We’re receiving word that General Services Administration leadership are firing more people tonight. Our dedicated colleagues should be eating dinner with their families or putting their kids to bed, not having their lives upended. The public will suffer, too. We stand with all of you.

This is so fucking tragic. Today Europe is completely united behind Ukraine and the cause of freedom. Meanwhile the United States is sitting this one out along with Russia and Iran. Make it make sense.

Here’s an idea: If “waste, fraud and abuse” are actually being uncovered, could we see a couple examples that can be investigated and confirmed by an independent 3rd party? Because I believe DOGE is theater.

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people: 18f.org

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

There are more cases of measles in Texas than there are transgender athletes in the NCAA. Guess which the Republicans are more worried about.

NATO is toast. NAFTA is dead. OAS is defunct. What’s next? I predict that the UN is the next domino. And once all these tiles fall, a century of Pax Americana will come to an end. Get ready for the next gathering storm.

Trump stands for ethnic cleaning in Gaza. He stands for imperial expansion in Greenland. Any chance that he’s planning to resettle Gazans in Greenland? Canada might need an Iron Dome defense system. Personally I’m starting to think about building a fallout shelter.

And now, we have a tariff war with our biggest trading partner. Canada will easily find other export markets in Asia and Europe. The US construction industry will suffer. A Great Depression happened once before. It can happen again. Batten down the hatches. There will be pain. Thank you MAGA morons.

Two airplane crashes are no coincidence. Our system is broken. Air traffic controllers are demoralized. It is worse than when Reagan fired them. Now the organization is being destroyed. The cause? A misbegotten view of government’s role. It is not our enemy. Chaos is our enemy and chaos is winning.

It is no longer safe to fly in America. There’s a simple reason. Donald Trump. Watch as the American airline industry now tanks.

It’s happening. America is driving former friends into the willing arms of China. Witness the foreign policy blunder happening with Colombia, America’s fifth largest export customer for corn. Farmers, your markets are gonna dry up. While your labor goes away too. Can anyone spell GREAT DEPRESSION?

On a cold and icy day, the earth shook in northern New Jersey. An earthquake jolted folks just west of New York City this afternoon. And our power failed for two minutes. Mother Nature isn’t happy with us. It’s time to hunker down inside the cabin.

Leon’s Nazi salute. Withdrawal from Paris climate accords and World Health Organization. Reversing LGTBQ rights. Ending historic citizenship rules. Rounding up and deporting immigrants. What a dark day for America. Nero and the oligarchs will fiddle while our Rome burns. The shining light is dead.

Atmospheric (barometric) pressure is 30.12 in Hg and falling. Bad weather is on the way. Why do we still measure in inches of mercury? Seems pretty archaic. A simple bar would do.

Don’t be glum about the long, cold winter. Look around: the trees are busy, not sleeping. When the temperature permits, cells in this bud are dividing, maturing into flowers, leaves, stems. The cambium, maker of all the trees, is preparing for its spring festivities. Be like a tree: keep growing.

1. Eric Adams dined with a top Trump ally in Long Island last night. 2. That ally is very tight with the incoming US Attorney for the Eastern District, which is investigating the mayor. 3. Adams ate branzino, even though he's a "vegan." x.com/emilyngo/sta...

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care. But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix. The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.

Today I read over 18,000 emails. Kind of. Had to crash through a 4-year backlog on a former associate’s computer. Gotta wonder what he was doing with all that screen time. OK, I didn’t read them. I just marked them as read. Next step. Need to archive 50,000 emails in his in box. I need a drink.
