“I was a MAGA junkie, a MAGA junkie who thought her government job would be safe with Donald Trump in office,” says West Virginia woman fired from the Bureau of Fiscal Service.

Summary

Jennifer Piggott, a self-proclaimed “MAGA junkie” from Parkersburg, West Virginia, regrets voting for Donald Trump after being fired from the Bureau of Fiscal Service during widespread cuts under DOGE.

Despite earning top performance reviews, she was among 125 civil service workers dismissed, sparking local outrage.

Piggott expressed disappointment, saying she expected Trump to protect working-class jobs.

A federal judge ordered reinstatement, but the Trump administration appealed to the Supreme Court, leaving affected workers on paid leave.

Piggott has faced vandalism and threats after speaking out.

    that’s funny. as far as the government is concerned if you aren’t in a specialized position and are just doing a job you’re just an irrelevant face in the crowd who doesn’t matter. your positions were going to be the first to be slashed outright. and he told y’all that. and you voted for him anyway.

    my concepts of sympathy for you.
