A federal employee directory helped us figure out just how many workers have left federal health agencies since the beginning of President Donald Trump’s second term. Here’s how we crunched the numbers. By @pratheekrebala.bsky.social @anniewaldman.bsky.social @bxroberts.org
What a terrible loss of brains, skills, institutional knowledge and service to the American people - brought you by Trump, Musk/DOGE and the Republicans in Congress.
I’m really surprised it’s not 10 times that.
your administration’s transparency sucks , Don.
And these are high-level scientists and researchers. We are screwed.
That is the entire point. Idiots electing idiots got us here.

There are still employees listed that have been fired.
When Covid hit just 5 years ago, these health agencies were fully staffed and prepared, but later we could see how ill-prepared we were for what happened. People won’t understand how important these lost employees are until the next health crisis arrives and nobody’s there to meet the moment.
The corruption and incompetence of this administration will be the end of our republic if we don’t stand up and fight together to stop it
