Nevada's federal building safety at risk as DOGE axes GSA staff, senator warns

Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez Masto condemned Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) firing of all General Services Administration employees in Nevada in a post on the social media platform X.

The senator said Donald Trump fired all of the General Services Administration employees in Nevada.

She wrote on X,

"I'm just hearing that Donald Trump has fired all of the General Services Admin. employees in Nevada."

"These are the workers that maintain our federal buildings and courthouses, including their security systems - and he wants them all gone. This is outrageous!"

"Social Security workers, U.S. Marshals, the Army Corps of Engineers - all of them work out of federal buildings in Reno and Las Vegas."

"They rely on the GSA to keep their buildings safe and functioning so they can do their jobs and serve Nevadans. Now that's in jeopardy."

"Why is Donald Trump eliminating the support that keeps our federal courtrooms functioning? He must want to make it harder for judges to do their jobs."

"One of the top DOGE officials in charge of this reckless strategy runs the Boring Company right here in Las Vegas. He should know better about the impacts this will have on our state."

"But the fact is Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their cronies don't care."
