The acting administrator just released a memo ending the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities
(BRIC) Program. Potential layoffs to BRIC employees are expected as early as today.

Check on your CDC friends this morning- termination notices are coming in. Confirmed RIFs in Injury, Reproductive Health, HIV prevention, NIOSH, Human Resources, and others.

Update: the original RIF included Commissioned Corps (USPHS) employees. Shortly before rollout, DOGE realized this huge mistake. The delay in RIF notices is because they are removing USPHS from the list(s).

Thinking of our CDC colleagues, many of whom are expected to receive termination notices today between 3 and 5 pm ET. We love you. Your work matters. You matter.

This is exactly what I have been saying for a while now. At this point, it’s not left vs right that matters, but fighters vs non-fighters. The Dems, and the American people, need fighters.

oops🥲

A shutdown is necessary to preserve and protect our democracy. We can not sustain this oligarch's slash & burn strategy.
They have taken food away from children, stripped jobs from families & have taken direct aim at your social security. We must draw a hard line and hold it.
#ShitShowShutDown

To be clear, this is not a criticism of a shutdown. A shutdown is necessary at this point in order to combat this administration’s power. There are just additional considerations given the RIF timing.

Phase 1 of agency RIF plans are due to OPM today, yet mum is the word. FEMA leadership has been completely silent on the matter. Employees have no idea if or when their positions may be eliminates.

And if there’s a shutdown, will that allow DOGE & OPM to implement RIFs completely unchecked?

Thanks for the heads up

We plan on approaching this from multiple angles. Reps included!

Sign the Petition Appoint Emergency Management Professionals to the FEMA Review Council

‼️ Sign the Petition to Appoint Emergency Management Professionals to the FEMA Review Council ‼️

Currently, the FEMA Review Council only consists of politicians.

The public needs an unbiased committee of actual professionals to determine the future of emergency management.

FEMA’s Interagency Coordination Division released new guidance for terminology changes in official documents. Some have replacement terminology, most do not.

In some cases, entire sections of doctrine will be eliminated in order to comply.

Could be used just for termination justification, or scare tactics to have people turn on each other. Fear increases compliance.

DHS says it 'can, should and will' administer polygraph exams amid ICE raid location leaks The Department of Homeland Security is responding to reports that Secretary Kristi Noem allegedly warned employees that polygraph tests will be used to combat potential leaks about upcoming ICE raids.

DHS suspects that ICE raid locations were shared by an internal source. Now the department is calling for polygraph tests.

What isn’t in this article: polygraph experts on #AltGov social media offering their advice to ICE employees who may need help passing.

We’ve got each others backs.

Media keeps saying “first year employees”, but plenty of folks were terminated who were on fresh probationary periods after a promotion or conversion from CORE to PFT!

Appropriate.

Preparedness is getting a lot of cuts right now, including to contracts. How was your first day?

Hey Crystal, #AltGov is actively strategizing to figure out the best way to mobilize folks like you. The best thing to do right now is share and call your congresspeople. We’ll let you know when we have more specific instructions. Thank you ❤️‍🔥

Mass illegal firings ongoing across FEMA tonight and tomorrow.

Including but not limited to probationary employees in Mitigation, Preparedness, Recovery, and Grants Management.

Was gonna relay them to our signal!

There’s not a reliable source for that data yet outside of self-reporting. It’s not like the agencies themselves, OPM, or DOGE are publishing numbers. Some of the AltGov accounts have estimates for their agencies.

Exclusive: US global disaster response teams unable to deploy following USAID shutdown, sources say A world-renowned U.S. program for international disaster and crisis assistance can no longer deploy in the event of a major emergency due to the Trump administration's dismantling of the U.S. foreign aid agency, nine sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters.
