“In the U.S., the federal cost cutting measures led by the so-called ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ (DOGE) have sliced into the country’s international efforts at fostering better groundwater management harmony.”

The World Is Running Out of Fresh Water. What Happens If We Do?

The pace of freshwater depletion is staggering. An area twice the size of California is drying up annually.

"Trump Administration Is Bringing Back Scores of C.D.C. Experts Fired in Error."
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/health/cdc-layoffs-measles.html

PS: More evidence of slash-and-burn tactics, haste, and recklessness. The Trump layoffs are about shrinking govt, not eliminating inefficiency -- just as the deportations are about ethnic cleansing, not crime. The Trump layoff criteria are bad enough. But these layoffs, like many before them, didn't even meet the Trump criteria.

🚨"#DOL staffers who took DOGE’s “Fork in the Road” offer earlier this year have returned to the agency as full-time workers after collecting their full pay & benefits for months w/o performing their job duties.

The reinstatements demonstrate the whiplash fed workers face when Trump’s directives to shrink the govt collide with the demands of an agency’s day-to-day work.

DOGE hat Daten zu allen Menschen in den USA in die Cloud kopiert

Ach, was kann dabei schon schiefgehen? 🤷‍♂️
Was für ein Wahnsinn.

Angestellte der vormals von Elon Musk geleiteten US-Regierungsorganisation DOGE haben im Juni eine äußerst sensible Datenbank mit Sozialversicherungsdaten zu so gut wie allen Menschen in den Vereinigten Staaten auf einen ungeschützten Cloud-Server gestellt.

On the left: Nate Cavanagh, a 28-year-old #DOGE staffer and college dropout.

On the right: Mohammad Halimi, a 53-year-old exiled Afghan scholar.

This is the story of how DOGE targeted Halimi on social media. Then the #Taliban took his family. 🧵

@ProPublica#DOGE staffers like Cavanagh, as well as Musk, have more in common with the Taliban than with the American democratic tradition.

#Trump threatens to take over #WashingtonDC governance

Trump said on Tues the #FederalGovernment could take control of #Washington, #DC if the local govt "doesn't get its act together," with his comments coming in a social media post complaining about crime in the #US capital.

"The Law in DC must be changed to prosecute these 'minors' as adults, & lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14," Trump posted.

"If D.C. doesn’t get its act together, & quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City," #Trump added.

Trump’s latest threat to take over #WashingtonDC came after he learned that #ElonMusk protégé & former #DOGE staffer known as #BigBalls was injured in an attempted carjacking Sunday morning in #DC.

"As the best and the brightest were being fired at the National Weather Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration by senseless and draconian ‘DOGE’ cuts earlier this year under Trump, with no reason given except for the need to cut a paltry amount of the government’s budget, experts warned repeatedly that the cuts would have deadly consequences during the storm season. And they have."
