How is Virginia responding to federal job cuts by the Trump administration?

Governor Glenn Youngkin announced that Virginia is preparing an aid package for residents losing their jobs due to the Trump administration's cuts to the federal workforce. While defending the necessity of these cuts, Youngkin expressed deep concern for workers anxious about their employment future as the White House eliminates positions across nearly every agency. The cuts have already affected hundreds of FAA workers, map makers, cancer researchers, and FEMA staffers, with thousands more impacted in recent weeks. This is particularly significant for Virginia, which ranks among the top states for federal employment with over 140,000 federal workers, making it disproportionately affected by these workforce reductions.
