I'm case you're wondering, @skullvalanche's Arthur A. Allen pioneered and perfected a modeling program that predicts where people lost at sea will be found, cutting search and rescue times and saving thousands of lives during his 35-year career with the Federal government.

Sen. Tim Kaine:
When you fire #veterans working for the US government, fire staff & close programs for #Vets at the #VeteransAdministration, this is a war on veterans. And they can't claim this is accidental.
Amy McGrath's theory: DoD is currently lead by a guy who has wanted to privatize the #VA, and so the idea is to gut it, make it worse so there's an outcry against it [Me: and artificially create support for #privatization].
#VMI's 1st Black superintendent says ouster's based on politics, not job performance
https://apnews.com/article/vmi-black-superintendent-cedric-wins-virginia-544bb0d267f915e78f7ad890300a6ee7
VMI is an official #Virginia State institution. #VAgov Youngkin's fingerprints are all over this move motivated by #Trump/ MAGA's racist anti-#DEI fever dream.
The first Black superintendent of the Virginia Military Institute says his forced departure is the result of politics rather than his job performance. VMI's board voted last week against renewing its contract for Retired Army Maj. Gen. Cedric Wins. The board's decision follows diversity and inclusion efforts that were implemented under Wins' leadership. Wins said in a statement Thursday that the decision was “a partisan choice" that abandons VMI's values of honor and integrity. Wins is a 1985 graduate of the school. He became superintendent in 2021, when VMI was undergoing a racial reckoning and diversity programs were being put into place.

All 80,000 #HHS employees, incl MDs, have rec'd an UNSIGNED letter offering them a payout if they resign. Many, if not all, are leery of it since they have no idea who or where it came from &/or don't believe they'll get paid in the end anyway.

Jake Auchincloss to Ayman:
#DOGE firing employees is misdirection: it does NOT reduce the budget.
Federal employees account for about 5% of the federal budget.

The #DOGE Brain Drain Has Begun
It’s not just jobs cut and agencies gutted. It’s the talent that will be lost for generations to come.
Oopsie!
#TrumpMuskPurge just wrecked an NIH org championed by #GOPers, who once lavished praise on #NIH center that deals w/#Alzheimers. Donald Trump & Elon Musk are hobbling it.
What will those Republicans say now?
Hope you like the sound of crickets. https://newrepublic.com/article/191702/trump-musk-national-institutes-health-wrecked
