Dozens of rank and file prosecutors have been fired from the DOJ, because they worked on cases against the January 6 defendants or on cases against Trump.
As others have asserted, this happens with every administration changeover. It is only more publicly viewable now (as in, people are reporting on it) due to the nature of the administration. Now is a time for unity and joining together as Americans, not for divisiveness.
What? Firing regular prosecutors is NOT normal.

> If the President gets elected promising to fire executive branch employees, then his doing so is literally democratic. You seem to think the President can do whatever he wants, in constrained by laws. Which may be true in this case, but because the laws aren’t being followed, not because they don’t exist.
What I think is that electing the president is the only way the constitution provides for democratic control of what’s become the largest and most powerful branch. And ensuring democratic responsiveness of the executive—a civil service that will diligently execute the agenda of whomever is elected President—is of overriding importance to the health of democracy.
A country where the same people are in charge regardless of who wins the election isn’t a democracy. And I think this shouldn’t be a partisan point, because the federal bureaucracy in the aggregate is like the worst parts of the Obama and Bush administrations mushed together.

> The bill’s passage came despite concerns over the constitutionality of a provision creating a Class E felony, punishable by up to 6 years in prison and a $3,000 fine, for any public official who votes in favor of so-called sanctuary policies.

If anything, these billionaires are concerned that Chinese power is in it's ability to control its people and businesses and democracy gets in the way. Pure delusional greed of silver spoon tech incels.

From your link:
>making it a felony for public officials to back sanctuary policies.
Saying "vote against Republicans" makes it sound like voting against any Trump policy is a crime.
