  1. Remind me again how cancer diabetes Alzheimer’s etc disease is liberal?

    ELI5.

    All the feds I work with are gone. All the director level folk are gone. I do Alzheimer’s research. Tell me again how what I do is a liberal conspiracy and supporting my work is wasteful.

  2. The silver lining is that someone who has no idea of the in’s and out’s of the federal government is doing this. Take the EPA for example. They are the environmental agency and conservatives take aim at it first whenever there are cuts to be made. What someone like Musk doesn’t understand is that there are lots of other agencies that actually do the EPA’s regulatory work. For example, while EPA makes rules related to the clean water act, the Department of the Army, through the Corps of Engineers actually carries out the regulatory programs to enforce protection of the nation’s waterways.

  3. It was never about finding “fraud and corruption.” It was always about overriding Congress to impose Trump’s punitive impulses on stuff MAGA hates, particularly helping the vulnerable.

    I’m a federal employee in one of the red dot agencies. My colleagues who were fired were told, in writing, that it was due to “your performance”. There is ample evidence, including the data shown here, that it was not due to performance. I could see these data being used in court by plaintiff.

  5. Data doesn’t lie, but it can be misinterpreted. For example, this could be viewed as an attack on Liberal institutions, or it could be viewed that Liberal institutions are the least efficient, and hence get more cuts. The best way I would say to distinguish would be a count of agencies that have been targeted on each side, which at a glance seem fairly even.

    Why is there a teenager who calls himself “Big Balls” in charge of firing people?

    Those damn liberal ideas.. like educating children, feeding hungry people all over the world, and protecting consumers! God damn liberal ideas! /s (as if it’s needed)

  8. I’m sure we’ll also find out that all the ICE raids are being conducted in primarily Blue voting areas.

    If they were to go after undocumented laborers on farms in Red states, the economic & political repercussions would be swift.

  9. Trump defunding National Parks is the weirdest one of out all of them to me because that seems like one of the few things most Americans would agree should need funding.

  10. It is known that facts and cience and research have a liberal bias. I don’t want none of that in my government. I want conservative lies and fairy tales. I can’t trust that the bridge isn’t going to collapse if a liberal government employee inspected it. Or that the rest of the 98% in 2% milk isn’t liberal. I like my bridges rickety and my milk raw.

    Is the IRS liberal? From my understanding, huge government deficits are becoming more and more conservative

  12. Nothing says questionable data like subjective terms such as “perceived ideological leaning”

  13. It’s war. Open war against citizens of the country. It won’t be sustainable for the entire year.

  14. What is this nonsense? Veterans Affairs.. Nuclear Admin security… FAA, Forest Service Nobody labels those as “liberal” agencies.

  15. I have empathy for anyone having to change careers. I really do. I went through it and it sucks. And the industry I am in is going away probably sooner than later. It is what it is. I was told I got what I deserved, I should have planned better and the ole learn to code(which isn’t a thing). I was told I didn’t understand bc I wasn’t smart enough to understand the big picture. I don’t think it matters what policies you vote for. I hope it goes smoothly for everyone involved. Maybe get upset with the people that have been stealing money for years? They were the ones saying these things to me.

  16. The truth is they’re literally all liberal. It’s like saying liberals are being targeted at college campuses.

    I was laid off from a position where I supported the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) through Medicaid. We were updating their technical infrastructure and taxpayers were receiving an exponential return on this investment from the significant cost & time savings.

    A billionaire non-citizen is raping our country in public, including the children.

  18. They’re just trying to take over, putting their people in place, using the whole small government angle as a distraction.
