🦬 Good! They should quit and find new jobs. They should also know that as someone with hiring power, I will never hire them into any DOI agency.

First they push 24% of rangers out the door, and tell us we can’t hire anyone to backfill those positions. Then, they tell us to fill those positions with seasonal (temporary) rangers—the positions in the NPS with the least protections.

DOGE isn’t gone. Ask any Fed who had a position affected by them. They’re embedded, in positions where they cannot be fired. @altssa.altgov.info @altcdc.altgov.info @altdoi.altgov.info @altnih4science.bsky.social @altfda.altgov.info And anyone I forgot. Feel free to chime in for Anna.

🦬 I am not kidding when I saw Dems need to start working on RIF language *now* so that new Agency heads can issue RIFs to all lingering DOGEies on day 1 of the next administration. @naturalresources.bsky.social

AltSSA@altssa.altgov.info · 11mo ago

They’re not gone they’ve just been embedded into the higher echelons of our agencies as SES level cronies that are permanent hires without having gone through any actual job training or vetting 😒😒😒

DOGE investigations and prosecutions are already overdue

🦬 Oil bro said he was leaving in August because RIFs were supposed to be implemented by then; since they’re actually wildly illegal, he’s been hanging on by his fingertips hoping to see them through. Who knows how much longer we’re stuck with him??? 🤡🤡🤡

@lepidolite19.bsky.social · 11mo ago

I thought that Hassen was supposed to have left already (It is hard to keep track of everything)

🦬 Speaking of DOGE, I like to keep track of all the original wreckers: One of whom is Amanda Scales, a Musk lackey who went back to xAI after failing out of DOGE after just six months. She’s unemployed now. 🤡

AltDOI@altdoi.altgov.info · 11mo ago

🦬 “DOGE” no longer exists— its employees have just burrowed into the agencies they were assigned to. Tyler Hassen. Stephanie Holmes. ⬆️ Just two of the people who need to be RIFed day one of the next administration (assuming they haven’t slunk away of their own accord before then).

Trump officials, including the head of OPM, are saying DOGE no longer exists. DOGE as influential entity seems to be done, but some DOGErs are in the National Design Studio and some burrowed into agencies e.g. Big Balls is at Social Security. bsky.app/profile/reut...

🦬 Two things Elon’s little X experiment (showing users’ locations) has made clear are: 1) There are so many more of us than there are of them. 2) What a world we live in…that making rage bait is the only way some people in developing countries are able to survive.

Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.* The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

🦬 The alacrity with which this administration kneecapped federal renewables is infuriating, but also insightful, because it shows that the next Democratic administration can and should do it to oil and gas.

🧵1/2 The Bureau level staff across DOI in HR, IT, Communications & Contracts who were “consolidated” to the Department level back in May(!) continue to be in a bizarre limbo and the Bureaus are being bullied into funding staff & “fees” while having their resources taken away.

🦬 I’m glad the House and Senate passed the Epstein Files Transparanecy Act, but a general reminder that this administration is anything *but* transparent. Remember when a court ordered DOI to submit its RIF plans, and they submitted 64 pages of redactions instead? I remember.

Danny is a Marine veteran + a dedicated federal worker. Veterans make up about 30% of the federal workforce, & many public services provide healthcare + benefits for those who served our country. This Veterans Day, we recommit to serving those who’ve served us — with fairness, dignity, & respect.

🦬 This is what happens when your National Parks are not staffed.

🇺🇸 This #Veterans Day, honor our vets by sharing the facts. For many veterans, service doesn’t end when they come home. Veterans make up nearly 1 in 4 federal employees, and 15% of the National Park Service. The federal government is the largest employer of veterans in the country. #VeteransDay #NPS

Shut us down for good reason. Open back up without any of those reasons having been fixed. You want us to have confidence in you? You want us to think YOU can lead US? Don’t get me wrong, it’s good to have a chance to be back.. but our pain produced nothing in return.
