As VA releases a bunch more workers, remember that Trump put Doug Collins in charge of Special Counsel which is the first line of appeal for these fired workers. Hampton Dellinger, reinstated by an order SCOTUS is likely to override in coming days, asked MPSB to reinstate 6 people, 1 of whom is VA. - ThreadSky

What do we do when there is a blitzkrieg invasion of our country and the political system has been completely destroyed? Call your Congressperson?… umm, maybe a more drastic, immediate approach is the only thing that will save us. Like a general strike?

How much does Trump have to dismantle the government before a critical mass of people realize he isn’t doing anything but purposefully destroying the U.S. government on behalf of an enemy country (as in Russia, or oligarchs in charge of Russia)

Do these cuts affect workers at VA hospitals? Or are they working their way through the whole department slowly. Thanks.

This is f*cking insane!!! This foolishness needs to STOP, and it needs to stop NOW. Congress, ALL OF YOU, do your damn job!

Here's how Dellinger described the VA person whom--he says--Doug Collins unlawfully fired.

So as Doug Collins fires 1,400 people, understand that after tomorrow, he'll likely become the person they appeal their firing to.
