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.

    Can’t wait until they fire half of NASA and then we lose all of our satellite, launch, tracking and deep space capabilities.

    Whoops, we abandoned all the astronauts in orbit when we shut down Houston! Guess they’re on their own! What do you mean, the ISS is about to crash into Washington DC?!
