Summary

The Trump administration’s federal workforce cuts have reached the FDA, with employees in food safety, medical devices, and tobacco oversight being fired.

The exact number is unclear, but the layoffs are part of a broader Health and Human Services plan to eliminate 5,200 jobs.

Critics warn the firings will weaken oversight and innovation, especially as the FDA struggles with staffing shortages.

Former officials argue the cuts will demoralize employees and hinder recruitment. The agency also faces a backlog of uninspected drug facilities.

Google Calendar users noticed that references to Hispanic Heritage Month, Pride Month, Jewish American Heritage Month and Holocaust Remembrance Day had all disappeared.

The Calendar controversy followed decisions by Google and Apple to change the Gulf of Mexico’s name to Gulf of America in their map applications after Mr. Trump ordered the name change.

Summary

The Trump administration abruptly fired up to 350 National Nuclear Security Administration employees as part of a broader Department of Energy workforce purge led by Elon Musk’s DOGE.

The cuts, which heavily impacted nuclear weapons and waste management staff, sparked backlash from experts and lawmakers.

By Friday, all but 28 firings were rescinded.

Critics warn that such instability threatens national security and nuclear modernization efforts. Some reinstated employees remain uncertain about returning, fearing future disruptions.
