How #president #trump expanded his #power without a #government COMMENTARY | When the Trump administration decides it can spend money from any budget account on anything it wants and not spend #appropriated funding, there are no limits to the president's budgetary powers. #congress #shutdown govexec.com/management/2025/10 #maga #politics #ruleoflaw #RIF #federalworkers #furlough #control #democracy #power #government

  4. A quarter of the #CDC gone since the start of this year. Let that sink in. Cutting public health isn’t efficiency - it’s insanity! #PublicHealth #DHHS #USPol #RIF #AFGE

    #Vought sounds #layoff siren: ‘The #RIF have begun’ - this is nothing short of draconian. At least nine agencies appear to be affected. Today American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) largest #union representing more than 800,000 #federal & D.C. government employees condemned Trump administration’s #OMB #RusselVought decision to illegally #fire thousands of #federal #employees during the #governmentshutdown. afge.org/publication/afge-pres

  7. The #RussVought #Project2025 #OMB told #FederalAgencies late Wednesday to use the opportunity of a potential shutdown “to consider Reduction in Force” [#RIF] notices to lay off federal employees. The #WhiteHouse also told agency leaders to focus on eliminating positions where #funding had expired, or could not be sourced under other laws, & had been deemed to be “not consistent” with #Trump’s political agenda.

    "
    NASA Cut 4,000 Staff .. White House space realignment disturbs a “delicate ecosystem”
    "
    ".. this year’s buyout offers were too broad and too scattershot to make NASA truly more efficient .."

    ".. left gaping holes across the agency, reducing the integrity of everything NASA does."

  9. The total reduction in the workforce [#RIF] will be ~3k, including the *voluntary* departures, acc/to the notice & a senior #State Dept ofcl, out of the 18k employees based in the #US.

    The move is the first step of a restructuring that #Trump has sought to ensure US #ForeignPolicy is aligned with his "America First" agenda. Fmr diplomats & experts say the firing of #ForeignService officers risks America's ability to counter the growing assertiveness from adversaries such as #China & #Russia.

  10. Friend who is in IT at #DoS says five people on his team received #RIF notices. By 5pm yesterday, all of their email was bouncing. It is rough. The loss of talent is heartbreaking. I am not sure how long it will take us to recover as a nation. This will not increase the country’s security or standing in the world. #DeptOfState #StateDepartment

  11. Judge #AmyBermanJackson said she is “deeply concerned” that #Trump admin ofcls aren’t complying with her earlier order that maintains the #CFPB’s existence until she rules on the merits of a lawsuit seeking to preserve it.

    During the hearing, Jackson said she will bar ofcls from any #MassFirings or cutting off employees’ access to bureau computer systems.

    Jackson scheduled a hearing on April 28 to hear testimony from ofcls who were working on the reduction in force, or #RIF, procedures.

  12. Goals for Phase 3 are listed in brief bullet points in the #DOGE document.

    #RIF the Phase 1 offices in their entirety,” one bullet point reads, referring to offices dedicated to #DEI. That process is already underway: The [#RussVought of #Project2025] #OPM last month directed agencies to submit written plans for firing all DEI office workers & encouraged agencies to begin issuing #termination notices immediately.

  13. #DOGE’s “Phase 3” starts later this month, on the 31st day of the #Trump admin, & lasts until the 180th day, which is in mid-July, acc/to the documents. That stage moves from placing workers on paid leave to calling for large-scale #firings, the documents show. Ultimately, DOGE intends for the Trump admin to #terminate all DEI-linked employees via a Reduction In Force (#RIF) action—the federal form of #layoffs — including some who work for legally mandated offices.

  18. Week-long management meetings? Some directors included, others not? A lot of hush hush conversations? I smell a reorg and layoff! Do you smell it?
