>20 #CivilService employees resigned from billionaire #Trump adviser #ElonMusk’s DOGE, saying they would not use their technical expertise to “dismantle critical public services.”
“We swore to serve the American people & uphold our oath to the #Constitution across presidential administrations,” the 21 staffers wrote in a joint #resignation letter, a copy of which was obtained by AP. “However, it has become clear that we can no longer honor those commitments.”

@Nonilex I just saw an important correction to this: These were not DOGE employees, they were US Digital Service (USDS) employees who refused to help DOGE. See the post below from someone who seems to know. He says the USDS employee he's known have all wanted to provide government services to help citizens.
Correct. Unfortunately DOGE took over USDS. So USDS is now DOGE. But it is correct that these civil servants were originally USDS employees.
