21 DOGE staffers resign, saying they won't help 'dismantle' public services

"We will not use our skills as technologists to compromise core government systems, jeopardize Americans' sensitive data, or dismantle critical public services. We will not lend our expertise to carry out or legitimize DOGE's actions," the anonymous staffers write in a letter posted publicly, and first reported by The Associated Press.

The staffers who resigned appear to have started with USDS before the Trump administration.

"As civil servants, we remained committed throughout the Presidential Transition to delivering better government services through technology and stood ready to partner with incoming officials," they write. "Each of us left senior private sector technology positions to pursue nonpartisan public service. We swore to serve the American people and uphold our oath to the Constitution across presidential administrations. However, it has become clear that we can no longer honor those commitments at the United States DOGE Service."

All the while with F-Elon crying "It's what the voters wanted!".

"SAN FRANCISCO — A federal judge on Thursday ordered the Office of Personnel Management to rescind directives that initiated the mass firing of probationary workers across the government, ruling that the terminations were probably illegal, as a group of labor unions argued in court..."

It's starting to look like the judiciary is finally catching up to this "flooding the zone with bullshit" tactic from the '2025' playbook and Steve Bannon's fetid cloaca.

I hope all those well meaning and hardworking federal employees get their jobs back with some backpay.

There needs to be some pain and suffering visited on the cretins who devised this cruel and illegal plan.

Yeah, yeah I know that's very unlikely to happen....
