💨 Abstract

Former federal workers in the D.C. area, recently laid off due to President Trump's "Department of Government Efficiency" cuts, met with Democratic Senators Chris Van Hollen and Peter Welch. The lawmakers acknowledged the challenges faced by these workers and their families, apologizing for the government's handling of the situation. Senator Welch encouraged the children of former employees to be proud of their parents' work. One such worker, Denise Joseph, expressed the impact of losing her job at the U.S.
