I thought it was illegal to retaliate against whistleblowers? Does it not apply to the government?
When the Republicans control the judicial system, "illegal" only applies to Democrats.
Our whistleblower laws are more or less toothless.
Seems like they can always find something. Or make up something to fire a person over. “He was 5 minutes late for a meeting in 1975” or other bullshit.
You can still sue if that punishment isn't being consistently applied. It's a civil trial, so you don't have to prove retaliation beyond a shadow of a doubt.
You can also gather evidence into court records as part of the civil trial. This can lead to a more serious trial against DeSantis et al.
