Was just going to add SSA. WaPo announced even more cuts (beyond the original 13%) this week. We’ve been operating under an acting commissioner (a total DOGE sycophant), but I think if Frank Bisignano (who is known for absolutely slashing people from orgs) gets confirmed this week we’re in for a massacre. What is crazy is we’re at a 50 year staffing low to begin with despite workloads being so high. And there’s no way our old computer systems can be updated with AI overnight. But they seem to want to break the system altogether. |
I mean we’re tariffing penguins so arctic drilling doesn’t seem far off. |
NP, because they haven’t hit DOJ yet - I’m sure it is coming, but they have done very little up until this point |
| Dept. of State is planning a number of changes ahead. Maybe a lot of it is under the radar because Rubio is more competent than any of the other agency heads (by miles). |
Yes last week |
I think they already froze and fired people last week |
Oil drilling in ANWR is already decided I think and predated DOGE. This is something their Senator actually supports. |
| DHS in general, not just FEMA. |
They have done plenty. Just because you aren't aware of it yet does not mean it is not in the works. DOJ is a large agency so implementing changes and dealing with logistics isn't going to happen right away -- but the plans are very much in place for some litigating divisions, and still being considered for others. |
No republicans in Congress want to publicly stand up to Trump. They’re all trying to cut deals to save jobs in their states instead working as a group to save the country. Of course Trump would probably defy any new laws too. |
Old news. Bessent confirmed it’s not happening. |
Thank you for this correction. 100% correct. |
I mean what about hhs? Also the museum agency is also closed and on admin leave. |
| Forest Service 4/14. Consolidating 8 regions to 3, consolidating forests, decreasing research and upper management in DC. |
| When they do hit dOJ who will they cut? |
