A foreign service worker whose pregnant wife allegedly was denied emergency medical transport while stationed abroad has filed an affidavit in federal court against the Trump administration, claiming its “rushed, haphazard and cruel” push to shut down the U.S. Agency for International Development has placed the mother and unborn daughter at grave risk.
The worker, who identified themselves only as "Terry Doe" in a filing that's part of a larger case in federal court in Washington, D.C., charges that the U.S. government twice denied previously approved medical transport orders for the mother, who is 31-weeks pregnant.
“Each day has brought a new constellation of suffering,” the worker said, describing the administration’s directives as conflicting, confusing and cruel. “Because of the stress and strain of the constant onslaught by my employer in recent weeks my wife has repeatedly been in the hospital with a life-threatening condition and stress-related complications.”
The worker said they called everyone they could think of for help before finally finding a sympathetic senator who intervened. But by then the worker’s spouse had begun hemorrhaging and needed emergency hospitalization at their overseas post. She must now remain on bed rest, as they were told it would be too risky to move the mother and unborn child, the filing said.
The worker said the events that led to the life-threatening situation were due to the administration's rushed desire to shut down an agency. “Our lives are acceptable collateral damage for their political gain," the worker said.

I really don’t care, Margaret.
This story is full of holes, we’ll see what really happened
Fromt the article
“The worker, who identified themselves only as “Terry Doe” in a filing”
In other words it is all a lie and the person involved has been paid by some democratic operative to file this garbage to create a new narrative and justify more law fare.
If there was a real pregnancy issue I am now way less inclined to give any sympathy as they are using it for a political weapon, how much do you think such people actually care about the pregnancy, other then as a political tool
The author couldn’t even bother listing the overseas location.
Fake News.
Fake news is described as any report from the mainstream media. There may be some element of truth to it, but the overall intent is to control the narrative of sheeple and very stupid people.
I often wonder if these presstitutes know the average reaction to this crap is AGAINST their lies and in FAVOR of Trump/Musk.
BS. Same clown filed an affidavit that placing him on PAID Administrative leave would jeopardies the health of this pregnant wife and child.
PURE make-believe proapganda
Have the Democrats start a GoFundMe page.
She likely would have had the same outcome even if she’d gotten prompt medical care.
Sometimes pregnancies just don’t work out.
So..
I guess it is illegal to fire someone if their WIFE (that does not work at the company) is pregnant?
Am I understanding that right?
Basic rule of law in the West. You MUST be able to confront you accuser. Anonymous affidavits are pure bs that should be inadmissible
A little bit of digging could uncover the fact that her free rides to the doctor’s office overseas were denied....
WHILE BIDEN WAS STILL PRESIDENT.
PERSONAL Responsibility.
In other words, take responsibility for your own family.
And the person won’t give their real name
IOW, “We’re upset we no longer have our sugar daddy, and the tantrums we’re throwing have been so stressful, we’ve put her pregnancy in jeopardy”.
From the article: The worker, who identified themselves...
"Worker" is singular. "Themselves" and "they" in other places are plural. Either AI or more trans-insanity. We can't expect much real intelligence from this article.
Every single one of these fake stories is doing the opposite of what the Left intends. People in ALL walks of life have had to deal with layoffs, losing jobs, etc, and it sucks but it’s part of life. There is nothing special about being a fed employee that gives you some sort of “pity credit.” People watch and read these stories and get angrier and angrier that they’re being told to feel sorry for them!
Do the worker and his wife even exist?
