    Breaking WaPo:

    The Department of Health and Human Services has granted DOGE access to a sensitive child support database with troves of income data — overriding the objections of career employees.

    The database contains substantial amounts of personal income data linked to nearly all U.S. workers.

    A federal judge has ruled that Elon Musk's DOGE is wielding so much power that its records will likely have to be opened to the public under federal law.

    U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper said the "unprecedented" authority and "unusual secrecy" of DOGE warrant the urgent release of its internal documents under the Freedom of Information Act. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/10/judge-orders-doge-record-release-00223151

    Isabella gave her all to serve her country—until she was illegally, unjustly fired.

    Please listen to her story. I am fighting for Isabella and for federal workers across the country—these firings cannot stand.

    The Trump Admin is closing six regional HHS General Counsel offices, including in Chicago, that ensure Americans are protected at nursing homes, hospitals, and in Head Start and other HHS programs.

    How exactly does this Make America Healthy Again?

    USPS to cut 10,000 workers through voluntary early retirement program

    By Scott MacFarlane, Ed O'Keefe, Arden Farhi

    Updated on: March 13, 2025 / 7:16 PM EDT / CBS News

    Postmaster General Louis DeJoy told Congress in a letter Thursday that the USPS aims to eliminate 10,000 jobs using a voluntary early retirement program over the next 30 days to reduce costs at the financially strapped U.S. Postal Service.

    The USPS employs roughly 635,000 people. The retirement program was announced on Jan. 13.

    DeJoy also confirmed that the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency, also known as DOGE, is now working with USPS.

    "Last night I signed an agreement with the General Services Administration and DOGE representatives to assist us in identifying and achieving further efficiencies," he wrote.

    The move is "seen as a way of making DOGE happy," one person familiar with the plans tells CBS News.

    DeJoy first met with DOGE representatives on Monday, this person said.

    In the letter, DeJoy said DOGE would look into a handful of subjects including the Postal Regulatory Commission, which has oversight over the Postal Service. DeJoy called the commission "an unnecessary agency that has inflicted over $50 billion in damage to the Postal Service."

    In a statement responding to DeJoy, the commission called the postmaster general's comments "false."

    "The Commission follows the law to ensure that USPS provides universal service to all Americans, including those in rural and remote locations, and also safeguards fair competition in package markets by preventing the Postal Service from abusing its monopoly position," the commission said.

    The National Nuclear Security Administration that manages the nation’s 3,748 nuclear bombs and warheads "has lost a huge cadre of scientists, engineers, safety experts, project officers, and other key staff in the past six weeks. Many who left held a top-secret security clearance, called Q, that gave them access to information about how nuclear weapons are designed, produced and used.

    With Gleason in place, Musk would be potentially shielded from some legal responsibility and questions about conflicts, experts say.

    One person who has been in meetings with Gleason said, “I get the sense that Amy is in the role of scapegoat.”
