DOGE v. Public Health

🔴 UPDATE: April 1, 2025
Trump Regime Fires 10,000 Health Workers in Single Day, Crippling Nation’s Disease and Drug Safety Agencies

In one of the largest targeted government purges in U.S. history, the Trump administration has fired 10,000 employees across the Department of Health and Human Services—including entire divisions of the CDC, FDA, NIH, and CMS. This isn’t reform. It’s demolition. The infrastructure that protects Americans from deadly outbreaks, unsafe food and drugs, and rising healthcare costs is being gutted in a single stroke.

This is not cost-cutting. It’s regime change.

Key Developments:

• FDA (3,500 laid off) – Food safety, drug approval, and tobacco regulation teams decimated. Programs overseeing cancer drugs, opioid safety, and clinical trials are paralyzed.

• CDC (2,400 laid off) – Programs on asthma, STDs, gun violence, and occupational health gutted. CDC regional offices in multiple states closed.
  (Sources: NPR, AP News)

• NIH (1,200 laid off) – Entire research teams in cancer, HIV/AIDS, and gene therapy eliminated.
  (Sources: AP News, Axios)

• CMS (300 laid off) – Medicaid/Medicare support teams slashed. Long-term care oversight weakened.
  (Sources: Reuters, NPR)

• Leadership Purge – Dozens of top-level career scientists and administrators forcibly removed. Some escorted out by security. No severance. No appeals.
  (Sources: Axios, NPR)

• Sudden Execution – Career staffers were given little to no warning. Many were escorted out the same day, with no indication of who—if anyone—would replace them.

The Real Story: Who Wins and Who Pays the Price?

This is a payday for the oligarchs and private health profiteers. The fewer regulators watching, the more poison they can pump into our food, our medicine, and our air—unnoticed, unchallenged, and unpunished.

Meanwhile, it’s working families who lose. Parents with asthmatic kids. Seniors relying on safe medication. Cancer patients in clinical trials. Every American who expects their government to protect them from preventable harm is now on their own.

This is how fascism works: dismantle the safeguards, eliminate the experts, and flood the system with fear and confusion.

🔍 Why This Matters:

The Trump regime isn’t just attacking individual agencies—it’s systematically stripping America of its ability to govern itself, to respond to health crises, to regulate the powerful, and to protect the public from harm.

The Department of Government Extinction just took a sledgehammer to the country’s health defenses. And once those systems collapse, the only protection left will be for those who can afford it.

🚨 The Bottom Line:

This wasn’t budget discipline—it was ideological warfare. Ten thousand experts fired, thousands of lives endangered, and the scaffolding of public health torn down.

This is the next phase of Trump’s authoritarian project: silence the scientists, crush the institutions, and leave the American people defenseless—while the robber barons feast.
