jikBoston Herald article about my termination by DOGE
For those who haven’t heard about it from my fediverse or LinkedIn posting: I was fired by DOGE last Friday from my role at the U.S. Digital Service (USDS) overseeing information security for VA.gov, despite the fact that everyone I worked for and with at VA considered my role there critical, wanted me to stay, and communicated that fact to DOGE repeatedly.
I was interviewed about this yesterday by Boston Herald reporter Lance Reynolds, and his article is out today (archive.today link). The article is very good. Nearly every time I read a news article about something I’m expert in I’m amazed by how many mistakes the reporter makes, but Reynolds gets just about everything right. I emailed him and acknowledged the accuracy of the article and thanked him for it.
The only quibble I have is this: Reynolds says in the article that the Trump administration had secured a court ruling upholding its authority to conduct these firings. I don’t think that’s quite right. As far as I know, the only ruling issued so far on this question said that the people who brought the lawsuit lacked standing to do so. I.e., the ruling didn’t say the firings were legal, it said the specific people who challenged them weren’t allowed to. As far as I know, no court has ruled yet on the merits of their claims.
The Boston Herald is a very right-wing newspaper and I hesitated before agreeing to give them an interview. I ultimately decided to do it—and looking at this article, it was obviously the right decision!—for three reasons:
Here’s the article in today’s print edition of the Herald, with a different headline:

BREAKING: A bunch of U.S. Digital Service employees (including me) were fired tonight. It's still unclear exactly how many. There is no visibility whatsoever into what determined who was let go. Legacy USDS (i.e., pre-DOGE) leadership was not involved in the decision about whom to let go and was not notified in advance that people were going to be fired. #politics #USPol #DOGE #coup #USDS 1/2
Alan LewisNIKKI HALEY
The Boston Herald is reporting that Nikki Haley has pulled to within three points of Tricky Don in New Hampshire Primary polling.
No doubt the ever vengeful Tricky Don has canceled his subscription to the Boston Herald. If he is going to be self-consumed some of the time, he is going to be self-consumed and petty all of the time.

This is a letter I wrote to the #BostonHerald (which, yes, I actually used to read, though that's a story for another time) after they ran an article talking about "green new burials." The point of my letter was that what they described as "green new burials" is how Jews have been burying their dead for millennia.
Interestingly, this came up again recently in another context. 3/
