Nurses,all staff had no access to her digital records, everything was being done the old fashioned way with phones and paper.It was a disaster for them and made things more painful for us. I can’t imagine everywhere going down

“Pretty soon, within the next couple of weeks, everything regarding IT and cyber at the department will start to operationally reach a point of no return,” one source, who was part of a team that managed these systems at HHS for a decade before being part of the RIF, alleges to WIRED.

Everyone knows they professionally understaff agencies, for decades.. what these insurrectionists are doing is making room for carefully-vetted anti-DEI hires who'll enforce bias/hate (quiet or loud) as often as they can. Can't wait to watch "blue wave" DNC do almost nothing, later!
