      Ordinarily you’d need ground for dismissal, yes. But one of the first things Trump did was follow the plan for Project 2025 which included, amongst other things, reclassifying a fuck ton of government jobs as political jobs, enabling Trump to hire and fire people for political reasons.

      In almost everywhere in the US, you can fire anyone, at any time, for any reason, or for no reason at all, as long as it’s not because of membership in a protected class (age, sex, gender, national origin, etc.). (Or, obviously, if there’s union or other rules around it.)
