President Trump's sweeping measures from tariffs to federal worker cuts are taking shape in Washington,

but their impact is already rippling far beyond the Capitol.

Correspondent Lisa Desjardin traveled to Red State, Nebraska, where livelihoods are on the line.

As each day starts in rural Nebraska, Lindsey Nielsen makes breakfast, gets her kids out the door,

love you, sweetie, bye.

And drives her youngest to school.

And that's where these days the normal routine ends, thanks to an email she read to us.

Your ability, knowledge, and skills do not fit the agency's current needs and your performance

has not been adequate.

Lindsay was fired from her job at the FDA, then temporarily reinstated by a court order.

She's now on administrative leave.

What's it feel like you've been reading that now?

It's still very, very hurtful. It's a lie completely.

Her performance reviews portray a top employee in a microbiology job affecting millions,

approving tests for COVID, the flu, and other fast-moving and changing diseases. Like nearly

60% of Nebraska, she voted for Trump and initially was glad he won.

What happened afterwards, though, is not something I expected. I did not expect there to be such

a massive, quick rash cut to the federal government. I really expected it to be logical.

She and her husband are veterans and serve in the Army Reserves. They're also both federal employees, accepting multiple moves and

lower pay as the price of public service. What would it mean if both of you all are rift or

terminated? It means that we both will find new jobs.

I think we'll bounce back.
