Today federal workers nationwide are calling for support for a "Save Our Services Day of Action" mobilizing nationwide in opposition to Elon Musk's efforts to dismantle government agencies through the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. Workers plan to protest outside of federal buildings and Tesla dealerships to show support for the work of federal agencies. "It's not just about federal workers," says Eric Blanc, author and assistant professor of labor studies at Rutgers University. "If they take out the federal unions, that's our best block right now against Trump's authoritarian power grab." This comes as Musk has gained access to the sensitive information of millions of Americans, all the while laying off government workers en masse. The layoffs have affected the FAA, NIH, IRS and more.

A new study projects as many as 20 million people could lose Medicaid coverage under a Republican congressional bill to cut the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion match rate. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities found the bill includes tax cuts for the wealthy and businesses, paired with cuts on the programs that support low-income Americans. "There is a direct link between their desire to extend very expensive tax cuts for very wealthy people and the cuts they are putting on the table that will take health coverage and food assistance away from people that struggle to afford the basics," says Sharon Parrott, president of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
