Some of the fired probationary employees included on-the-ground staff at facilities where nuclear weapons are built.

Trump administration officials fired more than 300 staffers Thursday night at the National Nuclear Security Administration — the agency tasked with managing the nation’s nuclear stockpile — as part of broader Energy Department layoffs, according to four people with knowledge of the matter.

      I could also see them being manipulated by outside powers so that weapons might mysteriously end up in foreign hands.

      They are both ignorant and pliable.

      TBH it’s on message for them.

      The guy they had to lead the DOE last time had no idea what they did, either. It’s nice to see that at least some things don’t change.
