The workers, whose agency oversees the nation’s nuclear stockpile, had been fired on Thursday and lost access to their federal government email accounts.

Summary

The Trump administration abruptly fired multiple National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) employees, then struggled to reinstate some due to a lack of updated contact information.

The NNSA, which oversees the U.S. nuclear stockpile, asked remaining employees to relay the message.

The terminations, part of mass federal layoffs orchestrated by Trump and Elon Musk, coincided with a Russian drone strike on Chernobyl, raising security concerns.

    These guys are so cartoonishly bad at everything that they can’t even fire people right.

    This shit is the closest I’ve ever been to believing in god, because I’m desperately running out of other ways to explain how anyone this absolutely inept at everything could fail up so hard. If it’s not divine intervention then I don’t know what the fuck the world even is anymore.
