"People begin mobilizing, organizing, and protesting. Donald Trump, who threatened to unleash the National Guard and military on 'the enemy from within,' makes good on his threat and uses the protests as an excuse to crack down on his enemies. He promotes conspiracies about 'the deep state; threatening to take down the government. He declares Martial Law and cancels elections for the sake of national security."

"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."

Check your eOPF as soon as you can!

I received no notification or any notice, but looked anyway. I've been changed to 8888, a code which means ineligible.Being TSA, we were always the government's bitches when it came to collective bargaining rights. But they've clearly wasted no time locking us out of any future attempts.Check yours ASAP. I'm sure a lot of updates are rolling out...

VOA FEDS, all I can say is I’m sorry and feel sick about this and so much else.

DRP fallout in my office. Work redistributed, spread thin. With DRP-DoD more are going to leave

Had some good and not so good folks leave with the DRP. Over the past month the work was distributed amongst the team and cadence is somewhat normal. As of two weeks ago the approved DRPers left and deep diving their work has been “fun” given that multiple documents haven’t been revised since 2022. ANYWAY, we are spread thin and during a team meeting last week a couple folks said that if another DRP comes they are jumping ship as to avoid any fallout. Well after Petey signed the Initiating the Workforce Acceleration and Recapitalization Initiative. The work text chat (the one minus leadership) blew up, 5 folks confirmed that the moment the memo and email gets released they are signing up. Not mad at them, but damn! Not sure what the plan will be to cover, but we will be severely understaffed. I’m genuinely curious, does anyone here have a similar situation? At least for our program office (overall not just my division), we will be severely imploding!

Wondering if any expert fed employees (former/current) could shed light on how auditing in the government actually works.

The media seems to be hellbent on just accepting the narrative put forth by President Trump that "waste, fraud, and abuse" are being swept under the rug. Although, props to Wired for actually talking to federal auditors! Anyway, just interested in having the facts of what processes are in place to uncover w,f,a. To be fair, I'm not saying that anything is perfect, but everyone is just acting like the government has never thought to make sure they had transparency and I really hate that. I really liked this guy's blog post: A Certified Fraud Examiner's Take on DOGE

Maybe it's finally time to ban Fox News from Govt installations

The Fox News franchise and the audience they attract have a dangerously loose relationship with reality. Allowing this network to continue to be displayed in government facilities, while it continues to carry the water for the inept leaders who put the entirety of government and government contracts and public services into a tailspin, with Fox influencing the terrible situation, seems especially cruel and irresponsible now.

I was on a call with appointees on Friday. They're laughing about the layoffs.

One made a crack about the Department of Education having plenty of money now. The second, talking to/about HHS said "Run it by your comms team next week, if you have a comms team next week.". Literally laughing at the destruction they are causing. Fuck these people.

I just can’t do this anymore, probie

It’s just too much this libo. I don’t know how much more I can take of the back and forth between if I have a job or don’t. When I was terminated on 2/13 I had just started my fed job. I have only had one paycheck in 6 months… I feel sick to my stomach. I had hope with reinstatements but now having to wait for scotus to chime in just is too much. I just feel like I’m drowning and there is no end in sight. I am a REAL person. The uncertainty is killing me. I just want a job. I just want security. I’m have never experienced this level of anxiety and fear that I have been feeling these past months. I can’t eat or sleep I just feel like I’m suffocating all the time. I don’t even feel human anymore. The lack of empathy this administration has for working class Americans has honestly shook me to my very core. I just feel like as a nation we are lost. And no one cares that facism has arrived. Literal lives are being destroyed. I’ve called my union, my representatives, literally anyone and everyone and I just feel really forgotten and sad. I’ve been applying to jobs, reaching out to my network etc and have not even gotten a single interview. For context, I’m a 27 f. With the talented applicant pool of fed workers in the dc area, who tf is gonna hire me?I don’t even know what to do anymore. I have no money, I have no job. I don’t even leave the house anymore cause everything requires money. I have just lost myself completely. Is there even any hope?

"Trump will orchestrate no military coup. The Republican Congress will probably pass no laws that make Trump president for life. That would be too obvious. What they’ll do is make stealthier moves across the board that discredit and destroy our democratic institutions until he and his billionaire friends can strip them for parts. Chaos fascism is here to stay."

"Across human history, fascism has been imposed upon democracy mostly in one of two ways. First, by brute force—a military coup, that sort of thing. Second, a bit more stealthily, and legally—through legislation, executive decrees, and court decisions that hand more power to the leader."

Ruthlessly gut government so that one can seize control of the carcass and do what one wishes with it:

"Today, Emily Davies and Jeff Stein of the Washington Post reported that Trump officials are looking for cuts of between 8% and 50% of the employees in federal agencies. ...

Washington Post reporters Lisa Rein and Hannah Natanson warn that 'Social Security is breaking down.'”

"Yarvin called for 'giving absolute sovereignty to a single organization,' headed by the equivalent of the rogue chief executive officer of a corporation who would destroy the public institutions of the democratic government. ...

If the administration is working not to save money but rather to destroy the government, the cuts that threaten the well-being of American citizens make more sense."
