If they are political appointees, they have no protections. Employers do this all the time. If you are looking, then they are looking for your replacement (which they do anyway).

HR Exec (30+ yrs) here. Employment at Will - you can be fired at any time for any reason or no reason. Political appointees certainly fall into this category.

Can’t apply for unemployment if you quit. Looking for a job isn’t a “for cause” reason to fire someone so that wouldn’t stop them either.
