US Dist Judge #AmyBermanJackson’s ruling blocks the removal of #HamptonDellinger as head of the Office of #SpecialCounsel, which investigates #whistleblower reports filed by #GovernmentWorkers & protects #FederalEmployees from #retaliation, political #coercion & other practices that are barred in the fed workplace.

Engelberg searched…the #JoniErnst report & quickly found the passage that said, “6% report in-person on a full-time basis while nearly a ⅓ of the government workforce is entirely remote.” A footnote cited a single source: a story published months earlier by Federal News Network, a news org in the suburbs of Washington that closely covers the world of #GovernmentWorkers.

"Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them at one point as “targets.”"

A private member's bill aims to help #GovernmentWorkers who report wrongdoing — but it's not enough when those in power are determined to silence truth-tellers.
