"IRS layoffs are underway as DOGE moves to eliminate 25 percent of the workforce. The tax agency will lose roughly 20,000 jobs, including workers in its civil rights office, as part of the Trump admin's downsizing of the government."

The oligarchs have impunity, but everyone else has to pay their taxes. The agency will no longer provide adequate service, & dedicated employees are fired, needlessly.

When Americans died, were blinded, had eyeballs removed from tainted eye drops, the FDA relied on Dr Pohlhaus, among its few top sterile drug manufacturing experts. He, thousands more, were fired from US health agencies April 1.

RFK Jr & #DOGE terminated thousands of experienced public health professionals Tues. We’re all about to pay the price.

"A MD fed judge blocked the Trump admin from carrying out the mass firing of prob fed WKRs, extending & expanding an earlier 14-day halt. Order applies to fired WKRs at 20 US agencies in the 20 sts that sued."

BcVA's GOP AG chose not to join the lawsuit, the Trump admin can continue to fire any prob employee who lives or works in VA, but not any prob employee who lives or works in MD or DC. What a mess for the DMV."

McCain is heartbroken about the news that funding for brain research was cut at the NIH. Her late father, John McCain, was treated for Glioblastoma.

Republican lawmakers will hear about many more heartbreaking stories. Unless the firings, illnesses, or deaths directly affect their families, they'll likely not push back against Trump's egregious policies & agenda.

Meghan's husband, Ben Domenech, is a staunch Republican, & has been a supporter of #Trump.

US Judge Blocks Trump Administration From Firing Federal Employees on Probation

https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2025-04-01/us-judge-blocks-trump-administration-from-firing-federal-employees-on-probation

A federal judge on Tuesday said the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump cannot quickly fire thousands of probationary federal workers in 19 states and Washington, D.C., narrowing an earlier nationwide ruling.

"The #HHS is being decimated right now. Mass layoffs happening across agencies: #NIH, #FDA, #CDC...

Some employees found out by security badge being denied. Others got email.

HHS victims of the (RIF) employees who’ve received letters are being told it’s for performance, citing their most
recent performance.

But multiple employees have told me the NUMBERS ARE COMPLETELY FABRICATED & don't actually reflect performance stats."

"Let’s imagine the economy tanks. People lose their jobs, Social Security, and benefits. The government becomes dysfunctional and stagnant. There’s a health crisis due to rising cases of measles, bird flu, and a resurgence of a new COVID variant. America becomes isolated as our allies turn from us and tourism tanks."

Judge Trenga prevented the Govt from “effectuating term of these plaintiffs,” & ordered they remain in “admin leave” with full pay & benefits, while the legal process continues to play out.

He ordered the Govt to provide each impacted employee an opp to appeal their term..."

"In our inner circle of friends and neighbors, only two families have not had at least one spouse lose his or her job since January 20th. … They are already burning through vacation days and preparing to cash out retirement and college savings accounts to pay the mortgage and buy groceries."

"The job market is ‘FROZEN.’ It’s not a good sign for DOGE casualties. And an ‘unprecedented’ surge in applications.

Data released earlier this week from employment search site Indeed highlights an increase in federal workers searching for new jobs: In February, DOGE-adjacent applications ROSE 50%, ending the month at 75% ABOVE THEIR 2022 LEVELS.:
