"A second confirmed case of #ElonMusk’s DOGE team accidentally firing critical government workers is leaving egg on the president’s face.
"NBC’s report revealing that officials at the Department of Agriculture (#USDA) working on the federal efforts to halt the spread of bird flu at poultry and dairy farms comes at a poor time for the administration. #EggPrices are skyrocketing as the culling of millions of chickens — implemented by the USDA to halt the disease in farms where it is discovered — has caused shortages.
"The agency expects prices to jump another 20 percent this year.
"But a spokesperson for the USDA on Tuesday was forced to admit to reporters that Elon Musk’s DOGE initiative has already hindered the agency’s efforts. 'Several' employees critical to the agency’s bird flu response efforts were laid off by order of DOGE staffers, according to the USDA, only for the layoffs to be rescinded after the necessity of the axed positions was explained to Musk’s team."
