"I Do Solemnly Swear": Federal Workers Speak Out Against DOGE

A new audio series published by the group Federal Workers Against DOGE looks at the plight of fired federal workers whose jobs and careers were cut short by the Trump administration’s systematic defunding of government services in favor of tax cuts for the wealthy and the reallotment of resources to anti-immigration enforcement. I Do Solemnly Swear, co-created and directed by filmmaker Laura Nix, features interviews with current and former employees of federal agencies including the FAA, CDC, EPA, IRS and more. “I felt it was very important to focus on not just the illegality of the firings, but the impact on Americans,” says Nix. “We’ve depended for a very long time [on] these benefits, the safety of our highways, our water, our airspace, [but] we’re learning that these are all being taken away.”

(From the video)

"FAA worker describing the FAA regulations being removed.
'You know, we say at the FAA that our rules are written in blood. And what that means is every rule that we have to regulate air traffic control and pilots, every single one of those was created because there was a disaster and people died.
We have people coming into the FAA now saying they know a better way to do it when they don't even know why FAA does things the way it does.'"

It's probably inevitable that people are going to die because FAA regulations are being removed, and that's only a small part of the damage that Shitler has done with DOGE in order to "cut out waste in the federal government."

(In my opinion, that orange, evil, heartless ignoramus might actually be worse than Hitler)
