What is the White House's rationale for the widespread federal firings?

The White House maintains that these federal firings represent what people voted for - a dramatic overhaul of the federal government. According to their viewpoint, Americans deserve a federal bureaucracy committed to the president's agenda. The cuts have been both deep and broad, affecting unexpected areas like the Kennedy Library in Boston, which had to close temporarily, and the National Institutes of Health, where over a thousand employees were let go. The administration is expected to continue this pattern with future cuts at the Pentagon.
