More than 20 federal techies quit to protest DOGE cuts to ‘critical public services’

Nearly two dozen federal techies working on the Department of Government Efficiency’s spending cuts resigned Tuesday, accusing Elon Musk of trying to “dismantle critical public services.”

The 21 staffers, who were engineers, data scientists and product managers at US Digital Service, said in a resignation letter obtained by The Associated Press that they felt they could no longer in good conscience carry out some of DOGE’s objectives.
