Sam Stein: Absolute BLOODBATH at HHS/NIH/CDC

ImgFlip

Remember back when candidate Donald Trump said there'd be a bloodbath in the American auto industry if Joe Biden were reelected? The media turned an out-of-context clip into a week-long news cycle about how Trump had promised a "bloodbath" if he lost. See, he's inciting his supporters to violence.

The Bulwark's Sam Stein is bringing back "bloodbath" in reporting on mass layoffs at the FDA, CDC, and other U.S. health agencies. 

Stein's not the first to go with this take. The Daily Mail reported on the "bloodbath" at USAID back in February."Traumatized USAID worker who survived DOGE bloodbath describes horror of watching everyone get fired," they wrote.

Reuters reports:

The Trump administration began mass layoffs of 10,000 staffers at U.S. health agencies on Tuesday, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation, with security guards barring entry to some employees just hours after they received dismissal notices.

The cuts, which affect several high-profile agencies under the Department of Health and Human Services, including the FDA, CDC and National Institutes of Health, are part of a broad plan by President Donald Trump and billionaire ally Elon Musk to shrink the federal government and slash spending.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has described the cuts, which combined with other recent departures will reduce total headcount to 62,000 from 82,000, as essential to streamlining a bloated bureaucracy.

However, they have included the ouster of top scientists overseeing public health, cancer research and vaccine and drug approvals, raising concerns about how the U.S. will respond to health emergencies, such as the ongoing measles outbreak and spreading bird flu.

"Top scientists." Stein writes, "Multiple officials who work in the department told The Bulwark that entire offices were being eliminated. Much of the focus appeared to be on the administrative side of things."

The highlighted part of that story says that the department's leadership targeted "positions in human resources, procurement, finance, and information technology."

Democrats and the Never Trumpers at The Bulwark will tell you the federal government is too large, but they also seem to think that once hired, a federal employee is employed for life at the taxpayer's expense.

You mean it's not literally a bloodbath? Is it only when Trump says it?

"That today happened to be April Fools was treated as a nice little sadistic touch," Stein adds. It's like that National Park Ranger who lost his dream job on Valentine's Day.
