As far as I'm aware, the first documented spike in data leaving an agency after DOGE infiltration. Extensive forensic evidence.

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

@kelegraph.bsky.social hi from someone who grew up a bit in perrysburg, but mostly lima!

been thinking a lot about how tours of service hiring hacks resulted in a federal technology workforce that is largely outside organized labor protections. so much of 18F and USDS are in term-limited roles that leave them ineligible for union membership, even if they've been there for years.

Hey - federal employees: If you want to share information about what is happening inside the federal workplace...you should contact a proper reporter.

Compelling Mass Civil Servant Resignations Will Create Chaos Twitter is not a model for government reform

New, from me: Looking closer at the effort to induce mass civil servant resignations.

*Feds should read the fine print
*If mass resignations occur, it is really bad for the rest of us
