State Sen. Angus McKelvey and US Rep. Jill Tokuda are rebuking the administration of President Donald Trump for the loss of thousands of federal jobs as part of an effort to shrink government bureaucracy.
Earlier this week, US Rep. Jill Tokuda reached out to constituents to seek out their stories on how they’ve been harmed by the Trump Administration and the Department of Government Efficiency.
“From firing our federal workers without cause, threatening to cut funding for essential lifeline programs like Medicaid and SNAP, and inciting fear and panic in everyday Americans concerned for their well-being, we know that these recent actions from the Trump Administration and DOGE have been making life more difficult for our communities who rely on the federal government for support,” Tokuda said. “The best way to fight back is to put a real human face to these inhumane and unconstitutional actions on the administrative and executive level.”
Tokuda said it’s “critical to us to hear directly from members of our community and hear your stories. To best understand how the changes are affecting you and guide our actions in fighting against them, we need to know how the Trump Administration and DOGE’s efforts to cut government have affected everyday life for our people, businesses, and community.”
