What if You Get Fired for No Reason? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In most states, your employer can legally fire you without giving a reason. But “at-will employment” doesn’t cover illegal reasons like retaliation or discrimination. If you suspect that’s what really happened, here’s what to do.Getting fired for no reason sucks. For starters, it’s confusing. When you ask them WHY you are being fired, they might say “restructuring.” What does that even mean?

Read excerpt
On March 31, 2026, Trump signed Executive Order No. 14399, dubiously labeled “Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections.” Never mind the fact that voter eligibility is already confirmed by the states.
