IMTs are quietly talking about what the current political environment means for this year's wildland fire suppression efforts, but it deserves a larger and more public consideration. 1/

I've seen a number of posts like this from reporters & I've had a bunch of ex co-workers/colleagues ask how they can tell their story. Can someone who is more knowledgeable than me make a starter pack of reporters covering the fed firings? As an easy reference for those fired, it would be helpful.
Tens of thousands of feds are being fired. Please, if you're a fired fed or a fed whose colleagues were fired, help us report what the consequences will be for the American public:

Think firing the entire federal workforce will save America money?

Federal civilian employees account for just 4% of the federal budget. Even if someone like Musk—or any president—fired all of us, it wouldn’t make much of a dent in government spending. Don’t fall for it.
