If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

If you held out for a RIF rather than taking the fork in the road, you may have an extra layer of protection Some federal employees may be considering resigning rather than waiting to be told they've been terminated. But that may not be the best route. federalnewsnetwork.com/workforce/20...

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

President Trump warned federal workers who did not reply to recent emails asking them to describe "five things" they accomplished are "on the bubble" suggesting they are at risk of losing their jobs.

Boycotts are taking hold. Protests are on the rise. Federal courts are hitting back. The Trump-Musk-Vance regime's popularity is plunging and DOGE is losing credibility. GOP leadership is now advising lawmakers to avoid holding in person town halls. Keep up the fight.

As Elon Musk guts entire government agencies and fires thousands of federal workers that deliver vital services to the country, remember that his corporations have received at least $38 billion in government contracts over the past 20 years. Yet will any of this be touched by DOGE? Of course not.

Had a conversation with a non political person whose buddy works for the forest service and was 10 months into his job supplying hard to reach parts of a national forest and was fired. The guy talking to me was like “I don’t really think my buddy’s $50,000 salary is gonna balance the budget.”

FWS update from multiple sources: Planning scenario due tomorrow for 10%, 20%, and 40% reductions. All programs (hatcheries, ecological services, refuges, migratory birds) are expected to be impacted, although maybe at differing levels. Fire and law enforcement seem to be excluded. (Who knows?)

btw one thing I learned at the training i went to this weekend is that bc ICE isn't allowed anywhere in a business that a customer wouldn't be allowed, an employees only sign on a door is enough to cause them to need a warrant. "closed for a private event" guarantees the same

Trump's funding cuts are putting Oregonians in the literal line of fire. Wildfire prevention and mitigation groups across the West are having to lay off staff and close doors just ahead of fire season, all so Republicans can give another tax handout to Elon Musk.

Elon’s tweets indicating resignations/terminations, but not stating that in the official emails, shows this is nothing but him trying to posture to his minions without having any real influence.

A Southwest Airlines plane was forced to abort its landing this morning after a private jet taxied in front of it across the runway at Midway Airport in Chicago. Whatever that guy from The Real World is doing with the FAA has gotta stop.

From a guy who used to work there: Rachel is a remarkable person and the best TV news talent there is. If she says something is fucked up, it is. Getting rid of Joy, who dared to see through this fascism bullshit years ago and had the gall of occasionally being funny about it, is dumb.

From food safety to air travel to environmental protections, Trump and Musk have gone on a firing spree at agencies that protect nearly every facet of American life. This has nothing to do with "efficiency" and everything to do with lining their own pockets at our expense.
