DOGE at NIH

[Anonymous]

WSJ just reported massive firings next week at all federal health agencies, including the much maligned NIH, FDA, etc. Food inspection could very likely be impacted.

Can someone please explain how mass firings can be legal? Does this have to do with Schedule F:

The current NIH campus could be redeveloped into a resort community.

A resort community in Bethesda??

So we're just giving up on science? On trying to cure diseases? What is wrong with these people?

hey are doing quick in-and-out trips, terrorizing federal employees and energizing spectators. Are these window-dressing? For Trump and the base? What is the point of any of this?

No, that's not what they're doing.

They're feeding each department's financial data into AI software to analyze so they can make cuts of things Trump/Elon/Russ Vought don't like.

They also are running everyone's personnel file through AI. And they've downloaded software on government computers to search employee chats for certain keywords.

You left the word LIKELY out of that quote. DO you know what that means? It doesn't mean THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

You guys are something else.

no, it sounds like East Germany style of government spying and citizen control.

Sounds like a new version DEI - employee retention based on perceived political orientation

This is the last thing government needs as agencies have audits and an OIG for fraud, abuse, and waste. Their programs are also published. Americans can also use FOIA. Most Americans slept through government in high school apparently. Country of stupid.

Energizing their greatest spectator, Donald Trump. That's all this is about.
