I'm digging down details on a few stories, but I'm very interested in hearing from any federal employees or contractors: * who are just seeing DOGE folks coming into your agencies now * about what has happened in the wake of a DOGE bomb: rehires, canceled programs, big changes, etc. Signal: crg.32

Hi there. Are you someone who took the deferred resignation offer from Elon musk? Do you know someone who did? I'm trying to get a sense of how it's going. Please hit me up (DMs are open, am also on signal at asteinindc.09)

NEW: The director of data science and engineering for what is now known as the US DOGE Service has resigned. "If DOGE truly was concerned with efficiency, they wouldn’t have fired experts in procurement," she writes, "who prevent waste up front." This is by @makenakelly.bsky.social

JOURNALISTS: Q from a friend who works at the VA: “Do you know any journalists who might want to speak to a veteran who was just laid off due to the mass layoffs that happened overnight at VA?” DM me if you’re a journalist and you’re interested

Hi fed friends. With all these software updates it’s reasonable to assume that DOGE is looking for ways to monitor us. Be careful what you say around gov phones and laptops. Consider ditching your gov phone. Do not retain gov software on personal devices.

The union representing CDC is AFGE local 2883. You're eligible to join if your SF50 has code 7777 in box 37. You can join here: www.afge2883ga.org Bargaining units are subsets of union members. There is currently no unit at CDC. Non-bargaining union members have benefits: www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov...

This is not a U.S. Marshal, Federal Protective Service, or any other federal law enforcement officer. This is a private security guard from Triple Canopy. He has no authority to block members of Congress who have oversight of the EPA from entering the building.

Hey smart legal people - do we have an actionable case that our data was released without permission to the doge dorks?

We can confirm that the communication ban at CDC (and presumably all of HHS) has been extended for at least another week with no specified end date. No external communication with local, state, or territorial health departments, healthcare systems, or the public. In the setting of ongoing outbreaks.

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.
