"A MD fed judge blocked the Trump admin from carrying out the mass firing of prob fed WKRs, extending & expanding an earlier 14-day halt. Order applies to fired WKRs at 20 US agencies in the 20 sts that sued."

BcVA's GOP AG chose not to join the lawsuit, the Trump admin can continue to fire any prob employee who lives or works in VA, but not any prob employee who lives or works in MD or DC. What a mess for the DMV."

McCain is heartbroken about the news that funding for brain research was cut at the NIH. Her late father, John McCain, was treated for Glioblastoma.

Meghan's husband, Ben Domenech, is a staunch Republican, & has been a supporter of #Trump.

"The #HHS is being decimated right now. Mass layoffs happening across agencies: #NIH, #FDA, #CDC...

HHS victims of the (RIF) employees who’ve received letters are being told it’s for performance, citing their most
recent performance.

But multiple employees have told me the NUMBERS ARE COMPLETELY FABRICATED & don't actually reflect performance stats."
