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.

It's simple: Discussions about trans youth's health care belong between them, their families, and their doctors. Not the government.

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Folks if you need or follow any CDC data download/capture it now. It’s still reliable but in the next hour will likely all be the clown show.

Danielle Sassoon, acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, chose to resign rather than comply with the unusual request by Acting Deputy AG Emil Bove to dismiss corruption charges against NYC mayor Eric Adams.

This is real courage.

These are our HEALTH agencies. Our national disease monitoring and intervention. Our clinical trials. These jobs are hard won— even the temporary or contract ones! This is so disgusting. www.npr.org/sections/sho...
Staff at CDC and NIH are reeling as Trump administration cuts workforce
As many as 1,300 probationary employees at CDC and 1,500 at NIH are losing their jobs. Many fear for the future of public health and scientific research.

Damage has also been done to Centers for Disease Control. This is absolutely chilling and we can and will fight for these institutions but the damage done now is HORRIBLE.
Unthinkable damage to one of the world’s best science institutions 🫠😢. Just insane because it was so unnecessary and done with no thought or plan. Awful for everyone in science but heartbreaking for those who were just fired for no cause.
Thanks to all of the NIHers and their friends who reached out to me. I am still here (DM me or Signal jeremymberg.78)

I still have a very incomplete picture but based on what I have been told, the damage to NIH and to many wonderful people who work(ed) there is/was impossible for me to imagine

Wow.
Yep - as a conservative, she felt the line had been crossed today by acting AG Emil Bove. That is what is so notable about her resignation.
Extraordinary development: Danielle Sassoon, a former law clerk to Justice Scalia, member of the federalist society and legal superstar, quit a dream job as acting head of SDNY U.S. attorneys office rather than do Trump’s bidding and drop criminal charges against the NYC Mayor.
