House Democrats invite ousted federal workers to Trump’s speech to Congress
The Washington Times ^ | March 3, 2025 | Mallory Wilson

Instead of boycotting President Trump’s address Tuesday to a joint session of Congress, Democrats took a different approach — bringing guests who are laid off federal workers.

.
.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Massachusetts Democrat, is joining her Democratic colleagues in the House by bringing another federal worker who lost his job as her guest — Doug Kowalewski, who worked at the National Science Foundation for three-and-a-half years.

“I’m bringing Doug to force Trump to confront the federal workers he fired – the people who make this country run,” Ms. Warren said in a statement. She said cutting the NSF “isn’t efficient — it’s cruel, short-sighted and it’s costing American jobs and devastating millions of families.”

What was so “diverse” about him? The name doesn’t sound black. Is he a furry or something?

Hey Doc, you’ve just been liberated from the shackles of the federal government. Take advantage of it.

No- this is the way you play the game....President Trump should invite all the families of victims killed by illegals and remind the nation the dems are to blame.

The fired USAID workers should be arrested as they enter and charged with giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

Democrats want us to believe there is no waste, fraud, and abuse in the Federal Government.
Trump hired Elon Musk to look into it, who says there’s LOTS of waste, fraud, and abuse.
So who ya gonna believe, people who don’t know the difference between a boy and a girl, or someone who can parallel park a rocket booster?

Could not think of a more anti Science, anti American dogma. Science and Engineering are the very very last fields where diversity should be made a priority over merit. Really want to driver over bridges who's engineer was only hired because he thinks he is a she?

Exactly. It’s all about the visuals. Democrats want the American people to be sympathetic for the poor government workers being laid off.

I’m sure the Trump team will counter this visual with their own, such as what you suggested by possibly inviting the families of victims killed by illegals or maybe families who lost their homes in the California fires to reinforce the consequences of having incompetent Democrats in office.

Trump should invite representatives from the Keystone Pipeline who lost their jobs on Biden first day.
