Following a nurse’s death, federal workers have demanded officials’ removal while rumors swirl that Homeland Security officials are drafting plans that would defy the Second Amendment.

The American Federation of Government Employees has called for the immediate removal of two architects of the current order, Secretary Kristi Noem and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.
This follows the death of Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse whose service in the trenches of our national crises stood in stark contrast to the gilded remove of those who make policy from afar.
The union’s statement is a moral indictment, suggesting that the philosophies espoused by these officials have consequences measured in human breath, and that Pretti’s may be among them.
