A new audio series published by the group Federal Workers Against DOGE looks at the plight of fired federal workers whose jobs and careers were cut short by the Trump administration’s systematic defunding of government services in favor of tax cuts for the wealthy and the reallotment of resources to anti-immigration enforcement. I Do Solemnly Swear, co-created and directed by filmmaker Laura Nix, features interviews with current and former employees of federal agencies including the FAA, CDC, EPA, IRS and more. “I felt it was very important to focus on not just the illegality of the firings, but the impact on Americans,” says Nix. “We’ve depended for a very long time [on] these benefits, the safety of our highways, our water, our airspace, [but] we’re learning that these are all being taken away.”
