Trump Has Fired The People In Charge Of Maintaining And Fixing America's Nukes

The National Nuclear Security Administration is a very important part of government with a crucial job: Maintaining America’s surprisingly commonplace nuclear weapons. The NNSA ensures the nukes don’t go off accidentally, that they’re in good repair, and that nobody is stealing them. The first head of the agency, John Gordon, lasted two years into Bush’s term despite being a Clinton appointee, and for most of Obama’s tenure, the head of the NNSA was Tom D’Agostino, a Bush appointee, before D’Agostino stepped aside for Frank Klotz.
