Attempted #Drumpf & #RFKjr purge of #CDC workers initially fails due to clerical "coding" error.

“The employees who received incorrect notifications were never separated from the agency and have all been notified that they are not subject to the reduction in force,” said Andrew #Nixon, director of communications for the US Department of #Health and Human Services. More than half of Center for #Disease Control staffers gleefully fired Friday by #GOP administration have been reinstated.

“We figure they started this thing, so they should be #Democrat-oriented,” the President said, placing blame for his second #GovtShutdown firmlly on a minority #Democratic lawmakers. #DJT did not provide details on what qualified the affected dismissed workers as “Democrat-oriented.”

Once the "coding error " on the dismissal notifications is figured out by the admin's "Christian nationalist" headchopper #RussVought, it is almost certain thousands of federal workers will again be re-fired
