How Democrats Will Harness Outrage for Trump's Big Speech
Briefly

President Trump is scheduled to deliver his first joint address to Congress since reelection, emphasizing cuts to federal agencies aimed at reducing spending. This has resulted in substantial job losses, sparking discontent among many Americans. In a strategic move, Congressional Democrats are inviting recently laid-off federal workers to attend the address, aiming to highlight the human impact of these cuts. Key figures, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and several representatives, have spotlighted individual cases of veterans and other employees affected by these layoffs in a bid to challenge the administration's actions.
"Firing her, firing veterans, and slashing thousands from the VA workforce is outrageous and should be reversed. This is not how you treat our veterans - it's not just unacceptable, it's un-American."
"Several Democratic members of Congress revealed they have invited federal workers who recently lost their jobs to attend the president's address as their personal guests."
