In a stmnt on Monday, the #Trump admin said it was examining ~$256M in contracts, as well as another $8.7B in what it described as “multiyear grant commitments.”

“While #Harvard’s recent actions to curb institutionalized *antisemitism*—though long overdue—are welcome, there is much more that the university must do to retain the privilege of receiving federal taxpayers’ hard-earned dollars,” Josh Gruenbaum, a snr ofcl at the #GSA, said.

…The WH is the latest govt property on which #Starlink now operates.

In recent weeks, Starlink was also set up at the #GSA, which has served as a hub for #Musk’s government-shrinking efforts…

While several #FederalAgencies contract w/Starlink, the satellite service is typically used to provide internet access in emergency situations & to remote locations — not at federal buildings in DC, which already have ample internet options.

A Sensitive Complex Housing a CIA Facility Was on GSA's List of US Properties for Sale

Plans to redevelop a Northern #Virginia warehouse site have long been complicated by the area’s worst-kept secret—the presence of a CIA facility. The #GSA put the site up for sale anyway.

“The GSA’s effort to sell hundreds of US #government properties is part of... Elon Musk’s so-called #Doge...

some of the buildings identified house classified #CIA space"

Building Staff Canned At Phoenix Federal Courthouse
https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/building-staff-caned-at-phoenix-federal-courthouse

"The GSA is currently controlled by #DOGE...

The #Phoenix courthouse houses the #judicial branch mostly. But the #GSA is still in charge of running the building. So court staff were surprised earlier this week when they found out that all the GSA employees who run the building had been fired. None of the judicial offices... had been notified."

The culling of #GSA’s #18F in particular, a specialized #digital services agency tasked w/improving #user experience w/govt services & helping #FederalAgencies build & buy a variety of #tech, has crippled programs that silently but effectively prepared Americans for #weather #disasters or streamlined tasks, like renewing a #passport or filing #taxes. Over the wknd, ~90 technologists at 18F were fired via surprise email that went out shortly before 1AM ET on Sat morning.

Since #ElonMusk’s so-called #DOGE took over important govt #technology teams within the #GSA & what was formally known as the #USDS, around 200 technologists have either resigned or been fired, jeopardizing around a decade’s worth of work dedicated to everything from #PublicHealth to #passport applications.

DOGE moves to cancel #NOAA leases on key weather buildings
https://www.axios.com/2025/03/03/doge-noaa-weather-building-leases-trump

"One of the buildings is the nerve center for generating national #weather forecasts.

It was designed to integrate multiple #forecasting centers in one building to improve operating #efficiency. It houses telecommunications equipment to send weather #data & forecasts across the #US & abroad...

Elon Musk's #DOGE has been working through the #GSA to cancel #government leases"

"The credit card program allows federal workers to bypass the typical procurement process required to buy goods and services. A 2002 report from the Department of #Commerce said that, “by avoiding the formal procurement process, #GSA estimates the annual savings to be $1.2 billion.” It also enables federal employees to avoid paying sales tax on expenses that the #government is exempt from."
https://www.wired.com/story/doge-elon-musk-spending-cuts-federal-workers/

In a separate memo sent to staff on Monday, Johnson told employees the #GSA - a separate agency that handles leases across the federal govt - has decided to terminate the SEC's leases for its #LosAngeles & #Philadelphia offices.

GSA has also notified #DOGE of a plan to cancel the #Chicago office's lease, but #SEC said terms of that agreement do not allow for a unilateral move "without significant financial penalties", acc/to the March 3 memo seen by Reuters.

In an email to workers at the agency’s #Technology Transformation Services, Thomas Shedd, a fmr #Tesla engineer who is now the division’s dir, said that #18F had been identified as noncritical & would be cut.

“This decision was made with explicit direction from the top levels of leadership within both the administration & #GSA,” Shedd said in the email…. He added that while no other #TTS programs had been affected, “we anticipate more change in the future.”

‘It Feels Like It’s Chaotic on Purpose’

Elon Musk’s Dept of Govt Efficiency laid off a team whose purpose was to make the #government more efficient.
https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2025/03/doge-elon-musk-18f-elimination-efficiency/681894/

"Late #Friday night, the #Trump admn, as part of its push to modernize the govt with #software, laid off roughly 90 people from the General Services Admn—all federal technologists whose role was to **modernize the govt with software."**

GSA shutters 18F, possibly leaving agencies in the lurch

On early Saturday morning, the General Services Administration eliminated the program.

"18F workers appear to have lost access to their #government email accounts immediately after Shedd’s announcement, which was sent around 1am. Employees then began calling each other in the middle of the night to discuss the news."
