Summary
IRS worker Robert McCabe, a Trump voter, expressed shock after being among 7,000 laid off by DOGE, an initiative under the Trump administration led by Elon Musk.
McCabe stated DOGE is acting like a “wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason.”
The layoffs, targeting probationary employees with less than a year of service, affect hundreds at the IRS and are part of a broader effort to shrink the federal workforce.
The cuts raise concerns about impacts on tax collection during a critical season.
Realization is not enough. If you voted for Trump you need to actively work to undo the damage you caused. This isn’t a forgive and forget situation.
