Yes they did. It was literally a program for basically everyone who wasn’t a white guy.

That’s interesting that dod scientists are still feds. I work in doe land as a contractor and was always a little jealous of earlier employees because of the pension (I think most doe scientists where transitioned to contractor status in the early 2000s).
I also agree that there are millions of ways we could save money, but that management explicitly prohibits for a combination of legal and protecting managements jobs reasons.
As for DEI stuff, I think it was a little worse (no where near as bad as what you got in universities), for example there was a grant program that would funds to get an intern (if the intern was a women or minority), while our normal internship program required (which doesn’t discriminate based on race or gender) required me to fund any interns I hired. A full time intern can easily cost 30-60k so this a huge inducement. As someone who recently came out of college (and worked hard to get internships), I acutely how it felt to be explicitly excluded from these and other opportunities.
I don’t think trying to impeach judges is a good idea either although I also think this is a fairly obvious political response to the dems and the others in the senate who constantly tried to push Supreme Court reform which was basically just designed to give congress the ability to oversee recusal decisions: https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/926/text
