A podcast for former feds who got the fork out of government service. In 2025, hosts and former FBI intelligence analysts Jill and Philip Fields joined the exodus of public servants leaving federal service under the deferred resignation program. Conflicted over what to do next, they began encountering other recently departed feds fighting to find their voice. They started Forking Off as a platform to lift them up, preserve the public record, and document the destruction of American governance. Join us every Monday as we share their stories.

    Wake the Fork Up

    What the fork!? It's only been a year? This feels more like a post-mortem on the American Experiment than a year-end review. Yes, we're celebrating the fact that we survived an entire year of the second Trump administration's assault on democracy, but we're also bracing for the next three. Last year, we watched as USAID was decimated; domestic terrorists were pardoned; and truth was flipped on its head. This year, we're getting civically fit while embracing the reality that nobody is coming to save us. It's time to wake up, shake off our bias, weigh the facts, challenge authority, resist conformity, and demand accountability. It's time to go forth and do great things. We're not just doing pep talks though. We're sharing tools that everyone can use to navigate this new information environment and build more resilient institutions. Let's start by putting a label on what's really been happening to American society for the last year. The term that came to define Germany in the 1930s, Gleichshaltung loosely translates to synchronization or coordination, but the English language does little to capture it's ambition. Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels' vision was synchronization "to the point where the whole nation will think in unison and there will be only one public opinion." It sounds alarmist to describe 2025 with such similarity to German Nazification, but the parallels are undeniable. The reservation comes from the first bias we must address, if we wish to remain a free society. Normalcy bias is often described as a cognitive bias that manifests as a tendency to underestimate the possibility of disaster, believing life will continue as normal, even in the face of overwhelming threats. Let's say it together. The threat is overwhelming. So, who's going to stop it? This leads us to our next bias. The Bystander Effect is a type of cognitive dissonance resulting from the diffusion of responsibility, wherein the more people who are present for an emergency the less likely any one is to intervene. We are seeing this play out across the globe. It's happening on the individual level when law enforcement officers ignore their duty to intervene in the presence of ICE's unchecked abuse of power. It's also happening at the global scale as governments struggle to address the rapid normative shift. Where do we start? The key to challenging the normalization of deviance is learning to spot deception. Even bad lies can greatly disrupt social norms. Identifying techniques to spot deception can make it easier to move forward with confidence. Let's look at a few. MOM: Does the individual have the Motive, Opportunity, and Means to deceive? POP: Is the deception consistent with Past Opposition Practices? MOSES: Is there a concern over the Manipulability of Sources? EVE: What can we learn from the Evaluation of Evidence? When we're told to believe a thing to be true while only being allowed a small subset of facts provided by an administration with a history of deceit, we must proceed with caution. If we can't rely on past sources of information, how can we build resilient institutions? We start by approaching the challenge from a different perspective called outside-in thinking. In addition to sharing the stories of those most closely affected by the administration's assault, we'll also be sharing more tips and practical examples of how we can all build resilience in the coming year.

  2. Philip Fields Sifts Through the Wreckage

    Philip Fields Sifts Through the Wreckage

    The decay didn’t start with the election. The realization the Bureau was too fragile to survive started in the quiet, persistent failures of earlier years. By Election Day 2024, the writing was on the wall. FBI leadership had already surrendered. My initial reaction to "The Fork in the Road" email was visceral. When the email arrived, I hesitated. Twenty years of public service—thirteen as an FBI intelligence analyst—is no small thing to throw away. As my colleagues speculated over the legitimacy of the buyout and the institution crumbled around us, I recalled a friend's departing words from years earlier. They felt like they could do more for the FBI’s mission by not working there. I finally understood. Jill and I looked at our savings, and I weighed the moral cost of staying. Two weeks later and just hours before a federal judge brought the first deferred resignation period to a halt, I walked into a meeting with the head of the Los Angeles Field Office and told him I was leaving. I was hoping for a reason to stay but expecting nothing. I lacked faith in his ability to guide us through the darkness ahead. He sat there quiet and meaningless; a shape without form. Disinterested, unaware, and seemingly unbothered by the storm raging outside his door. He asked for more time; a gesture without motion. I left his office, returned to my desk, and replied ‘resign.’ Four months later, I watched the news in horror as FBI Police placed United States Senator Alex Padilla in handcuffs just down the hall from where we’d met. Senator Padilla was detained for having the audacity to ask a question during a press conference in the FBI Los Angeles Field Office's Luis Flores Conference Room. At the head of the room, the same hollow man who had failed me months earlier stood by silent, a paralyzed force, headpiece filled with straw, leaning together among the rest of the hollow men. His silence was deafening; the irony suffocating. Luis Flores was a Salvadoran immigrant who grew up in a tough Chicago neighborhood, earned a law degree, and became an FBI agent at 26. The room was named to honor his memory. Yet, in that very room, the memory of Luis Flores was desecrated. For the first time in years, I have my voice. I, too, can do more for the FBI's mission from the outside. In a year when over 300,000 employees left federal service, hosting this podcast can feel a bit like The Star Thrower—tossing one sea star at a time amidst the wreckage and debris of life. Yet, there's solace in knowing we’re taking an active role in our strained democracy rather than idly watching its destruction. Maybe we’ll even inspire a few more throwers to join us at the foot of the receding rainbow. We’re also building Ravenwood Intelligence Cooperative where intelligence services are democratized, owned by the members, and driven by ethics and civic virtue rather than shareholders or political agendas. Two distinct paths diverged at the "Fork in the Road." One—a sunlit path crowded with hollow men—laid out clearly what would be expected, and the reward granted the compliant traveler. The other, vacant, bent into the undergrowth of uncertainty. I knew there would be no turning back. That was fine by me. I took the one less traveled. I’m tired of merely watching the destruction. It’s time to build something new. You can connect with Philip on LinkedIn. Learn more about this episode on our website.

  3. Jill Fields Follows Her Moral Compass

    Jill Fields Follows Her Moral Compass

    Growing up, I never considered working for the FBI. To me, the FBI was just special agents kicking in doors, arresting violent criminals, and putting themselves in harm's way. I wanted to help people, but let's face it: guns are scary, and I don't like running. As one of my high school best friends reminded me recently, I drove a pink car and wore bows in my hair. I was not what you think of when you think of FBI employees. In 2012, Philip joined the FBI. His first week on the job, he came home and told me about the Intelligence Analyst job. It was research, analysis, writing, briefing, and no guns or running. It was all the skills I learned as an attorney, but instead of applying those skills to divorces, contract disputes, and real estate deals, I could do something even bigger: protect our nation from terrorists, spies, and violent criminals. After four years of sequestration and hiring freezes, I joined the FBI in May 2016. The first six years, I worked counterterrorism matters, including a joint duty assignment as an FBI Liaison Officer at CIA's Counterterrorism Mission Center. In January of 2022, I became a Supervisory Intelligence Analyst in FBI's Los Angeles field office. I served as the intelligence coordinator for the Violent Crimes program and the Transnational Organized Crimes programs. The Violent Crimes program was not extremely intel-friendly, but I worked hard with my team to find ways to bring value to these programs and to the Intelligence Community. In January 2025, I was selected for a leadership position at our Headquarters in DC. With so much uncertainty and the rapid changes in the FBI's mission and priorities, I chose not to put my family through a cross-country move for a job that might not exist in DC in the near-future. The first half of 2025 was difficult. Going to work every day brought internal turmoil. I was put in charge of projects that I did not believe were morally and ethically sound. My moral compass was spinning. The projects were not what was being presented to the American people. We were not going after the "worst of the worst" or the most heinous criminals. At one point, I was asked to cross the red line. I refused. I was told I could get fired today or fired in four years—meaning I could get fired today for refusing to violate my oath, or I could get fired in four years when another administration is in office and looking at who participated in these violations. I said "Fire me today." They didn't. Instead, my squad was taken away from me. I was moved to a different position within my office and told that this was not a "personnel action." I received the lightly veiled threat that the "7th floor" (FBI executives in DC) knew about me. I was instructed to keep my head down and do as I was told. In May 2025, I took the deferred resignation. The decision came as a shock to most people, myself included. I wrote this in my LinkedIn post last spring announcing my departure from the FBI, and it is still true today: "If I learned anything in the FBI, it is that yes, you can say no. If something is wrong, unjust, or unethical, you speak up, and sometimes speaking up means saying 'no.' But with a no, there also comes a 'yes.' Yes, I will always uphold my oath. Yes, I will always do the right thing. Yes, I will always ask the important questions." You can connect with Jill on LinkedIn. Learn more about this episode on our ⁠⁠website⁠⁠.

  4. Kayla Staph Stays True to Herself

    Kayla Staph Stays True to Herself

    Kayla Staph grew up in a house built on a foundation of loving other others without partiality or discrimination. She comes from a legacy of service, so naturally, she entered into public service when the time came. Kayla started her career as a high school math teacher and coach. She also spent 10 months working with the International Justice Mission combating human trafficking, which opened her eyes to the holistic power of the justice system. In December 2020, Kayla joined the FBI as a special agent. Although she dreamed of investigating Violent Crimes Against Children, the Bureau assigned her to Cyber. Despite barely knowing what an IP address was when she started, Kayla dove into the deep end. She binged on Darknet Diaries and obtained SANS certifications. Before long, she was unmasking cyber criminals, shutting down dark web markets, and stopping terrorists and other national security threats. Kayla loved her mission of protecting the American people from sophisticated threats. That mission changed on January 20, 2025. Kayla watched with dread as the new administration issued sweeping pardons for January 6th defendants—including those convicted of heinous acts of violence against police officers. Days later, she watched as fear spread through the ranks while Acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll fought against efforts to release the names of employees who investigated the Capitol attack. Kayla later detailed that experience in her own words in a guest blog with The Justice Connection. The final straw came after the diversion of FBI resources away from cyber and national security threats to mass deportation efforts. Kayla watched as up to 40% of the FBI's resources in major field offices shifted to civil immigration enforcement. Despite claims the agency was targeting the "worst of the worst," the data showed thousands of operations targeting individuals with no criminal records. The Bureau Kayla loved had fundamentally changed—even removing "Integrity" from its core values at Quantico. She never imagined she would witness such a level of cruelty toward the immigrant population. When asked one day how she responded to sweeping injustice, Kayla wanted to be able to tell her future children a story that would make them proud. Honoring her oath and her own values, Kayla took the second deferred resignation and left the FBI in September 2025. Since leaving, Kayla has been finding her voice and investing in her writing. She also participated in the World Police and Fire Games. Kayla is now focusing on becoming part of the solution by seeking opportunities to leverage her skills as a cyber investigator and crisis negotiator in service of her community and the private sector.

    Mike Romano Represents the Best of Us

    Mike Romano spent nearly 18 years as an attorney with the Department of Justice (DOJ). He loved his job and thought it would be his forever job. On January 20, 2025, he watched four years of work get wiped away. In January 2021, Mike was a trial attorney in DOJ’s Public Integrity Section. He remembered watching the events of January 6th unfold on the news. He was horrified as he saw an enormous swarm of people descend upon the US Capitol, overwhelming the building and brazenly committing crimes in broad daylight. Rioters attempted to intimidate members of Congress into keeping Donald Trump in office, demanding Congress completely disregard the legal process for certifying an election. Mike had a horrible feeling about what was happening. He worried that people would leave Washington, D.C., without facing consequences for their actions. He was sick at the thought.   By February 2021, Mike was on loan to the D.C. US Attorney’s Office for the Capitol Siege Section (CSS). For the next four years, he relived the Capitol attack every day while prosecuting January 6th cases, eventually serving as Deputy Chief beginning in September 2022. Nearly 1,600 defendants were “federally charged with crimes associated with the attack of the US Capitol.” By Inauguration Day 2025, Mike and his colleagues were worried about what would happen next. They didn’t have to wonder long. President Trump signed an executive order pardoning the January 6th rioters—not just the defendants who committed misdemeanors, but also those who committed violent crimes. The pardons were based on what President Trump called a “grave, national injustice.” The real injustice was that the pardons rewarded acts of domestic terrorism intended to undermine the peaceful transfer of power. Mike had the sinking feeling that he had to leave. For almost two months, he lived with a pit in his stomach, wondering daily if he would get fired. He had seen several of his co-workers from CSS terminated. Mike returned to Public Integrity just in time to watch his principal deputy chief and three deputy chiefs resign after refusing to sign the Motion to Dismiss corruption charges against Mayor Eric Adams in the Southern District of New York. Mike knew he could not stay and watch the rule of law completely disregarded. Mike resigned from the DOJ in March 2025 and joined Lichten & Liss-Riordan, P.C., where he represents workers and advocates for their rights. He continues to speak out about the changes happening at DOJ and within the US Government. You can connect with Mike on LinkedIn. Learn more about this episode on our website.

    Nikki Rutman Believes in Unicorns

    Nikki Rutman thought for sure she'd be a doctor, then she discovered her passion for intelligence. Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Nikki's path shifted again from her interest in Latin American studies to an internship at the Defense Intelligence Agency when it all clicked. That drive eventually steered her to the FBI Counterterrorism Division (CTD) at Liberty Crossing where 'X' quite literally marked the spot. Nikki brought with her a mission to integrate intelligence within the FBI. She pursued that mission throughout her time at CTD, as an advisor at ODNI, and as a Senior Supervisory Intelligence Analyst for the Northeast Regional Intelligence Group in Boston. After government shutdowns, the pandemic, and the attack on the U.S. Capitol, Nikki saw signposts that the development of the FBI's intelligence program had stalled and begun to backslide. She then transitioned to the private sector, where she founded the intelligence program for a major pharmaceutical company. After being affected by layoffs, Nikki founded Duck Cove Consultants and took a senior role at a security firm. She continues to build and integrate intelligence teams, while coaching and mentoring intelligence analysts transitioning from government into the private sector. Nikki also serves on the board of the FBI Association of Intelligence Analysts, where she urges intelligence professionals to step out of the shadows and share their expertise across industry. Watching 2025's deprecation of the intelligence community has been gut-wrenching for Nikki. She has grown concerned for the continued reliability and availability of annual government threat assessments. Nikki sees this growing void as an opportunity for transitioning government employees, and describes intelligence analysts as today's unicorns—uniquely qualified to meet the challenge. Nikki continues to advocate for consistency and career progression in private sector intelligence, dreaming of a day when more companies add a Chief Intelligence Officer to their boardroom. Until then, she's sending big virtual hugs to all of those transitioning out of government, reminding them they're not alone, and encouraging them to connect with others who have successfully transitioned. You can connect with Nikki on LinkedIn or learn more about her advocacy through Duck Cove Consultants.

    Madeline Vellturo Teaches Resilience through Storytelling

    Madeline Vellturo spent the last decade working on violence prevention, peacebuilding, and stability. Between April and July, the State Department eliminated the entire Conflict and Stabilization Operations Bureau, where Madeline worked as a stabilization advisor implementing the Global Fragility Act. Now Madeline is continuing her mission through storytelling. Along with former colleagues, she launched their YouTube channel Former Feds & Friends, where they share their expertise in violence prevention while reacting to popular film and media. By looking at conflict prevention through the lens of fiction, Madeline and friends are making complex problems approachable and digestible in an age of weaponized media. In their first season, they took on topics from authoritarianism and atrocities to insurgencies and refugees while running the pop culture gauntlet through DC, Marvel, Star Trek, Disney, and others. In the spirit of Christmas, Philip and Jill joined Madeline for an age-old holiday tradition: watching Die Hard. Together, we discussed the dangers of biases, interagency conflict, and mislabeling violent criminals as terrorists. Madeline isn't spending all of her time on YouTube though. She is staying sharp by consulting on violence prevention and recently published an article analyzing foreign investment risk and opportunity in Guinea. She's also enjoying life as a newlywed and pursuing future research opportunities. Check out the Christmas crossover special Forking Off with Former Feds & Friends.

    Ali Syverson Paints the Unraveling

    Ali Syverson never considered working for USAID before she applied for a position in climate and environmental communication, but after spending the first half of her career in corporate social responsibility she knew she wanted to work in the public sector. When Ali moved from the private sector in early 2020, she worried about the stereotypes of “lazy government workers." Instead, she found extremely hard-working colleagues and a fast-paced, caring agency diligently providing humanitarian and development assistance around the world. That all came unraveled in 2025. With USAID decimated, Ali turned to her art and reflected on the near collapse of the foreign aid industry. After the November 2024 elections, Ali and her colleagues knew their days were numbered; they had all read Project 2025. Even with this knowledge, none of them were prepared for how quickly the new administration would dismantle and destroy the agency. Two weeks into the administration, all of USAID’s websites were removed from the internet. By the end of February, most USAID employees received Reduction in Force notices, including Ali who had decided to take the Deferred Resignation (aka, the Fork in in the Road). Ali lived in a heightened state of anxiety for the first two months of 2025, and used her art to commemorate all that had been lost. In the aftermath of the destruction, Ali needed to pause and take a breath. Ali knew she wanted to focus on her art for the rest of the year, but she needed time to release herself from the constant ‘fight or flight’ of the first two months of 2025. After moving out of DC, Ali spent 40 days in Spain resting and resetting. Ali spent every day outside painting, reflecting on all that had been lost, reconnecting with herself, and focusing on how to approach the future. While healing, Ali painted From the American People, a celebration and commemoration of USAID’s sixty years of global humanitarian work. After returning from Spain, Ali sold hundreds of prints to help displaced USAID workers. Ali raised over $15k, which was donated to a mutual aid organization and used to pay rent for at least six returning families. Although Ali’s job as a climate and environmental writer is gone, Ali's voice is still deeply rooted in the relationships she made and programs she helped. Using her art as her platform, Ali has brought the story of USAID’s destruction to people across the country, including a solo exhibition at the Warehouse Arts District in St. Petersburg, Florida. Ali’s art was also featured at the Don't Look Now exhibition in New York City alongside other artists who were censored this year. Ali may have lost her dream job at USAID, but she did not lose her dreams. Ali is using her experiences to rebuild and start anew. She is now taking time to create art every day in her new home studio in Minnesota, while also settling into her new job in the arts as the Communications Director for Minnesota Humanities. Check out Ali's art on her website, and follow her story on Instagram. Learn more about this episode on our website.
