“As part of the fellowship, they serve for two years around the CDC or deployed to health departments across the country, often on the front lines of public health responses.” We are less safe now in our own communities. I will never understand this.

My best friend was an EIS officer who went to Liberia twice during the Ebola outbreaks a decade ago, who also made me aware of how many domestic situations(so much food contamination!) never come to light because we generally contain cases so well. There’s gonna be a lot of people feeling unwell.

This is just sheer brazen criminality by DOJ. Adams gets federal corruption charges dropped not because there isn’t overwhelming evidence, but because he agrees to help Homan round up migrants. And Homan says the charges will be refiled if Adams doesn’t “come through.”

Congress passes a law & the agencies implement it through a “rule”, which the DOGE has labeled as “unconstitutional”. What are the agencies supposed to do to implement laws? Also, the SCOTUS determines the constitutionality of laws & rules, not the executive branch. doge.gov/regulations

They are a tiny fraction of CDC’s workforce but provide incalculable value to both CDC and the nation. Cruelly firing them with hours’ notice in the name of efficiency is an outrage. To our EIS officers, we will never forget your service to this nation.

EIS fellows are CDC's “disease detectives” first responders. They stationed at CDC and at health departments throughout the US. During the pandemic they entered houses of infected persons to gather blood samples that would assist in development of COVID-19 antibody tests and antibody treatments.

Update on the routing information breach, with numbers. This was indeed a data breach, although there is no report of what caused it. Some speculation that it may be related to DOGE interference. Targeted email sent out yesterday AM to those affected, then a later email to the wider USCG in the PM.

it's clear to me that the trump/musk administration (along w/ the GOP) wants to create a permanent prisoner class in lieu of a slave class. they do that by reforming probation laws (look at what they're doing in Louisiana) and by removing any safety rails to keeping people out of poverty. #resist

FEMA HQ is actively trying to convince the WH / DOGE that we should be exempt from the probationary RIF due to the "public safety" and "national security" provisions. That's why other agencies have already fired probies and FEMA has not. If we are not found to be exempt, RIFs will go into effect.

People would actually care about gutting FEMA if they understood it meant the possibility of things like not receiving tornado warnings, no search and rescue teams coming to save them in an earthquake, no flood insurance, no extra medical help, no money to rebuild.

And the vast majority of these people do it as a collateral duty! They might be the timber sale administrator or the front desk clerk or the wildlife biologist - but when an incident happens they become the finance staff or the supply officer or the long-range planning analyst.
