>> #Brexit gave #UK citizens an education in why being a member of the EU was in fact a good thing. I fear that #Trump and #DOGE are giving #US citizens a similar lesson in the benefits of federal government and rule of law by dismantling them piece by piece.

I #hope, not #fear.

And let the lesson be 2-way. #Oligarchs should learn that they need us too. By starving and killing us, they only diminish the market for whatever they try to sell.

Many clouds have a silver lining 😉

**I only post the hottest 10 posts in the subreddit.**

PSA: /r/fednews is the largest community of federal workers on social media and a prime target for sophisticated propaganda. Critical thinking is now more crucial than ever.

This subreddit is under attack from foreign and domestic threat actors. Every high profile political subreddit will be a target. Use your critical thinking and slam your report button for weird stuff to help keep bad actors on the radar. Thank you all so much for your diligence, stay strong. Do not resign unless you already lined up another job and the timing befits gambling on a payout.

@pitrh pluss vi tester det i prod. Det er jo bare parasitter som er avhengig av offentlig støtte så det har ingenting å si. Men om noen skulle få mer utbetalt enn de skulle hatt tar vel neppe #DOGE skylden for det.

Deep fear in coal country: DOGE cuts put region's miners and families on edge

"The facility long entrusted with the protection of workers is among 34 centers in the United States that are expected to be shuttered in sweeping cuts to the federal agency that have not been felt in years.

In an ongoing effort to slash spending, the Department of Government Efficiency has targeted the mining agency in a move that surprised local inspectors"

"Nervous employees — roughly 82,000 across the nation’s public health agencies — waited to see whether pink slips would arrive in their inboxes. The mass dismissals have been expected since Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced last week a massive reorganization that will result in 20,000 fewer jobs at the Department of Health and Human Services. About 10,000 will be eliminated through layoffs."
