Alabama federal workers are experiencing fear and devastation as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) looks to shrink government and cut employees. Chelsy Lyons, a worker at the Social Security Administration office in Birmingham, has been emotional about her concerns over DOGE efforts. President Donald Trump has targeted federal agencies in an attempt to cut waste and save money, leaving workers and beneficiaries at risk. Rep. Terri Sewell, D-Birmingham, has shown solidarity with federal workers, emphasizing the importance of their work and livelihoods. Federal workers are being asked to report their weekly activities, taking time away from assisting beneficiaries. Social Security beneficiaries are also worried about potential cuts to their benefits. The House Republicans’ budget blueprint leaves room for cuts to health care programs. Sewell and Lyons are calling for a plan to support federal workers and ensure essential services are preserved. They emphasize the importance of caring for the well-being of workers and beneficiaries during these uncertain times.
