Now we’re seeing the huge impacts of Trump’s ax to the federal workforce.

At the energy department, an office responsible for more than $20 billion lost 80% of its staff, so now it can’t properly oversee spending.

This and more from an 👀 new GAO report
The Energy Department Is Failing to Meet Oversight Requirements, Congress’ Watchdog Says
The Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations no longer has the staff to carry out mandated oversight work for more than $20 billion in taxpayer funds.

Magaziner: Mayorkas testified in front of Congress like 30 times. Noem has only been in front of our committee twice, and one of the times, she left because she didn't want to answer questions. It's going to be very different when we are in the majority next year.

Walkinshaw: Bondi is going to have to answer questions about her failure to follow the law with respect to the Epstein files. Missed the deadline, continues to hide 2.5 million files, redactions that are not consistent with the law. What's she covering up and who is she covering up for?

Just now catching up to this episode. Really excellent interview between @anneapplebaum.bsky.social and @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social. As a scientist who knew someone purged during the Chinese Cultural Revolution, the parallels in intent if not (yet) in scope here/now are deeply unsettling.
Those cuts to science, culture, medicine? They aren't just about research, they are about power.
