Trump plans decapitation of National Nuclear Security Administration Jan 20th

I read this earlier.

I'm more apt to believe it when someone other than Gizmodo starts covering it.

It's consistent with the universal dismissals of ambassadors immediately. I'm inclined to think this is just the policy of the administration: all political appointees must resign on Inauguration Day. Doesn't make much sense except as petty vengeance for roles that are not particularly high-profile, but there you have it.

Thing is, this is a Bush appointee so why would he be dismissed?

He's not. The head of the NNSA was a Bush appointee until 2014, but that guy retired, and Obama replaced him. The article is a little vague on this.
