Trump administration wants to un-fire nuclear safety workers but can’t figure out how to reach them

The individuals, who work in an agency that oversees the nation's nuclear stockpile, had been fired on Thursday and lost access to their federal government email accounts.

National Nuclear Security Administration officials on Friday attempted to notify some employees who had been let go the day before that they are now due to be reinstated — but they struggled to find them because they didn't have their new contact information.

In an email sent to employees at NNSA and obtained by NBC News, officials wrote, “The termination letters for some NNSA probationary employees are being rescinded, but we do not have a good way to get in touch with those personnel.”

The individuals the letter refers to had been fired on Thursday and lost access to their federal government email accounts. NNSA, which is within the Department of Energy and oversees the nation's nuclear stockpile, cannot reach these employees directly and is now asking recipients of the email, “Please work with your supervisors to send this information (once you get it) to people’s personal contact emails.”…

… The NNSA is tasked with designing, building and overseeing the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile.

You know that when he quotes Napoleon, he’s really lost the plot.

Billionaire Elon Musk's role in the Trump administration is as a White House employee and senior adviser to the president, and is not an employee of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and has no decision-making authority, the White House said in a court filing on Monday.

According to a filing signed by Joshua Fisher, director of the Office of Administration at the White House, Musk can only advise the president and communicate the president's directives.

"Like other senior White House advisors, Mr Musk has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself," it said.

Fisher's filing, made in a case brought against Musk by the State of New Mexico, said that Musk was not an employee of the U.S. DOGE Service, or the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization, and added: "Mr Musk is not the U.S. DOGE Service Administrator."

Interesting…

I wonder if this tale is becoming more of a reality, The Cold Cash War. Or any of the other "futures" where businesses get more power than governments at actual governmental level.

The United States Department of Agriculture on Tuesday said that, over the weekend, it accidentally fired "several" agency employees who are working on the federal government's response to the H5N1 avian flu outbreak.

In a statement, the agency said it is trying to quickly reverse the firings.

"Although several positions supporting [bird flu efforts] were notified of their terminations over the weekend, we are working to swiftly rectify the situation and rescind those letters," a USDA spokesperson said in a statement. "USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service frontline positions are considered public safety positions, and we are continuing to hire the workforce necessary to ensure the safety and adequate supply of food to fulfill our statutory mission."

Re: President Trump 2.0

Trump's latest attack on Zelensky shows he lives in cloud cuckoo land. Trying to call Zelensky a dictator as his presidency ended last May. However with the martial law ongoing all voting ceased. Also that he has done a terrible job as his country is shattered and apparently millions died unnecessarily.

Suggests to me Trump wants Ukraine to rollover and just given in to Putin's Russian invasion.

Some serious projection going on there. He's also said Zelensky has a 4% approval rating in Ukraine, it's actually in the high 50's, something Trump would give an orange arm or leg for.
