We are still here. And were still standing tall next to every federal worker who swore an oath to serve the people of our great nation. In this week's episode of "Federally Yours," we hear what inspired several of our members to hear the call of FWAD and join our movement.

When we first began our mission of stopping DOGE, supporting and defending federal workers, and protecting democracy, we were a rag-tag group with less than 30 members. Today, we are over 2,000 members strong (and counting), and while we've changed our name, our core mission has remained the same.

We wonder what happens when a "super intelligent force" meets a super incompetent one?

Trump shouts out Russ Vought and then says, ominously, "we have some big surprises coming up in a few weeks, right Russ? He's gonna be one of the important people in the history of our country."

… and yet he's using $20 million of taxpayer dollars appropriated by Congress. This is not what civil service is. It is manipulative, illegal, and a betrayal of our government funding. Watch CNN’s Erin Burnett and Ryan Goodman explain exactly how.

Federal workers are deeply familiar with the Hatch Act. As government officials, our goal is to serve the American people. Trump is in direct violation of the Hatch Act, for his own political benefit. He has hundreds of millions raised in his PACs to do this misleading dirty work…

There is no telling how reliable this AI slop-powered site will be and how secure your data is. Throwing out trained experts for cheap AI is not the solution. It never will be.

This week, Trump announced America(dot)gov, a “one-stop-shop” for government services, all powered by AI. Not only is the ongoing divestment of federal workers harming their livelihoods, but it is making Americans’ lives less secure.

We literally cannot escape Musk’s shadow, and every American is paying the price—including federal workers.

But if we are to fulfill the ideals our nation was founded upon, it will take all civil servants, and YOU, working as one to realize this country’s full potential. Capturing the spirit of Benjamin Franklin, we must continue to honor and uphold our oaths and our republic, if we are to keep it.

Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

We’re not a part of some “deep state” conspiracy, nor are we reptiles in a federal swamp. We’re friends, family members, and neighbors who often work tirelessly every day to ensure every American has what they need to move us all toward a brighter future, together.

Now presenting the third video in our series, “Federally Yours: True Stories from Our Civil Servants.” And this week, we’re asking: who really are federal workers? We emphasize that while federal workers exist strictly to serve the people of this nation, we’re really just regular people like you.

Cutting over $100 million in education and—specifically—literacy funding, while the country is in the midst of a literacy crisis has to be the pinnacle of villainy. Education for them and theirs, the mines for us and ours. THAT's corruption; and November is coming...

051

Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

In today's episode of "What even is corruption?," the administration is using yet another illegal maneuver to attack the very basic fabric of education in the US. A nation that doesn't value educating its children is a nation that doesn't value progression, innovation, or achievement.

In this second video in our series, hear what happens when the agencies and civil service the country depends on becomes politicized by a few. It has a cost to all of us. Remaining committed to our oath as public servants, we again present "Federally Yours: True Stories from our Civil Servants."

Service is a lot of things. It’s helping families put their lives back together after natural disasters, decontaminating our water supply, funding disease and illness research, or strengthening the nation's many diverse communities with local outreach. That is service. For you, everyday Americans.

Most federal employees enter public service with just one goal in mind: to serve.

This is a concern to every human who has ever been a patient, and especially those who are ill, or those whose worked is funded by NIH. Federal workers have the power to stop Trump and Vought from circumventing Congress, and now is the time to speak up against the #ScienceDeathPanel

Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Because of Trump’s petty disagreements with institutions that won’t bend to him, we could lose life-saving cures and vaccines.

Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Vought and Trump won't stop until everything is under their control, including scientific research. Last week, Trump instructed Vought to draft an executive order to form a new panel to review NIH grants. Yes, the grants that fund scientific and medical research that affect every American.

...yet remain unmoved and undeterred in their commitment to public service and the American people. Because, as the saying goes, "In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."

As we enter this election cycle with a renewed zeal to get our federal agencies (and democracy) back to functioning for the protection and betterment of the entire nation, it is only right that we spotlight the truths of the civil servants who have come face-to-face with the wrecking ball...

Though the administration didn't find much success in reversing agency-level waste, fraud, and abuse (because there just wasn't much to find), deceit, corruption, and blatant fraud have spread throughout the highest levels of government worse than a deadly virus ever could.

Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Nearly 18 months have passed since this administration & DOGE, began taking a proverbial wrecking ball to the federal government in the name of rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse. During this time, multiple agencies have been shuttered, and many more have been effectively gutted from top to bottom.

It's often been said that democracy dies in darkness. In service of shining a bright and blinding light on a currently withering democracy, FWAD is honored and excited to humbly present the first video in our newest mini-series: "Federally Yours: True Stories from Our Civil Servants."

This could lead to unprecedented undercounting of millions of our people, impact policy-making, and the shaping of election districts.

They’re also asking for removals of questions about race and ethnicity, which has existed since the very first count, along with a question about sexual orientation.

Today, their proposal wants the Census to exclude non-US citizens without a green card, though the 14th amendment requires the counting of all persons. It doesn’t end there.

Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Federal agencies are being co-opted by Trump to disenfranchise all of us, even in the counting of the 2030 census.

Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

What’s on the docket today? It’s a violation of the 14th amendment! How’d you guess? 🧵

We honor Bunch for his service to the Smithsonian over these last seven years and his commitment to America’s truth. We hope that whoever succeeds him will follow suit.

Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

But what we do know is this: Smithsonian employs over 6k people. And while we agree with the report that Smithsonian is a national treasure, we don’t see it in the same way. American history, and these workers, must be protected.

182

Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

We don’t know where this goes, but there has been speculation that the admin aims to install a Trump crony in his stead. While the museum is only partially funded by the government, its board of regents includes Vance, Chief Justice John Roberts, and Congress.

164

Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Bunch has been staunch in defending the Smithsonian’s values and keeping records of American history truthful. That brings us to today, where after much tension, he is stepping down.

Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Two months ago, the White House released the report “Saving America’s Story” reaffirming his claim about the institution’s harms. Three weeks later, he ordered signs in front of the museum to describe exhibits as inaccurate.

Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

This EO subsequently led to the changing or removing of exhibits, sign updates at federal parks, and renaming entire military bases.

Last year, Trump attacked the Smithsonian, signing EO “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History,” claiming a dangerous influence of “woke” ideology. He particularly attacked the African American History & Culture Museum for housing “radical activists.”

Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

The Smithsonian Institution is more than a set of museums. It conducts research and educates the world on science, art, culture, and our very history. Lonnie Bunch’s departure is another step towards Trump rewriting of our American story. Here’s what we know: 🧵

Trump votes by mail. But he wants to make it harder for others because it's the only way Republicans can win. His new plan to withhold and reject ballots that don't meet his arbitrary standards will disenfranchise millions of Americans. The Supreme Court must reject this.

FWAD wants to remind you that, as a US Citizen, you have a right to vote. Do not let them stop you. That is exactly their plan. Take action. Make your voting plans now. Show up in person if you can. We’re here to provide you the resources.

We don’t know if this move will actually have an impact on our election. It could undermine them. But at the very least, it is meant to confuse and intimidate voters. We won’t stand for it.

All of this is happening quick. The contract should be finalized Monday, and the entire run of it ending by September 30. And you can guess which states they’re going after first.

120

Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Let’s be clear. States have a right to conduct their own elections and how they managed voter data. It does not belong to the federal government. This $5 million contract is an affront to American democracy and our electoral system.

They’re not just looking for your names. They’re looking at voter history and potentially party affiliation, too, which is a violation of your privacy rights.

ICE is on the move to steal your voter data. Last week, the agency published an RFI, looking for a company “to support Homeland Security Investigations fraud detection and data segmentation activities.”

Check your voter registration and be prepared to vote in-person. If this administration wants to steal democracy from us, they're going to have to fight us for it.
