"Many people...depend on Treasury’s...disbursement of...funds.... Any hint of the selective suspension of congressionally authorized payments will be a breach of trust & ultimately, a form of default. And our credibility, once lost, will prove difficult to regain."

NEW: Trump’s acting secretary of HHS just sent out an agency-wide email mandating the end of all DEIA offices and contracts—and setting up a tip line for employees to report any contract or job position altered “since November 5, 2024 to obscure the connection between the contract and DEIA.” Text:
TO: HHS Employees THROUGH: Dorothy A. Fink, MD, Acting Secretary FROM: Scott W. Rowell, Deputy Chief of Staff - Operations DATE: January 22, 2025 SUBJECT: Information: DEIA Office Closure The Department of Health and Human Services is taking steps to close all agency DEIA offices and end all DEIA-related contracts in accordance with President Trump's executive orders titled Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing and Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions. These programs divided Americans by race, wasted taxpayer dollars, and resulted in shameful discrimination. We are aware of efforts by some in government to disguise these programs by using coded or imprecise language. If you are aware of a change in any contract description or personnel position description since November 5, 2024, to obscure the connection between the contract and DEIA or similar ideologies, please report all facts and circumstances to DElAtruth @opm.goy within 10 days. There will be no adverse consequences for timely reporting this information. However, failure to report this information within 10 days may result in adverse consequences. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
