The CDC became the latest government organization to suffer Trump’s from federal worker layoffs as dozens of employees, including entire departments, were gutted in a Friday night “massacre.”

“America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity.”

Furthermore, the immediacy of the layoffs goes against rules for such a procedure. Employees subject to an RIF must receive written notice 60 days in advance.

Labor unions sued Vought for violations of the Antideficiency Act in September when federal layoffs during the shutdown were first being floated.

There is no precedent or stated benefit of laying off federal workers during a government shutdown, contrary to the words of Vice President JD Vance, who claimed layoffs were “necessary.”
