The Government Has Been Shut Down for Months Today is the day we stop pretending that it’s not.

The Trump administration has been shutting down the government & slashing public services for months. 12% of the federal workforce has already been cut. This is not about numbers. It’s about power. But together, we will win. Read: prospect.org/politics/202... #SaveOurServices #SupportFederalWorkers

This isn’t a shutdown — it’s a showdown. Billionaires get permanent tax breaks, we get locked out of healthcare, housing & veterans' care. Federal workers aren't backing down. We took an oath to the American people & our communities — not billionaires. www.federalunionists.net/press/statem...

Retaliation this blatant puts civil rights — and public service itself — on the line. STAY TUNED for more.

Trump administration rehires hundreds of federal employees laid off by DOGE Hundreds of laid-off federal employees who managed government workspaces are being called back to their jobs as the Trump administration walks back plans to slash its real estate portfolio.

After reducing agencies to chaos, the General Services Administration is reversing DOGE's downsizing and hiring back workers.

Trump’s housing department rolls back work to combat residential segregation, whistleblowers allege Allegations against Hud are latest sign of administration’s plans to transform enforcement of US civil rights laws

Federal workers are standing strong despite threats to their jobs and public services. HUD whistleblowers continue to shine light on the administration's cuts to civil rights and fair housing policies. Read the latest in @theguardian.com: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump Appointees Roll Back Enforcement of Fair Housing Laws Interviews and internal documents show that signature civil rights protections in housing are being dismissed as ideologically driven and D.E.I. in disguise.

The Trump administration is limiting enforcement of fair housing laws, dismissing them as ideologically driven and DEI in disguise, according to interviews and internal documents reviewed by The New York Times.

The faces of two male attorneys from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development are pictured in an interview with Real News Network to discuss civil rights violations in a new report.

WATCH: Whistleblowers at Housing & Urban Development expose civil rights violations from the administration in a new report: www.federalunionists.net/press/whistl... @therealnews.com #FairHousing #CivilRights #SaveOurServices #WeTookAnOath

Paul Osadebe, HUD civil rights attorney: “We swore an oath to uphold the Constitution and protect the public — not to rubber-stamp a political agenda.” Congress must act now to defend 50 years of civil rights progress.

Today, Senator Elizabeth Warren requested that the Inspector General investigate these whistleblower allegations: “This is not just mismanagement — it is a direct violation of the law and a betrayal of the American people.”

🚨 Sen. Elizabeth Warren and HUD whistleblowers are speaking out. HUD Secretary Scott Turner, other political appointees, are dismantling civil-rights enforcement, placing HUD on “an unalterable course” toward violating federal law and endangering the public. www.federalunionists.net/press/whistl...

A gray house sits in the background, and the words HUD whistleblowers sound alarm on civil rights are stamped on top of the house. To the right of the house, a crowd with signs is shown in shadow. The signs they hold say fair housing now and homes for all.

This is a fight for justice, safety, and democracy itself. Congress must act now. #SaveOurServices #FairHousing

5️⃣ Workers Fighting Back
HUD lawyers are blowing the whistle:
👉 “We took an oath to the Constitution.”
👉 “This is a deliberate plan to shut down fair housing.”

4️⃣ Political Interference
Career attorneys face gag orders, reassignments & firings for defending civil rights. This is sabotage.

3️⃣ Survivors Abandoned
Only 2 lawyers remain to handle 500+ cases for survivors of domestic violence. Lives are on the line.

2️⃣ Cases Frozen, Settlements Slashed
Hundreds of discrimination cases dropped. Settlements fell from $8M a year to less than $200K. Justice denied.

1️⃣ Civil Rights Rollback
HUD’s fair housing office has been gutted — staff cut by 65%. Enforcement of the Fair Housing Act, a cornerstone of civil rights, is collapsing.
