In an April 16 internal email announcing the cancellation of the…report…Angelina LaRose, asst administrator in the #EIA’s office of #energy analysis, blamed the decision on the departure of so many staff #experts. >100 of the EIA’s 350 staff have left as a result of #firings or resignations, in the wake of “Fork in the Road” buyout offers from #ElonMusk’s #DOGE. “…we will not be releasing the IEO this year. This was a difficult decision based on the loss of key resources.”
So much knowledge about #health, #education, #weather, and other #sciences is now unavailable to the American people because of the massive #firings of #federal #agency #employees whose job it was to serve the public.

Facts People Facts - #ElonMusk was a permanent fixture in the early weeks of the administration. But he quickly became a #political liability. His mass #firings and chaotic rehiring of some #federal #workers are now estimated to have cost #taxpayers $135 billion — wiping out most of the $160 billion that #DOGE claims it saved. #government #politics #maga #economy #medicare #medicaid #healthcare #dipomacy #knowledge #expertise #skills
It said it had saved exactly $318,310,328.30.
#Musk’s group has now triggered mass #firings across the government, & sharp cutbacks in #humanitarian #aid around the world. Musk has justified those disruptions with two promises: that the group would be transparent, & that it would achieve budget cuts that others called impossible.
Now, watching the group pare back its aims & puff up its progress, some of its allies have grown doubtful about both.

*LUTNICK: "TRUMP MAY ROLL BACK CANADA, MEXICO TARIFFS TOMORROW."
This is not a way to govern. Trump is worse in his 2nd term bc SCOTUE gave him impunity & he has people around him that give into his every whim.
GOP Senators & Reps continue to appease him, but they're under pressure from their constituents to stop the #Firings, #Tariffs, reinstate #USAID... & save Medicaid, Social Security...

A U.S. judge has ordered President Trump’s administration to rescind a memo from the Office of Personnel Management directing other federal agencies to fire probationary employees. “(The) Office of Personnel Management does not have any authority whatsoever, under any statute in the history of the universe, to hire and fire employees within another agency,” the judge said. The order does not immediately reinstate any employees. Read more from @TheHill

#Trump #Funding freezes & #firings of #FederalWorkers combined w/the prospect of costly #trade wars are souring #consumer sentiment, raising #inflation expectations & stalling #business #investment plans, acc/to recent economic surveys.
Local economies are also bracing for a sudden withdrawal of fiscal support, forcing ofcls to contemplate #tax increases or municipal bond offerings to stabilize their budgets.
#Consumer & #business sentiment is wobbling as fiscal support fades & fears rise that #tariffs will lead to higher #prices.
The US #economy is starting to show signs of strain as #Trump’s *abrupt* [random, unreasonable, illogical] moves to shrink federal spending, lay off #FederalWorkers & impose tariffs on America’s largest trading partners rattle businesses & reverberate across states & cities.

#DOGE barrels toward a fresh round of #firings
Records show a Dept of #Labor [#DOL] component that enforces #EqualOpportunity employment laws is developing a plan to reduce its workforce by 90%.
…At the DOL, cuts proposed…would have a dramatic impact. The internal memo details plans to shrink the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs [#OFCCP] from >50 offices nationwide staffed by nearly 500 people to just 5 offices staffed by 50 people….

The revelation that #DOGE is working on #AutoRIF comes as it seemingly prepares for its 2nd major round of #firings.
…On Monday, NBC News reported that this information [the requested five bullet points explaining #FederalWorkers’ top work achievements of the last week] would be fed into an unspecified Large Language Model (#LLM) that would assess whether an employee was necessary.
Biasini has also been listed as the main point of contact for the government-wide email system created by the #Trump admin from within #OPM to solicit resignation emails from #FederalWorkers.
…In order to conduct RIFs, govt HR ofcls are required to create lists ranking employees who may be subject to #firings. #AutoRIF does that automatically, a fmr govt HR ofcl tells WIRED.
