It appears we are entering the “just following orders” stage of the autocracy as people are being dismissed for not being obedient.

Bat shit crazy that these are just a few of the programs being interrupted/shit down so that republican foot soldiers of the FOTUS can jam through another massive wealth transfer to the top

To be super abundantly clear it’s not about shrinking the work force it’s about installing people loyal to their fascist agenda any other reporting is irresponsible
The CIA is offering its employees what it is calling “deferred resignation,” an option to quit but continue to be paid through September, as part of the Elon Musk-led efforts to shrink the size of the federal work force, officials said.
C.I.A. Extends Resignation Offers as Effort to Shrink Work Force Spreads
John Ratcliffe, the C.I.A. director, pushed to have agency employees given a version of the offer extended to millions of federal workers last week.

Pam Bondi is coming for the Affordable Care Act. She has been a lobbyist for Amazon and Uber and was the chair for the center of litigation for the America First Policy Institute. Which is a nonprofit that can receive tax deductible donations while lobbying on the behalf of its major donors.

True patriots hate human rights. Too many people think they’re entitled to the right of being alive. There’s nothing in the constitution that says anything about the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness . . . That’s all in the Declaration of Independence. Which is a liberal hoax.

The administration talking about a Meritocracy while hiring the least qualified people to run the biggest departments in government is a chefs kiss of Hypocrisy.

Every time you don't buy a book from Amazon, but use a good indie store who actually values the sale & treats you & your purchase with respect, the sun shines brighter, floofy puppies gambol in fresher grass, & Jeff Bezos's piles sting for just a biiiit longer.

Sounds GREAT to me.

Buy independent.

Dictator in chief now promises to revoke visas of students who protest the genocide in Palestine. Saying campuses are “infested” like never before with people who believe whole sale slaughter of people is bad. Turns out being anti genocide and apartheid is now radical thinking.

The email, with the subject line “Fork in the Road,” said that the majority of federal agencies would probably be downsized and that a substantial number of employees would be furloughed or reclassified to “at-will status” — essentially making them easier to fire.”

AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

At the same time, Musk is taking full advantage of the USDS designation. There's talk in the order of a "Software Modernization Initiative" for the government, and improving interoperability between networks and systems.
