US nuclear weapons agency hit by layoffs after DOGE exemption denied

Saturday, 15 February 2025 18:07

NNSA in chaos The semi-autonomous agency that oversees U.S. nuclear weapons production and stockpiling dismissed dozens of employees Thursday after the Trump administration denied a request for a national security exemption to stop the layoffs.

Former NNSA administrator Jill Hruby, who led the organization from July 2021 through her Jan. 20 resignation, said the cuts originally impacted "over 300" of National Nuclear Security Administration's approximately 1,900 federal employees before the agency began reversing layoffs.

In a Friday evening statement, Department of Energy press secretary Ben Dietderich said, "Less than 50 employees were dismissed from the NNSA." The targeted workers were relatively new employees in their probationary period, during which they don't have civil service firing protections.

Some federal workers given just 30 minutes to leave amid Trump layoffs

Saturday, 15 February 2025 00:18

Some federal employees who have been laid off were reportedly given only 30 minutes to pack their belongings and vacate federal offices. Federal agencies were ordered by Donald Trump to fire mostly probationary staff, with as many as 200,000 workers set to be affected and some made to rush off the premises, the Washington Post reported.

More mass layoffs came on Friday as approximately 2,300 employees have been fired from the US interior department.

The interior department oversees the US’s natural resources and manages 500m acres of public land, including national parks. The widespread layoffs were confirmed by three sources with knowledge on the subject, who spoke to Reuters anonymously.

Probationary employees at two US agriculture department research agencies were also fired, Reuters reported, citing two anonymous sources. The exact number of terminated workers has not been confirmed, but layoffs reportedly happened overnight.

Judge extends temporary block against Elon Musk's access to Treasury Department records

Friday, 14 February 2025 23:42

Letitia James A federal judge in New York on Friday extended the temporary block against Elon Musk, President Donald Trump’s appointee to look for government waste, from gaining access to confidential government information.

New York Attorney General Letitia James led a lawsuit from 19 states seeking to continue blocking Musk's Department of Government Efficiency's access to Treasury Department computer systems. U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas extended the order Friday that another judge put in place Feb. 8 but did not say when she would rule on a more permanent preliminary injunction.

The case was one of three featuring challenges from states and unions against Musk's efforts to root out waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government.

Elon Musk’s DOGE Posts Classified Data On Its New Website

Friday, 14 February 2025 17:34

doge Elon Musk’s team at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency has posted classified information about the size and staff of a U.S. intelligence agency on its new website, raising bigger concerns about where Musk’s programmers got this information and what they are doing with it.

DOGE, which President Donald Trump created to purportedly root out waste in the federal government, launched its website on Wednesday night with a feature allowing users to “trace your tax dollars through the bureaucracy.” People can navigate through all federal agencies and offices for details about their head counts, budgets and average ages of employees.

US park service erases references to trans people from Stonewall Inn website

Thursday, 13 February 2025 23:39

The National Park Service eliminated all references to transgender people from its website for the Stonewall national monument on Thursday. The monument commemorates a 1969 riot outside New York City’s historic Stonewall Inn, led by trans women of color, that ignited the contemporary gay rights movement.

The move comes as federal agencies across the country seek to comply with an executive order Donald Trump signed on his first day in office, calling for the US government to define sex as only male or female.

DOJ won't drop firearms charges against former Jan. 6 defendant arrested near Obama home

Thursday, 13 February 2025 22:14

Taylor Taranto The Justice Department does not intend to drop firearms charges against a Seattle man arrested near the Obama family’s D.C. home in 2023 despite dismissing counts last month connected to the Capitol riot, prosecutors said in a filing Tuesday.

Federal prosecutors dismissed pending charges in hundreds of remaining Jan. 6 cases last month following President Donald Trump’s clemency order ending the investigations and pardoning more than 1,200 people convicted in connection with the attack on the U.S. Capitol. Among those dismissals was the case against Taylor Taranto, 38, who faced five counts for allegedly unlawfully entering the Capitol as part of the pro-Trump mob.

Three top federal prosecutors resign after refusing to drop Adams charges

Thursday, 13 February 2025 17:43

Danielle Sassoon The top federal prosecutor in New York and two senior federal prosecutors in Washington have resigned after refusing to follow a Justice Department order to drop the corruption charges against New York City mayor Eric Adams, multiple officials said Thursday.

The resignations amount to a stunning public rebuke of the new Justice Department leadership under the Trump administration in one of the country's most high-profile criminal cases.

The departures come after Emil Bove, the acting U.S. deputy attorney general, issued a memo Monday ordering federal prosecutors in New York to drop the case against Adams arguing, in part, that it hampered his ability to tackle “illegal immigration and violent crime."
