Former DOGE engineer says federal waste and fraud were 'relatively nonexistent' NPR's Juana Summers talks with Sahil Lavingia, who worked for the Department of Government Efficiency as a software engineer assigned to the Department of Veterans Affairs, about his experience.

This is why they are now having to re-hire people who were illegally fired, they didn't even have legitimate "inefficiencies" to back up the thousands that have been wrongfully fired, even one of their own admits it!

Opinion | What’s Happening Is Not Normal. America Needs an Uprising That Is Not Normal. It will take a concerted effort by every sector of our society to respond to Trumpism’s threat.

In case you're still waiting for someone to save us, it's us that needs to save us.

Get out there are protest, call your representatives and senators, work collectively with others, our numbers together are powerful.

We're not done yet | 18F

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

The hardest part about public health is that when we succeed, there's no crisis, no epidemic. People carry on with daily life, unaware of a near-miss. We may never know how bad it could have been - because our public health workforce is always taking action to avoid, prevent, and control threats.

Now NOAA has been seized β€” just like the Department of Treasury, USAID, and Department of Education.

We are hearing from multiple CDC sources that DOGE is at the Roybal campus.

If you’re on campus and see anything you’d like to share, please reach out. Stay safe.
