So it seems that Zeldin doesn't view the proliferation of dangerous toxins in our water supply and the food we grow as an immediate emergency. But EPA's employees know a crisis is brewing. Chalk this up as yet another travesty added to the list of consequences of slicing through the fed workforce:

FWAD is seeking multiple Federal HR & grants professionals for input on critical workforce issues. If this is you, we'd love to connect. We have a safe vetting process that ensures confidentiality to protect federal workers. Click the link & tell us about yourself: tinyurl.com/FWADPublicLo....

UP NEXT: Maybe the return of scurvy? Polio? Science matters. Health research matters. Environmental safety matters. And food safety is paramount. If RFK was supposed to make America healthy again, he's doing about as great a job as Elon did rooting out "waste, fraud and abuse."

A bright spot in this week's news as the MSPB rules that the 5,000+ probationary HHS employees fired in 2025 were illegally terminated. May we continue to see wins for illegally RIFd federal employees. The wheels of justice tend to turn slowly, but they do turn eventually.

The administration continues its campaign of cutting grants based solely on the political leanings of a state's populace and a random agency admin's feelings. Corruption is undeniable when taxpayer-funded projects in health, research & environment are parsed out by what primary color they represent.

Tens of millions of dollars in grant funds used for health research, health and environmental preservation, medical and scientific development, and human projects--defunded and completely halted with one keystroke, courtesy of a lazy and ill-informed keyword search.

Two hearings, thirteen months apart, with the same Hegseth begging for the same ridiculously large amount of money for the same war live-action games he wants to play using our taxes and the lives of our service members. We are done with throwing away our tax dollars.

Well, so much for this administration's promise of "radical transparency" in the Department of Defense. Thanks to Sen. Mark Warren (VA) for taking up the mantle to call out the hard truth: the war against Iran has been a complete failure… 🧵

Given all of the assaults on the American people's constitutional rights during the last 18 months, is it really surprising that this administration is going full steam ahead on reinvigorating McCarthyism?? But we are not and WILL NOT be deterred.

When Trump starts his election year routine of spouting lies about the 2020 election, we know he must be getting nervous. Don't believe his lies and don't allow him to trample all over our democracy. We must keep the pressure on, and election interference out!

After stripping civil service protections for at least 8,000 federal workers, this administration still thirsts for more workers to make suffer. When is enough going to be enough for them...AND US?

Midterm elections are rapidly approaching, and the Trump administration is rapidly spinning up mechanisms to subvert, delay, or otherwise impede them. Gutting the Election Assistance Committee is just the first strike. There are bound to be more.

Another week, another opportunity for Russell Vought and the Trump Administration to continue their ongoing assault on science and the federal workforce. But real-world evidence and scientific research doesn't bend to the whims of politicians or selfish agendas.

DISSENT IS NOT A FIREABLE OFFENSE. Fed workers shouldn’t be punished for exercising free speech, and warning the American public about potential harm to public health and the environment shouldn't end their careers. Unlawful retaliation won't ever stop us from standing behind people who speak up.

No kings. No tyrants. We fight for democracy on this and every Independence Day 🇺🇸

Today, active-duty Air Force Major Jason Watson gave a master class in putting country over self as he demanded Trump's impeachment from the Capitol steps.

Rep. Mark Pocan (WI-02) held OMB Director Russell Vought's feet to the fire during today's Congressional hearing. Pocan continually demanded that Vought answer for the many global deaths he helped facilitate by canceling USAID's funding, firing all of its employees, and effectively shuttering it.

There is a word for when power collapses inward onto one person: AUTHORITARIANISM. And it arrives ruling by ruling, until it feels like it's too late. This decision won’t stop us from resisting authoritarianism, and it shouldn’t stop you either.

Trump is effectively taking another sledgehammer to Ed Dept. by removing civil rights enforcement & special education program authority. While this comes as no surprise, that does not make it any less dangerous or devastating for students, parents, & communities across the country. Full statement⬇️

Our spokesperson, Aisha Coffey, joined The Great Battlefield podcast to talk about her experience at the FDA & why she joined our organization, a coalition that supports federal workers in upholding their oath by protecting the public good. Listen: greatbattlefield.com/episode/empo...

The Trump Administration wants federal workers who are “yes” men. America needs federal workers who will stand up & say no to corruption. Every person who refuses to carry out unethical orders is helping propel our movement forward for the safety of our lives & our democracy. @democracyforward.org

There's a point when authoritarianism stops disguising itself. Imagine citizenship being revocable based on the whims of a select few political appointees. Federal workers take an oath to the Constitution, not to a president or a political party. time.com/article/2026...

Trump Administration Moves to Strip Citizenship From 17 People

The action marks the latest move in the Administration's aggressive denaturalization efforts.

"Yesterday, the Trump administration stripped thousands of federal public servants of key labor rights and civil service protections by reclassifying senior federal workers as at-will employees. This means they can be fired at the drop of a hat without cause." Read our full statement ⬇️

Hurricane season is here & FEMA still has 20% less disaster-response staff to help the American people than last year. This administration's reckless cuts are now putting every American at risk & that is unacceptable. Our leaders must show up, stand up & speak up before more homes & lives are lost.

On Trump’s NDAs: “It appears to be a deliberate attempt to chill and intimidate federal employees from speaking with a press, potentially even making lawful disclosures through the FOIA & releasing information that the Government just doesn’t like.” - Lauren Harper, Freedom on the Press Foundation💯

ICYMI: Trump administration is preparing to require federal workers to sign NDAs. Policies that increase fear, silence dissent, or limit transparency should concern every American. We swore an oath to the Constitution and the American people. We will not be silenced. www.cnn.com/2026/05/26/p...
