Some also worry that disabled federal workers may have been disproportionately hurt by the terminations. Tighe and Goidel were hired through Schedule A, which allows a probationary period of up to two years. Other federal employees typically have one year of probation.Tighe suspects that if she hadn’t been hired through the special hiring authority, she might still have a job, given that no one else on her team was let go.

Goidel, who was converted to permanent status with full tenure in 2019, says his employment with the federal government motivated him to continue his education and pursue a master’s degree in employment law. He says the decision to slash jobs at the IRS’ EEO office will mean there are fewer federal workers able to investigate harassment claims and that could result in more litigation against the government.The White House is promoting its efforts to provide services for disabled individuals and veterans.In an email to The Associated Press, a White House official pointed to student loan forgiveness for completely disabled veterans and record low unemployment for people with disabilities during Trump’s first term.

Hunter reported from Atlanta.Collaborations are few and pointed. Shelton and Stefani harmonize beautifully on “Hanging On’"; he does

on “Heaven Sweet Home,” an affecting meditation of mortality. He taps Josh Anderson for the slow-burn closer “Years.”Shelton might live a very different life than the characters found in his songs, as is often true of any larger-than-life celebrity performer. But make no mistake, this is a giant pop country record, with limitless potential for radio ubiquity.
