>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.”

Correct. Unfortunately DOGE took over USDS. So USDS is now DOGE. But it is correct that these civil servants were originally USDS employees.
