[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hero USAID Director standing up against the unjustified removal of 60 career officials at USAID and getting removed himself by DOGE hours later...what a sad state of affairs.

An order sidelining almost 60 senior career leaders at the U.S. Agency for International Development was temporarily rescinded Thursday by one of the few remaining senior career civil servants with the authority to do so, two current and two former USAID employees told NBC News.

Hours later, the same career employee was also placed on administrative leave.

“The materials show no evidence that you engaged in misconduct,” Nick Gottlieb, USAID's director of employee and labor relations, said in an email to the dozens of senior USAID employees placed on paid leave Monday. “As a result, I no longer have authority to maintain you in this status.”

Gottlieb acknowledged that he did not know how long his decision would hold.

“You may receive another email within the day reinstating your leave status. However, that notice will not come from me,” he wrote, adding, “I wish you all the best — you do not deserve this.”[/quote]

No they do not deserve this.  Nor do the people who were unjustifiably fired at DOJ and the FBI.   [/quote]

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

This. All federal employees (and citizens!) who care about the rule of law should be resisting the attack on USAID. [/quote]

Is there anything else we can do besides write to our representatives and vote?[/quote]

Give to non-profits that do similar work. There's a lot of good ones out there.[/quote]

Many relied on Fed grants and were shuttered this week. [/quote]
