The administration wouldn’t tell
@propublica.org
— or anyone — who has been cut from federal health agencies. That’s fine. We’ve been analyzing their directories since Jan. Turns out, we’ve lost thousands of scientists, regulators and other crucial roles.

Far from the most pressing issue right now, but it's disappointing that OPM has put their data dictionaries behind a gov login wall. There was nothing confidential in it, and it was super useful for working with gov HR data. cc:
