Today, U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), Vice Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, issued the following statement on President Trump signing a new executive order ordering massive, careless job cuts to federal agencies that are already understaffed—and are struggling to keep up with the demand for their services from the American people.

“Donald Trump and Elon Musk have never waited in line at a Social Security office or tried to get health care at the VA—and their reckless assault on our federal workforce shows that they sure couldn’t care less about the people who do. Arbitrary staffing cuts across government are the exact opposite of efficient; they will just make it harder for taxpayers to get the essential services they have earned.”
