The commitment and courage of public servants to protect the people on full display www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ7Q...

This week, multiple leaders from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were ousted or resigned due to continued political interference and pressure to limit vaccine access – actions that defy the scientific evidence and endanger our health. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

DOGE had no idea who Paul was, but they pushed him out. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/09/o...

"One cannot help admiring the intellectual consistency, fearlessness, &respect for rules—concepts foreign to MAGA - that MacDonough has displayed. She’s demonstrating how government is supposed to work: by the book, and without regard to which party is in power." substack.com/@jenrubincon...

In case you missed it, here's our original investigation:

This week, Trump's WH issued guidance on implementing its so-called “Gold Standard Science” EO—framed by Science Advisor to the President Michael Kratsios as a fix for longstanding issues in the scientific community. But as UCS President @gretchentg.bsky.social explains, it’s all a “golden facade.”

New data from the Partnership for Public Service: Majority of the American public believes the Trump administration’s cuts to the government will harm the U.S. economy and make the country less safe. Read more here. ⬇️ bit.ly/MadMoney2025

We rallied nationwide yesterday! From Newsweek: "This is why federal workers are speaking out. They are reclaiming their role as caretakers of the public trust and know they must take back their workplaces." Here we are in NY, Chicago + Seattle. #federalworkersunited #KeepICEOut

The FDA allowed into the United States at least 150 drugs or their ingredients made at banned factories that were found to have mold, foul water, dirty labs or fraudulent testing protocols. What you need to know 👇

Megabill provisions targeting federal unions are DOA! Including making it easier to cut agencies, coercing new workers to be at-will employees, charging federal workers $350 to file complaints, & requiring the USPS to sell its electric vehicles www.govexec.com/workforce/20...

🚨 A child detained for 48 hours with only crackers & milk. 🚫 Congress blocked from oversight. ✊🏽 Federal workers are saying: Not in our name. We took an oath to defend the Constitution—not to enforce cruelty or cover it up #FUNetwork #StopTheRIFs #DefendDemocracy #NoMoreCages #ReimagineGovernment

"This is thug behavior and they should know it." abovethelaw.com/2025/06/kris...

TRO blocked or not: Thank you Judge Bryer for protecting our constitution and being clear: the"Court pauses to state that there can be no debate that most protesters demonstrated peacefully." And that the definition of rebellion cannot be changed by a lawless autocrat under our constitution!

Immigrant families with children are being held overnight in basements of federal buildings without food, water, basic lighting, or access to counsel and their loved ones after showing up for routine check ins. Trump is weaponizing our federal property for abuse. gomez.house.gov/news/documen...

Protest continues everywhere around the country. 100 people rallied at Spokane’s VA Medical Center to protest proposed cuts and layoffs at the VA—federal workers and veterans stood together to defend public care. #DefendThe4thBranch #ProtectVA #HandsOffvetsCare www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

Trump blocked from ending bargaining rights for TSA officers—roughly 50,000 workers retain union voice for now. #Defendfederalworkers #UnionRightsMatter www.reuters.com/business/wor...

While #toxicimmaturity rages between Trump & Musk, a court allows the dismantling of the Institute of Museum & Library Services, jeopardizing $266 million in grants for libraries and museums nationwide. #Defendthe4thbranch #PublicServiceMatters #SaveOurLibraries apnews.com/article/inst...

"If you haven't been poor don't legislate for the poor." Democracy means shared power, not control by a billionaire class. www.instagram.com/reel/DJ7pENs...

The Roberts Court has completely de-legitimized the Supreme Court. They are defenders of oligarchy and authoritarianism--not the constitution, our basic rights or freedom.

Judge blocks Trump from trying to shutter our Department of Education stating there was "no evidence that the [reduction-in-force] has actually made the Department more efficient. Rather, the record is replete with evidence of the opposite" www.npr.org/2025/05/22/n...

Trump is destroying our public institutions replacing skilled civil servants with incompetent lackeys. This is what he means by no more DEI. We have dozens of foxes in hen houses right now. www.youtube.com/shorts/KgIBd...

Join us, @ucs.org, @enviroprotnet.bsky.social and Branch 4 for a Federal Science Workers Happy Hour on May 27 at 6 p.m. ET Info + RSVP: act.ucsusa.org/435Y3ZI

The air traffic controllers keep us safe during flight. They are now past the breaking point. Other civil servants who keep us safe from pollution, food borne illness, public health risks and more are also under attack. #protectpublicservice we all need it! abcnews.go.com/Business/wir...

Lets get these corrupt appointees out of our government! Its not just Canada that is not for sale. Let them know our country is not either! (and good on you Canada!)

Democracy does not work without strong public service. The attacks on federal workers are attacks on our multiracial democracy and the public. Fight back this week by showing love to the people that serve their country and send Russel Vought the message that we will defend our civil servants.

Since the 1980's air traffic controllers have been calling for improved conditions. Instead, MAGA is now tearing through government destroying the capacity of our public workforce. Air traffic controllers are civil servants; their working conditions are our safety conditions! #supportcivilservants
