This is a shameful way to treat our fellow citizens who are public servants. This doesn’t make America great.
This is a shameful way to treat our fellow citizens who are public servants. This doesn’t make America great.
To hear scientists and doctors pleading with the public, trying to convince them how hard they work is just... tragic.
Despicable
Republicans are doing irreparable damage to this country
MAGA doesn’t even know who or what made America great.
True!
I’m am sorry and angry - what a disgusting event.
A horrible way to treat them.. he is also 🥵
This letter is a lie. Most have refused to sign it, sending it back blank as their terminations have moved forward without it anyway. Shameful doesn't cut it. It is a straight up lie.
🤬💩☠️
If you're one of those people who claps every time some politician comes on to beat down on federal workers and government workers, you're part of the problem Unfortunately, the deadwood promoted in Trump 1.0 remained, festered, and will probably survive
So sorry Trump and Musk stomped on your rights and fired you. It infuriates me what massive job cuts Musk made. Should have used attrition and buyouts to slim departments. 😡😡
There’s worse coming. open.substack.com/pub/counters...
Trump doesn't care who gets hurt, sick or dies
On the contrary - as far as he's concerned, those three things should happen quickly. The faster it happens, the better according to him.
suno.com/song/485bfda...
proof has surfaced that Elon and Trump manipulated election results. the Election Truth Alliance has found through data analysis that the election results were manipulated in all Swing states. And that there should be an audit of Nevada. youtu.be/6G8fu50VRXo?...
FUCK TRUMP & his hatchet men!
Unacceptable!🤬
Under the guise of “making America Great” they have turned us into a parish that everyone laughs at.
Trump could care less about the pain he's inflicting on everyone. The irony is that when the pain is in his corner, he has really thin skin. The judge should be fired. It's a witch hunt. I did nothing wrong. The sociopath has no conscience. It's always always been about him. #FuckTrump
They are gutless, heartless. This is all so unnecessary. We need the CDC and the agencies that are being gutted. It’s enraging.
Rise up. Do something. Even if it's just a small defiant gesture.
HERE the judge is a Trump appointee, tho not one of the worst. But I don't get why these cases aren't being litigated on the threshold issue of whether a president has authority to kill a congressionally established federal agency. Some finally are. Why not this one? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...
I’m sorry that MAGA thinks this is even an option.
What did you expect? Trump didn't hide his intentions. Merrick Garland was more concerned about protecting Americans from Ticketmaster than from insurrectionists, so here we are. We get to spend our time reaping what our pathetic justice system has sown.
This is a disgraceful way to treat highly educated, intelligent, experienced professionals
And GREED!
In their dreams they aren’t making us great. They are making us a third class nation.
ABSOLUTELY
Facts
And corruption. Don’t forget about the lining of their own pockets
Absolutely
Rebuilding what Elon Strangelove is destroying will take a decade
One of the themes in Project 2025 is a disdain for civil servants and a desire to make them suffer. Truly demented stuff.
And the head of OMB (Office of Management and Budget) wants federal employees to be terrorized. TERRORIZED. Everybody has worked for bad companies and/or bad bosses. I don't think there are many private companies who would tolerate this for long.
Vought is beyond disturbing. These are very sick Christian Nationalists running the country.
Joyce , please, how can Trump and Musk actually legally do this!!
His America is Putin's America. He is full on happy to hurt everyone
😢
You are fit and our nation will be less safe without you.
I know, Joyce. I know.
We rely on the CDC need every good person there and for more research more hiring to occur. I feel great pain and sadness at every individual firing. We are are losing our finest.
One of these employees are going to go postal on these punks.
It’s not just about the way the employees are treated. It’s about the way America is treated. We rely on the work of these public servants to keep us safe. All this to make sure the oligarchs keep more money?
These are just regular citizens hired to do a job and are being vilified by MAGA loving ilk as “deep state” and cheering on these firings. Horrendous.
Lots of crappy news tonight
The relentless cruelty and career busting efforts from Trump is sickening to watch. Trump has done nothing to help our country. He’s only inflicting suffering.
It is time for patriots to wake up and be counted, millions died to give what we now call America, no sinking fascist is going to take that away from us and we should not allow them.
This sort of thing will drive you into the ground. At some point, there is no return. Americans need to educate themselves what Nazis and Fascist are. Bezos, Musk, and Trump are pure forms of these. Millions of people did not die in WW2 for this shit and they were my countrymen and yours there.
I spent a significant part of my career repairing and rebuilding broken companies, and I can tell you this is NOT the way to do it. Even when personnel reductions are required, it can be done with empathy and respect for employees. This chain saw Act demonstrates NO appreciation for the task.

Doesn't this make MAGA Morons Great!
In many states, they will have trouble collecting unemployment since it’s phrased as being fired for performance.
I'm no lawyer, but I was an HR manager and the comment about performance seems to be a slam dunk winnable suit for the person who was fired.
Sad.....BUT we need to let everyone know that the MAGA'S want to Make America White Again! Plus, dismantle every government department so that the felon Trump can be the KING of America! How sad that the felon thinks he has that much power!
We are headed for Armageddon
Campout For Freedom April 20th York Nebraska, we will pitch tents til they cave. 50 camps in 50 states. United, we stand. Divided, they will fall.
There was a Reddit post from a Fed supervisor who had one of their employees commit suicide after being let go.
We CANNOT Manage what we DO NOT MEASURE. The CDC is critical to Americans Health and Welfare. So much for our inalienable rights of “Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness”
Someone will go postal soon. I can’t blame them.
🥺😓😡
Guess you don't need to tell me you're an intelligent, capable democrat. Fuck that psychotic orange felon. Resistance isn't futile. Revolution is necessary. 🌊🇺🇸🇺🇦🌈🟧🌍💙 refusefascism.org.
I think you’re brilliant but that’s not the plot here. This is 1933 Germany. Proj 2025 called for a dictatorship. Maga is built on the fear of the white man becoming the minority in the US to women & Hispanics. Women are now 53% of the electorate. Hence trumps purging of women & minorities in govt
What I don’t understand how short sighted MAGA was in forgetting that trump was responsible for more than a million deaths during COVID. Then they go and vote for him? I don’t understand how anyone in their right mind would vote for that POS.
😔
And many brave journalists are constantly pushing to get answers from trump/musk to get them on the record about the impact of these cuts. Unfortunately, only kidding about brave and journalists.
King Donald's aim is to "Make LIFE MORE DIFFICULT for Americans!"
Time to wake up America. This. Is. Happening. 2025.
I’m so sorry.
Shameful
I hope these public servants find the best attorneys and start the lawsuits rolling! DAMMIT!!!
This is shameful. Shame on the Republican administration.
Brain drain
If America voted in a POTUS who was an asset of an adversarial country, and the mission was to greatly damage America domestically and internationally, I wonder what that would look like. Just kidding, I don't need to wonder.
This is shameful, and unconstitutional.
The gop doesn't care about citizens. Just profits. Period.
It's just a joke to them. This was probably written by a 19 year old being an idiot. So shameful. I'm so sorry this is happening to so many good people.
Depraved and reprehensible but what can you expect from a circus of deranged, drug-addled, conspiracy cons, hillbilly’s and ignorant, selfish morons? Talk show hosts and apprentices.
Couldn’t most of the country say that about the president and his Nazis side kick.
when were we not great ? since trump came into office, now we are shame.
This is far beyond shameful. Public servants deserve better treatment from a President who has no concept of what service even means.
That slogan was phony anyway.
Well you and I both know that is not what they mean about making AmeriKKKa great again
It’s not just the loss of the jobs of these good hard-working people, it’s the larger expenses the country will see as a result. Ideological extreme fascism is the purpose. They could care less about anyone but themselves.
The cruelty of the letter is equal only to the importance "the Agency" is given, repeatedly, in not-at-all-fascist-like ways.
They need to fight back. Imagine everyone just accepting it and walking away, Good performance, not probationary, etc., the reason for the termination doesn’t align with reality. Get an attorney and fight back.

I’ve been fired without cause. It’s not fun, and it’s important to stand up for your career and work, if that’s important. Personally I hope they sue the pants off the gov’t. They could have been laid off. Instead they receive a letter with lies. It’ll cost more $ in lawsuits than they’ll save.
Their treatment of employees is awful and insulting. It makes me sick.
National Suicide Prevention HotLine RING RING 🔔 "Hello...who's calling please?" 👉 the nation
It would not surprise me if Doge is data mining for posts and DM’s to weed out non-Trumpers to be fired.
We're going to have a terrible brain drain. These medical personnel can work anywhere. Not too long ago, my daughter made an inquiry to New Zeland. They would be pleased to have her. Her skill set is desperately needed in many countries. Why would dedicated public servants want to put up w this.
This is intentional, to kill Americans. THIS is Putins plan!
tRump is ruthless in his grab for power. He doesn’t want a working democracy with governmental agencies providing services to the people. He wants to be a dictator in a weakened country so no one will have knowledge to counter act his pronouncements of pure lies. See his unqualified cabinet.
I guess a lot of people think it's OK if it's not them or their family. We'll it's not!!!
How DARE they libel these folks. I'd take a class action for false accusations and damage! Every time fat Donny and the doge carries out actions like this they cost us $$$ millions in court actions due to their ineptitude.
Not only is the Trump administration and his Lacky Elmo running roughshod over our institutions firing people in the most inhumane way…they’re also disparaging them by announcing they’re being let go for “poor performance” which is just another LIE !! Loathsome p.o.s.
How can we reach the still doubting doubters to open their 👁️ ... HE NEVER INTENDED TO MAKE THE U.S. GREAT, ALWAYS INTENDED TO MAKE THE U.S. HIS 🤬
events.pol-rev.com/events/811bc...
Your so correct
The cruelty is the point.
Thank you. The Felon will be gone.
Everything about this traitorous administration has been nothing but shameful! The two years till midterms cannot pass soon enough! May those who can, do all they can to prevent the amount of damage that these miscreants are gleefully inflicting on us!
The work of public health is critical and vital. It is not political!This is a significant loss! We need to have knowledgeable and dedicated workers to keep America safe!
Jesus had a last supper.
Are all of these positions at will employees? Aren’t there protections in these federal jobs?
Perhaps more civil servants should have VOTED FOR HARRIS last year November? 🤣🤣🤣
This is exactly what 1.5% more voters wanted in the 2024 election…exactly this. Get rid of those ppl w/ experience & degrees & expertise….revenge….that’s a very deferent level of inquiry. We should strive for ignorance??? Idk
Where was your evaluation? Where was progressive discipline? Where was your opportunity to make corrections? Every single one of you should sue!
And that notice was just cruel. I guess that’s the plan.
In fact this make us less safe. !
It is sad that people that could make better money elsewhere and are dedicated to this country and their work are treated so poorly by this regime says so much about the people in power. It is disgraceful.
It makes America ridiculous & petty!!
How does this make America great? Tourists won’t come to a country with rampant infectious diseases. Measles, Covid, bird flu. America is mostly about entertainment. Sports venues and tourist spots are bound to cause illnesss.
Isn't it illegal to fire someone in the USA for supposed 'performance' reasons if their performance is actual good?
And telling stellar employees that their work is subpar when it's not should be grounds for a lawsuit.
Inquiring minds would like to know what trump has ever done to make America great. Ill wait.
Awful. Hard working, smart people. Trashed. It's miserable.
I’m afraid that the downstream effect of all this bullshit and chaos is that it will be decades before truly qualified people with integrity will want to work in or adjacent to the federal government. And I think for MAGA that is a feature, not a bug.
We had a habit of saying "thank you for your service" to those in military service. We should also say that to those in civil service. ...And fight to stop these indiscriminate cuts that weaken our country.
Nasty paragraph!
Trump once said, alone I can fix it.🙄
Such blatant disregard for these people, their livelihoods, their families. The anxiety and stress of waiting to hear if you’ll have a job tomorrow.
😤
Imagine, knowing all this would happen if eelon and trump were elected and voting for it anyway with a smile 🤦🏼♀️ we were never great! And never will be now
This isnt legal. Hope he fights it.
What until you find out how they are treating Transgender people.
This administration is a disgrace not only to our nation's founders and our values, it is a disgrace to the future we have a right to believe in and build. This administration is unfit for office.

Thank you sir for your years of service.
The coup plotters following Hitler's early rise to power handbook to a tee, getting rid of science experts and public health officials as a first move... It is well past anyone using any word to describe this except coup to start learning how to spell coup, and how to say it. "coo"
The republican way of discharging those from their jobs: - no person to person interaction - without a truthful explanation - without giving the person a chance to defend themselves
We will keep fighting to end/repair all of this chaos. I'm so so sorry.
And more will come if we don’t stop the ignorant/opportunistic from spreading disinformation. I stand by you.
Nothing trump/DOGE/Republicans are doing helps regular Americans or our children or the country at large be great. They are making life hard for mainstream America to enrich the ultra-rich & align with the autocratic axis nations. It’s going to be the French Revolution all over again.
A hateful way to treat our public servants very evil
Trump and Musk are quickly deconstructing our government to make it a dictatorship. Trump said many times that we’ll never need to vote again and I believe him. I’m applying for a second citizenship, back to the country my ancestors left, just in case Trump and Elon pull it off. It’s only 1 month!
When MLK organized Sit ins people were worried that the protesters would be lynched. Worried the protests would be ineffective. But the protests hit the wallets of the business owners and there was strength in numbers. Join me; #CallIn to the Trump hotel, Lunch every Friday 1(855)878-6700 #resist
I’m beginning to think it’s not about making America great. It’s about destroying the country for Russia
It never was about making America great, it’s always been about restructuring or eliminating the Constitution and the regulations that keep us and our environment safe, all to further enrich the already obscenely rich!
Yes it is. And it will take decades to repair the damage to the institutions. For the thousands of individuals affected, it will take them years, and its completely unfair to them and their families
I can see the next sentence of that message... "The agency now needs people who can LIE convincingly and can tell people that trump is the best thing that ever happened to 'his' country, and that the citizens should all be happy to give up all the benefits that it has taken years to put in place."
Trump is trying to kill off as many people as he can by doing away with CDC employees who helped keep us safe. I wish those doctor’s at the hospital would have let that fkr die when he got covid.
It doesn't make young people as they determine their career path choose public service either.
It's appalling and cruel.
This is so stupid
Fight it! Most of what they are doing is illegal and the COURTS are siding with US.
Trump is going to be "let go" in fine way such as an ass whoopn or somethn.😆😅😁😄
Please fight these wrongful terminations. Even if some think they’ll land on their feet there are others who may not. Plus, accepting this dismissal without cause sets a precedent. They’re already ignoring guidelines and rules and violating laws. All of these need to go to court.
Trump doesn't want people who can think for themselves or are smarter than he is, which is scary.
America is not great. We’re the opposite of great. We’re what happens when we hand our will over to a despot. We are 1939 Germany. The only question now is where do we go from here, Auschwitz or Geneva? It’s our choice.
This person should fight this in the courts.
this makes us easier prey More government jobs doing productive useful things. More families in homes secure doing work that needs doing. More taxes on the playboys popping off their rockets. If We the People are expendable ... Who're We sending to Mars?
Joyce, is all you can say, from your powerful media seat, is SHAMEFUL, fucking shameful.....? SHAME ON YOU FOR YOUR PATHETIC CONTRIBUTION! DID YOU JUST RUN OUT OF BALLS?
The orange madman & his mentor Musk are putting the lives of all Americans in danger. The CDC needs to retain their staffing to protect us from the spread of deadly diseases and viruses that can spread & turn into another pandemic 😷.
To Trump, making America great is making it in his image. Your version of greatness doesn't count.
The term ltr really says: "We want employees with blind loyalty to Donald Trump and couldn't care less about actual job qualifications." @cbsnewsconfirmed.bsky.social @nbcnews.com @abcnetwork.bsky.social @msnbc.com @wsj.com @schumer.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedem.bsky.social
Sue for wrongful dismissal. Tell the places you spend your pay that you can no longer use them. Business WILL be affected when large chunks of the $271 Billion federal payroll are ripped out of the economy.
This is not a sign of a dynamic democracy.
Serious douche-baggery
The mentality that ignoring a problem makes it magically vanish is maddening and incredibly shortsighted. People will die for no reason except hubris. MAGA people too.
The health of this country is in direct correlation to the strength of the country.
I want to see exactly why his skills no longer fit the agency's needs, and exactly how those needs have suddenly changed. This smoke and mirrors, don't look behind the curtain, believe us and shut the hell up crap has to stop. Dem Reps and Senators: get vein-popping, table-banging MAD! 🤨🤬 [==*==]
DAY 34 Is the U.S. approaching the “Tipping Point?” “A moment at which a change or effect becomes irreversible? “Crossing the Rubicon" deliberately proceeding past a point of no return? The Weimar Republic found itself there in a mere 53 DAYS #NoExplanationNeeded 🚨🚨🚨 are sounding.
It’s blatantly illegal and if rule of law still exists in this country, our brave public servants who are facing this psychological warfare from a Nazi regime will see swift justice. Thank you, Feds.
CDC has been a world leader. The damage being done to our research and health agencies will hurt not just the U.S. but the world. Canada, Australia, New Zealand - we may be exporting some of our finest medical researchers. I’m sure some of them will welcome a job in an English speaking country.
It’s because he isn’t white. It’s as simple as that. My blood boils and all I have to offer is that I hope I get to read some obituaries over the coming years with a coffee with a great deal of satisfaction.
I believe these actions will be the downfall of this despicable administration. So many lives and livelihoods discarded like trash. They and those of us who support them will not go quietly into the night nor will we forget.
This sickens me. How do we stop this insane butchery of those keeping us safe?
Shameful. Nothing less. These public servants, the Americans they serve, and the body of knowledge they represent, are all being shamefully discarded with each stroke of the resolute pen. A hostile discarding of collective intellect and compassion, much needed to sustain quality of life for all.
What I don’t understand is that as a non-probationary employee, shouldn’t this person have due process protections that prevent this ad hoc type of personnel action? The guy just can’t come in, waive a wand, and out you go. Otherwise, W and other Republicans would have pulled something like this.
Correct. I'm surprised that these kinds of firings are not able to be appealed or go through some kind of due process that is written in stone in the HR regulations of all the affected agencies and departments.
Trump wants to be a dictator and has no interest in making America great. The premise was a lie and we all need to get with the program and figure that out before it’s too late.
who did they vote for?
Surely telling them it’s for performance when they have stellar reviews positively invites lawsuits?
And it's just so insulting and petty. Tell the truth: "We don't approve of the program you're working on so we've eliminated it and all the funding. We'll mail your final check."
The President is allowed to have his preferences. He is not allowed to tear up contracts mid-term, or override Congressional appropriations. He knows this because he was already impeached for it once, but as with every other time he has wriggled out of consequences, it merely emboldened him.
Yes, I know all of that. I just find it absurd, along with so many other things he's done, that he'd say it was for poor performance when it's really just about the money. He's never experienced a consequence in his life and that is really the core problem.
It’s not even about the money. He is firing Black people, women, progressives, but not white MAGA. In some cases he is replacing qualified Black people with unqualified white men. It is blatant discrimination.
Maybe Trump does not like to pay his bills. He has stiffed many
Fuckedup country
If Karma wakes up and does its job, Trump and Elon will be Patient Zero and Patient One for the Bird Flu/COVID combo.
As a semi practicing Buddhist , that's not how karma works but fuck I'd take it
No, not great. It makes us stupid and self-destructive.
It's disgusting. If they insist on recklessly shutting things down and firing people to save money, why not be honest? The lies and cruelty seem to just make it more fun for them. Incredible disregard for Americans.
This is so sad and scary.
We are less safe with these firings.
yes bsky.app/profile/waja...
And it will make us more unhealthy, perhaps leading to more death in America.
