DOGE Strikes Again: Staffers at This Federal Agency Were Just Placed on Leave(AMERI-CORPS)

Townhall.com ^

[DIRTYSECRET]

Agency staff at AmeriCorps received notices this week that they were being placed on leave "effective immediately."

“During the period that you are on administrative leave you are not to enter AmeriCorps premises, access AmeriCorps systems, or attempt to use your position or authority with AmeriCorps.

Bill Clinton's Peace Corps(domestic). Brought out his inner JFK. The Peace Corps turned it's people into lifelong democrats while AmeriCorps brought middle class youth to see inner cities so they wouldn't feel so guilty about their 'privilege'. Meant to stick for a lifetime. I watched them play it out on the news. Sickening.

Coerced Volunteerism-Newt.

[Resolute Conservative]

Winning!

[DIRTYSECRET]

Let’s hope for it’s complete disappearance so that he next rat POTUS can’t grow it back.

Americorpse is another dem boondoggle we could lose.

[SpaceBar]

Death by a thousand government nipples.

great, another worthless organization.

[T-Bird45]

And the line to file for a TRO thru the DC federal district court just grew longer.

[wildcard_redneck]

Just another leftist Democrat slush fund where they accept only leftists to be federally paid "volunteers for communism."

The media and democrats were distracted by “Maryland man”, while DOGE continued to cut the fat in DC!

Get rid of it. It was always a program to make social activists out of young liberal people.

“The work we perform for the American public is vital and we’ve now been stripped of our ability to do that,” said an AmeriCorps employee placed on leave.

So I checked the Brave AI, their Wiki entry, and their website home page and I still don't have a clue as to what vital services they actually perform. Lots of bafflegab such as:

AmeriCorps is a federal agency that engages Americans in service to improve lives, strengthen communities, and foster civic engagement through service and volunteering.

Uh...OK, Kamala. Apparently the service they perform is engagement through service and volunteering. Very helpful. The member they quoted clarifies:

“I worry about the impact that this will have on grantees, members, and volunteers who have committed themselves to providing service for Americans.”

Whatever it is, it's vital. Good to know.

Shut down the remote access. It would be their time working from home.

[Zathras]

Yep!
The fake job program created by Bill never created any worthwhile jobs.
To this day I’m not sure what they have been doing.

[Jumper]

Kinda like that community organizer.

[Zathras]

I poked around your links.
As I suspected, there didn’t seem to be a single REAL long term job anywhere to be found.
Thanks!

Bafflegab

Perfect one word summation of much Leftist spew. I shall endeavor to use it more.

I’m sure there’s a lot of positive fluff written about Americorps, as there was for communism. Good riddance to both.

I remember a letter to the editor published in the Wall St. Journal. The author went into the Peace Corps. Some of his friends went to work at GM and they did very well. He came back from the Peace Corps and thought he should be compensated at their level.

It seems like everyone on the left has too high an opinion of themselves and their ideology. Thomas Sowell refers to “the vision of the Annointed.” Perhaps if these people worked a real job, some would come to like and respect average Americans.
