🚨"Update: DOGE removes 31 more incorrect claims -- and $122M in savings -- from its "Wall of Receipts" after we identified they were wrong.

The listings were wrong b/c the contracts DOGE claimed credit for killing were not dead anymore: agencies had revived them."

The NPCA has calculated the Trump admin’s proposed🚨cuts to the National Park Service budget could result in >75% reduction to the #NPS. With 433 national park units across the country, that'd essentially wipe out budgets & staffing for at least 350 national park units.

The admin’s recently released budget proposal calls for a cut of >$1B to the NPS -includes a $900M cut to the ops of our national parks...

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.”

“There’s no real method to it -no geopol connection."

Under Musk: admin is firing 1000s of prob employees. The effort has upended the lives of govt workers.

“Move fast & break things,” If that involves breaking the law, then that becomes problematic.”

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.

Fed employees: Trump's fed RTO order has resulted in🚨chaos (incl bad Wi-Fi & no TP), with productivity plummeting & public services suffering.

At the CDC one employee says that the focus on RTO mandate has meant a lot of chaos for ppl who actually need to do their jobs in person. "All the chaos has made it more difficult for the lab ppl. I'd say with everything they get 2-3 hours less of meaningful work out of me each day.”
