Medicaid expansion covers individuals who make < ~$20K a year and many parents, people with disabilities, and low-paid workers who would be uninsured without it. Taking away people's health care makes them vulnerable, even if you don't think they are now.

That means- if you’re in a position to follow orders from Trump and Musk: DELAY. Work exactly 40 hours per week. Ask many questions. Slow down any bad rules. Don’t take bad actions. Focus on making grants happen. Please do this.

Yes, and this is super-important. People don’t know what’s happening. Most of the country has no idea that American science — cancer cures — are being shredded. They really don’t know! The job of all scientists 🧪 in this moment should be to get the word out.

As an OPM employee, I want my fellow federal workers and the American people to know that these emails may be coming from inside the house—but they are not coming from us. We at OPM are just as frustrated, confused, and traumatized as the rest of America. When I started my job at OPM, I swore an oath to the Constitution, and to defend it against all enemies foreign and domestic, making it especially awful that the threat to our government is coming from inside my own office building.
