Every American should be so alarmed about this and the Privacy Act of 1974 needs to be updated so it can be properly enforced.

IRS to lay off taxpayer experience, DEI staff It is not clear what will happen next to projects being done by the Taxpayer Experience Office, like making IRS notices to taxpayers more simple.

This, in addition to ending IRS Direct File, is 1 huge mistake amongst many

What has DOGE done in Trump's first 100 days? One hundred days into President Trump's second term, DOGE hasn't delivered on its promised savings, efficiency or transparency in meaningful ways. But it has amassed unprecedented power over data.

"Extreme levels of fraud" — but no proof

We all should be extra alarmed at DOGE creating a master database of Americans' private information....probably breaking the Privacy Act of 1974

Let's take this small win on this Friday. Since this new administration started, all the bad news for federal employees has typically been issued on Fridays, usually after working hours. apnews.com/article/trum...

Predict that the final count for the deferred resignation program (DRP) round 2 for federal workers will be quite high. 75K reportedly took DRP round 1. Predict that it will be between 150-225k, doubling or tripling round 1

Fired Govt Workers Are Pissed Off and Running for Office Could an army of dismissed feds deliver wins for Democrats up and down the ballot?

One consequence of Trump’s mass firings of federal workers:

A bunch of highly motivated former public servants now thinking about running for office

Federal Health Workers Make Up Less Than 1% of Agency Spending Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suggests that laying off thousands of federal workers would tame a massive budget. But nearly all of the agency’s money goes to hospitals, doctors and nursing ho...

HHS workers constitute less than 1% of its spending.

The overwhelming majority of the money is spent through Medicare, for the health care of people older than 65, or through Medicaid, for people with low incomes.

1000s of federal workers have been placed on administrative leave and locked out of their offices and computers. Workers on admin leave are being paid but can't do their work.

DOGE, OPM and OMB should testify under oath about how this is "efficient." News flash: it isn't.

Judge Blocks Trump Administration From Dismantling CFPB (Gift Article) The bureau has been in turmoil as the Trump administration moved to fire hundreds of employees, ordered the rest to stop working and closed offices.

@nytimes.com tracker is showing 210 confirmed cuts and 900 planned reductions to CFPB. Contradicts this @nytimes.com article that 200 of these have been rehired. Judge has also blocked mass firings to CFPB. fedworkers.info tracker is leaving this blank

Voice of America wins in court, for now, as judge blocks Trump administration from firing staff The federal judge's order also bars the Agency for Global Media from terminating grant funding for its broadcast outlets, including Doral-based Radio Martí.

@nytimes.com tracker is also showing 1300 cuts to Voice of America. on Friday, a judge blocked those firings www.wlrn.org/americas/202...

According to OPM data (Sept 2024), USAID has 3293 US based employees and 1507 foreign/unspecified employees for a total of 4800 employees. Unless OPM data is incorrect, the 10k number floated by @nytimes.com and other sources is not correct.

I suspect the 10k number includes contractors.

What We Know About the Trump Administration's Cuts to the Federal Work Force (Gift Article) Here are the layoffs, buyouts taken and planned reductions, by agency, that The New York Times has confirmed.

The @nytimes.com released a tracker today. Similarities to the fedworkers.info tracker, especially the 12% employee reduction which I have been tracking. I've been waiting to update the USAID when I can confirm total headcount. i think 10k counts contractors. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
