The workers, whose agency oversees the nation’s nuclear stockpile, had been fired on Thursday and lost access to their federal government email accounts.

Summary

The Trump administration abruptly fired multiple National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) employees, then struggled to reinstate some due to a lack of updated contact information.

The NNSA, which oversees the U.S. nuclear stockpile, asked remaining employees to relay the message.

The terminations, part of mass federal layoffs orchestrated by Trump and Elon Musk, coincided with a Russian drone strike on Chernobyl, raising security concerns.

    And then this asshole has the balls to ask them to come back? Wow, just wow!

    He doesn’t even have the balls to do that. He’s asking their coworkers to do it for him.

      Yep, this is 100% a lie.

      They’re so afraid of looking weak by admitting fault they’d rather look incompetent by claiming the US Government doesn’t know how to contact the people in charge of our nukes.
