18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people: 18f.org

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

The bloodbath at NOAA apparently included meteorologists with the National Weather Service; scientists inside what’s simply known as NOAA Research, or the office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) more formally; technicians that keep up the country’s weather instrumentation;

A large majority of Americans approve of the job their postal workers, park rangers, NASA scientists, and CDC professionals do. They are significantly more popular than the President, Musk, and Congress. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

Authoritarianism doesn’t always start with tanks in the streets… 📌 Saturday: The Trump administration fired 20 immigration judges without explanation. 📌 Friday: 13 judges who hadn’t even been sworn in yet—plus five assistant chief immigration judges—were dismissed without notice.

Pandemics do not begin with official announcements. They start with quiet deletions, missing reports, and assurances that there is "no cause for concern." Pay attention.

Too many people took government facts and data for granted, and didn't realize how much this information matters—in daily life and the big picture, from weather to economics to health research. Now, too late, I think they will. From October @thebulwark.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/say-goodby...

Federal folks at risk of layoffs and resignations - confirm your coverage eligibility post-termination with your insurance company. Fill prescriptions, etc. in case you lose benefits. Get your info from a trusted source. Beware of a DOGEy-looking site with sketchy fine print:

UPDATE: Black women died at a rate nearly 3.5 times higher than white women at childbirth in 2023, and we can expect this to get much worse under Trump with RFK Jr running HHS. This is a brutal, systemic failure. Wake up, America!

SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202. I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have cut off funding for half of the health centers that serve 400,000 Virginians, forcing some to close, which could mean up to 200,000 Virginians are suddenly without healthcare www.vpm.org/news/2025-02...

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

LOL the White House released its policy stating that White House personnel may never engage in communications with DoJ that could influence an investigation. Then it spends 3 pages explaining that the president can, though.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

The court order "restricting" DOGE's access to Treasury payment systems exempts two DOGE operatives: a multinational CEO, Tom Krause, and Marko Elez, a recent college grad who worked at SpaceX. The order limits their access to "read only."

This is possibly the most astonishing thing I've read from the last week. DOGE re-writing air traffic control. DOGE gutting USAID & raiding its SCIF. DOGE hoovering up OPM. All of it madness. But this one is worse. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...
