Trump Fires CPSC Democrats Amid Agency Overhaul | JQJO

President Trump abruptly fired all three Democratic commissioners from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) via email. The firings, which occurred overnight, followed the commissioners' refusal to cooperate with Trump's informal "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE). The dismissals have sparked outrage among Democrats and consumer protection groups, who accuse Trump of attempting to dismantle the CPSC. At least one commissioner has vowed legal action, citing the illegality of the firings. The White House defended the action, stating the President has the authority to remove executive branch employees.
