The federal government’s whiplash of freezes, pauses, layoffs, and reinstatements isn't just poor business strategy - it's disrupting real lives. Behind every one of these decision are families facing uncertainty, workers uprooting careers, and people whose wellbeing hangs in the balance.
I ran $100 billion in Infrastructure and IRA programs at EPA. We obligated over $70 billion onto signed awards and contracts to protect public health and the environment. All that funding is currently frozen. Here are the facts… 🔌💡 1/X
