisions and ensure that federal employees, especially veterans, are treated with the respect and job security they deserve.
