The Trump administration carried out more mass firings across the Health and Human Services Department this weekend, continuing a chaotic purge of the federal workforce that career officials and lawmakers warned would hurt key programs and impair efforts to track threats to public health.
The cuts hit staffers at the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, several people with knowledge of the firings told POLITICO. The administration also terminated some staff at the office responsible for emergency preparedness and response.
The firings were part of a culling of roughly 3,600 probationary employees across the sprawling department that began earlier this week with terminations primarily at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Institutes of Health.

Stephan,
Please never NEVER refer to Trump as “king” or use the word “king” in association to his name. He is not and will never be our king and using that word with his name plays right into his slimy slinky way of getting things doneL:
Say it, Do it, Be it.
Look how the atrocious “bigly” is used all over the place.
I have stated many times that the elite’s response to COVID will go down as a disaster when examined through a historical lens. What you are witnessing is the revenge of the masses as a result of the heavy handed, nontransparent, and elitist response to COVID by the authorities. This response could have been handled differently, in a much more cautious manner, without all of the floundering. The Swedish model is but one example. The American public has lost its faith in the medical establishment and authorities due to the inherent conflicts of interest embedded in the illness profit model. The public believes that it was lied to ( and it was), it believes it was mislead ( and it was), and it does not want the establishment to have the power to impose the restrictions upon it that were placed during the COVID scare. When the public becomes angry like this the costs are significant
What Americans have learned, even the MAGAs, is that No.2 is totally incompetent and definitely a dictator with little knowledge of how government is supposed to run. His poll numbers are plummeting and people are complaining about nearly everything he and Musk are doing! So, to me, I have the hopeful feeling that come November, 2026, we will be rid of him. My guess is that after all the suffering for over a year and the incompetence and plummeting of America’s status in the world, Dems, Republicans, Independents, and even MAGAs will realize that they need to replace the spineless Republicans who allowed this to happen and did nothing! They even voted for the most incompetent administration in American history. We have a long memory!
