From my DMs, check out this official press release from EPA.
It reads like it was written by an angry teenager. The pettiness of the Administration is filtering down. I am embarrassed about where we are.
To all the career EPA civil servants, you deserve better.

From my DMs, generalized to protect the employee:
More cuts to the National Wildlife Refuge System, as demanded by the recent EO and follow up OPM/OMB memo, will be the death of many refuges and destroy the whole system.

From a DM. Are you familiar with National Wildlife Refuges?
There are almost 600 refuges nationwide. Their employees include biologists, firefighters, maintenance workers, and park rangers. Refuges are spread out and have day-to-day needs. Here is how the purchase limits are impacting them:

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated.
Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!

Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭
It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health. I’ve never experienced a more positive culture where *everyone* cared about their job and serving others.
