Keith’s note: According to “Internal White House document details layoff plans across U.S. agencies“ from the Washington Post: “The document obtained by The Post was last updated Tuesday. Trump instructed the Office of Management and Budget in a Feb. 11 executive order to work with U.S. DOGE Service and Musk to shrink the workforce. Agency heads’ blueprints for meeting this goal were due to the budget office and the government’s human resources arm, the Office of Personnel Management, earlier this month. Plans for reorganization and further staff reductions are due by mid-April. The document shows reductions of 8 percent at the Justice Department, 28 percent at the National Science Foundation, 30 percent at the Commerce Department and 43 percent at the Small Business Administration, among others.” (AI Image)
They know, but Janet and the White House have cowed the Center Directors and others into chaining themselves by non-legal threats against “embargoing” sharing the directives they have given. This stuff is insanity.
Cowed is a tame word to use.
