At a time when the White House is explicitly hostile toward career government experts, it's clear that federal workers need more effective, independent channels for constructively criticizing policy decisions and need better protections for expressing policy dissent.

Key Points: 
  • At a time when the White House is explicitly hostile toward career government experts, it's clear that federal workers need more effective, independent channels for constructively criticizing policy decisions and need better protections for expressing policy dissent.
  • With improvements, dissent channels would offer a much-needed protected avenue for government experts to weigh in on policy matters.
  • The White House must also embrace dissent and encourage agency leaders to do the same, and Congress should strengthen protections for federal workers who voice their concerns through dissent channels and in other ways.
  • "The federal government needs more robust systems to encourage federal workers to raise concerns about policy decisions," said Nick Schwellenbach, senior investigator at POGO.
