Workforce Watch Ep. 4: Massive Federal Shakeup: State Dept Lays Off 1,350, SCOTUS Greenlights Cuts, Retirements Surge & Healthcare Jobs at Risk
This week’s episode is a full-on gut check. From 1,350 layoffs at the State Department to the Supreme Court greenlighting Education and HHS cuts, it’s clear that public service stability is unraveling in real time. I break down what’s happening inside federal agencies—from the DOJ walkouts and the climate data disappearing from government sites to the troubling rise of AI military contracts.
We also spotlight the fired feds who are fighting back by running for office, and I take a moment to reflect on the economic dangers of slashing Medicaid during a healthcare workforce crisis.
🎧 Listen while you sip your cafecito, take a walk, or try to stay grounded in this chaotic landscape.
🎶 Personal rec: I've been soothing my spirit with ‘90s alt-rock and Spanish rock—Tragic Kingdom is still elite.
📝 Also peep my latest Substack post: What If God Was One of Us?—a deep dive into spirituality, politics, and rage alchemy.
