Emails titled “What Did You Do Last Week? Part II” were sent to federal employees, instructing us to list five bullet points of our accomplishments and copy our managers. This time, we were informed that it will be a weekly requirement, due by 11:59 p.m. ET on Mondays.

In South Africa, Samkelo shared his last HIV/AIDS medications with his friend. Trump's cuts to #PEPFAR could kill both of them. A salute to the @financialtimes.com for this searing report. @brandonwolf.bsky.social @gregggonsalves.bsky.social @ambdanfoote.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/533b...

🚨🚨🚨 Today, two major threats to the NLRB were issued. First, the Agency’s leadership instructed all employees that they are unlawfully forcing employees to return to the office full-time by March 31. Second, OPM told all agencies to begin Reduction-in-Force (RIF) plans.

If you are in DC, you can honor and support fired USAID staff during the final indignity of office clean-outs. All day, Thursday & Friday. Ronald Reagan Building. I wish I could be there, it feels meaningful to bear witness & show solidarity.

When you describe the actual agenda of the Republican Party to ordinary people—like this kind of comical reverse Robin Hoodism—time & time again researchers find that they simply will not believe you. They cannot fathom anyone could be this cartoonishly evil.

Information was shared illegally. A career employee at the Social Security Administration provided unauthorized access to data to Elon Musk’s staffers. This employee, Leland Dudek, a data analyst, was recently promoted to acting commissioner by Trump.

I spent my Lyft ride home from my medical appointment explaining the apparent spike in aviation accidents, and how there aren’t more but they’re getting more national attention. And then we talked about how this administration is terrible and scary until I arrived back home.

🚨🚨🚨 Yesterday, the NLRB’s Buffalo office (Region 3) received word from its landlord that GSA—acting on behalf of DOGE—had unilaterally cancelled the Region’s five-year lease, without any prior notice to the Agency. The Region has been given 90 days to vacate the building.

Today, February 19, 2025, is the Save Our Services day of action for federal employees and their unions. We are coming together to say ‘NO’ to Elon Musk's push to gut federal services and impose unlawful mass layoffs of hard-working civil servants across the federal government.

NEW: NSF confirmed that they fired 168 employees today, out of their staff of ~1,500 feds. This includes some people who'd finished their 1-year probationary periods, which were extended to 2-years last month without explanation. More to come.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.
