‘Catastrophic threat’ to startup of massive Hanford nuclear cleanup plant rumored

Rumors were flying Monday that the future of radioactive waste treatment at Hanford’s massive vitrification plant might undergo a major change.

The Energy Communities Alliance, relying on reporting by E&E News by Politico, said that Roger Jarrell had been fired Monday from his position of principal deputy assistant secretary of the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management.

That agency oversees environmental cleanup of the Hanford nuclear site in Eastern Washington from Washington, D.C.

DOE is currently required under a federal court consent decree to start showing by Oct. 15 that it can turn some of the 56 million gallons of radioactive waste in underground tanks into a stable, but still radioactive, glass form at the Hanford Waste Treatment Plant, or vitrification plant. The plant has been under construction for 23 years.

“I think they want to kill (the Waste Treatment Plant) altogether, even though it’s (close to being operational),” EandE News quoted the anonymous source as saying.

'This is a developing nationwide disruption,' the FAA said in a bulletin, confirming technicians were still investigating the cause of the breakdown, which affected radar, radio, and approach systems - the core tools of airport coordination.

The FAA said the issue was an example of its outdated infrastructure and urged the modernization of its systems.

"Moving from aging, analog systems to more resilient, digital technology is critical to maintaining the reliability and resiliency of the national airspace system," the FAA said.

Further, the FAA specified that Friday's "disruption" was caused by "multiple failures" from Frontier Communications and oversight by FAA contractor L3 Harris.

In response to the FAA's statement, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy posted on X that he and President Trump would "make disruptions like these a thing of the past."

Trump administration rehires hundreds of federal employees laid off by DOGE

Hundreds of federal employees who lost their jobs in Elon Musk’s cost-cutting blitz are being asked to return to work.

Those who accept must report for duty on October 6 after what amounts to a seven-month paid vacation, during which time the GSA in some cases racked up high costs — passed along to taxpayers — to stay in dozens of properties whose leases it had slated for termination or were allowed to expire.

“Ultimately, the outcome was the agency was left broken and understaffed,” said Chad Becker, a former GSA real estate official. “They didn’t have the people they needed to carry out basic functions.”

Its return to work request mirrors rehiring efforts at ... several agencies targeted by DOGE. Last month, the IRS said it would allow some employees who took a resignation offer to remain on the job. The Labor Department has also brought back some employees who took buyouts, while the National Park Service earlier reinstated a number of purged employees.

A small cohort of Musk’s trusted aides embedded in GSA’s headquarters, sometimes sleeping on cots on the agency’s sixth floor, and pursued plans to abruptly cancel nearly half of the 7,500 leases in the federal portfolio. [many of these decisions were rolled back]

DOGE’s “Wall of Receipts,” which once boasted that the lease cancellations alone would save nearly $460 million, has since reduced that estimate to $140 million by the end of July, according to Becker, the former GSA real estate official.

[But at least there were some savings, right?]

As a result of the internal turmoil, 131 leases expired without the government actually vacating the properties, the official said. The situation has exposed the agencies to steep fees because property owners have not been able to rent out those spaces to other tenants.

A judge ruled their firings were illegal. The government got to do it anyway

On Sept. 12, U.S. District Judge William Alsup issued his final decision in a case challenging the Trump administration's mass firings of probationary employees, mostly those in their first year or two on the job.

In a 38-page order, Alsup wrote that the terminations, dating back to February, were unlawful. But he stopped short of requiring the government to reinstate workers. It was clear to him, he explained, that the Supreme Court would overrule such relief given recent decisions the court had issued on related matters. He also wrote that too much time had passed.

While the relief Alsup ordered fell far short of what Beck, the fisheries biologist, had hoped for, she is glad that he has ordered agencies to make clear, in official paperwork and letters to fired employees, that their terminations had nothing to do with their performance.

The letters [ordered by the judge from earlier stages of the case], indeed, say that she was not terminated because of her performance. The letters also say that the government is only providing such notice due to a court order, and that the government believes the order is "legally and factually erroneous" and therefore is appealing it.

This time, Alsup has given federal agencies until Nov. 14 to reissue the letters, without all the disclaimers.

National Weather Service at ‘breaking point’ as storm approaches

The agency is struggling to maintain its weather forecasting operations due to significant staffing cuts.

Trump admin is ‘trying to put out a fire they started’ at Weather Service as a cold, snowy winter looms

The National Weather Service is working to hire back hundreds of positions laid off or otherwise cut by the Trump administration, but it’s progressing at a snail’s pace, with about 80 final job offers accepted for meteorologists, hydrologists and other specialized staff.

The agency received permission in late July to add a total of 450 people after about 550 were cut by DOGE earlier this year. The decision to authorize new hires came after lawmakers and citizens expressed concerns about how the NWS cuts would impact public safety.

The slow hiring means the Weather Service is going into yet another critical storm season with more than a dozen forecast offices forced to get by with serious staff vacancies, potentially undermining the accuracy of forecasts and warnings during powerful winter storms.

There is still one forecast office, located in Hanford, Calif., that is too short on staffing to operate 24/7, according to a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) official who requested anonymity for fear of retribution.

Right now, there are nine NWS offices that are launching balloons at a cadence of once per day, the NOAA official said. [instead of the usual 2]

Judge says Kari Lake’s tenure atop US media agency was improper, voids actions as ‘acting CEO’

U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth concluded that her ascension was an illegal end-run around the Senate’s advice and consent role.

U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth concluded that Lake was ineligible to serveas USAGM’s acting CEO when she was formally elevated to the position on July 31 in an “acting capacity” and without Senate confirmation. She relinquished that position on Nov. 19.

Lamberth said any actions Lake took in that four-month timeframe must be treated as “void,” including an Aug. 29 reduction in USAGM’s workforce.

In a statement, Patsy Widakuswara, Kate Neeper and Jessica Jerreat, the named plaintiffs in the lawsuit against Lake, said they were “vindicated and deeply grateful.”

“The judge’s ruling that Kari Lake’s actions shall have no force or effect is a powerful step toward undoing the damage she has inflicted on this American institution that we love,” they said. “Even as we work through what this ruling means for colleagues harmed by her actions, it brings renewed hope and momentum to the next phase of our fight: restoring VOA’s global operations and ensuring we continue to produce journalism, not propaganda.”

Judge orders 1,000 Voice of America staffers back to work in rebuke to Kari Lake

A federal judge ordered the parent agency of the Voice of America to return the network's 1,042 full-time employees who had been put on leave back to work by Monday, ruling that Trump administration official Kari Lake's efforts to dismantle the news outlet were "arbitrary and capricious."

He continued, "The effect of the defendants' action has been to keep USAGM employees on administrative leave despite Congress' repeated appropriations at levels indicating a clear intent to maintain substantial broadcast operations.

A bipartisan group of lawmakers appropriated $643 million toward the agency earlier this year, specifying allocations for Voice of America and the other international networks the agency funds. Lake had asked for $153 million — only enough money to wind down the network and the agency.

U.S. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth last month ruled that Lake had unlawfully taken on almost all powers of the chief executive of the network's federal parent, called the U.S. Agency for Global Media, and therefore that her actions since joining as senior adviser to the agency were invalid.

The Voice of America was established at the outset of World War II to counter Nazi propaganda in occupied regions. It provided news of Allied defeats as well as their victories to earn credibility.

‘Proactively fall in line’: Holocaust Memorial Museum quietly changed content after Trump returned to office

In the first year of President Donald Trump’s second term, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington quietly removed from its website educational resources about American racism and canceled a workshop about the “fragility of democracy.”

The changes, which have not been previously reported, came as Trump cracked down on what he called “corrosive ideology” at the Smithsonian Institution, demanding a slew of alterations at the world’s largest museum network to more closely align its content with his worldview. They also coincided with the administration’s efforts to remove content related to diversity, equity and inclusion from federal websites.

The museum pulled from its website a page called “Teaching Materials on Nazism and Jim Crow” at some point after Aug. 29, 2025, the last time the page was captured on the Internet Archive. That page provided lesson plans and resources about the connections between American de jure racism and the Nazi regime, including links to sites about “African American Soldiers during World War II” and “Afro-Germans during the Holocaust,” among other topics.

Leaders at the museum also renamed a one-day civic education workshop designed for college students from “Fragility of Democracy and the Rise of the Nazis” to “Before the Holocaust: German Society and the Nazi Rise to Power.” In an email, obtained by POLITICO, between a senior staff member at the museum’s Levine Institute for Holocaust Education and a staffer planning the workshop, the senior staff member said the change was necessary due to “concerns regarding how the term fragility may be perceived or interpreted in the current climate.”

Education Department launches hiring spree in key office, roughly a year after mass layoffs

The Federal Student Aid office plans to hire 334 full-time employees by 2027, despite staffing cuts last year and efforts to send the department’s work to other agencies.

The Education Department’s Federal Student Aid office saw some of the most significant staffing cuts at the agency last March during the administration’s government-wide reduction in force. Now, that same office is trying to hire 334 full-time employees by 2027 — a 45 percent increase from its staffing levels as of last month — according to the presentation delivered to FSA staff in mid-April.

“I’m glad they’re recognizing that they need additional help and that they went too far. It underscores how reckless and irresponsible the original decision to lay off half the staff was,” said James Kvaal, who was Education undersecretary during the Biden administration. “I hope as they’re bringing people back, they are being more careful and thoughtful of getting the right people to meet their needs than they were when they were laying people off.”

Like FEMA, it's been difficult to get rid of DoEd as promised.

Kari Lake nomination faces questions over Billboard awards claim

The U.S. State Department has posted that Kari Lake “is proud to have won two Billboard Music Awards.” That’s not a credential typically highlighted in a political bio, so we checked.

Billboard maintains a database of past winners. A search for “Kari Lake” does not show her as a Billboard Music Awards winner.

We asked the State Department if there was something we missed—and how the claim relates to qualifications for ambassador to Jamaica. A spokesperson referred us to a song titled “81 Million Votes My [Butt],” a single Lake released in 2023 with a group called “The Truth Bombers.”

We found no evidence that The Truth Bombers won a Billboard Music Award.
