SCOOP—In August, nearly 200 current/former FEMA staffers published the Katrina Declaration, a whistleblower letter detailing all the dangers posed by current leadership.
All current employees were put on indefinite leave, and now I've learned one has been fired in violation of federal protections:

FEMA employee terminated for signing whistleblower letter
It appears to be a major violation of federal whistleblower protections and constitutional rights.

At a time of major workforce shortages, why would the Department of Education make it harder for nurses to obtain advanced training?

A new federal directive by Mehmet Oz allows the sharing of Medicaid applicant data with DHS effective immediately, rescinding previous “interagency integrity” firewalls. This forces mixed-status families into an impossible calculus: access life-saving medical care or remain invisible to enforcement.
NEWS: Medicaid Data Now Flows to ICE
Effective today, a new federal directive allows immigration enforcement to access state healthcare enrollment data, TPS ends for thousands of Burmese war refugees, plus Kristi Noem explainer video.

I'm thankful for the demise of DOGE. I'd be a heck of a lot more thankful if all the damage done by DOGE could be undone or repaired. American leadership thrown away and millions of lives destroyed by DOGE and its apologists.
Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone except DOGE, which recklessly pulled funding from USAID, the government agency responsible for providing humanitarian aid to those who need it around the world. Now, an estimated 600,000 people have died, including 400,000 kids, because of DOGE's cuts.
