Trump and DOGE accused federal civil servants of fraud (with no evidence). Meanwhile, they're halting enforcement of a foreign anti-bribery law, dropping criminal charges against Eric Adams, and pardoning a former governor who tried to sell Obama's Senate seat. Hello?

If you are a federal worker who was let go today, I'd love to hear from you. I'm interested in both your work for the federal government and the impact of this decision on your life. Contact me on signal at juddlegum.47 or use the QR code below. I can keep you anonymous if you prefer.

Egg prices are through the roof due to unmitigated H5N1 Tuberculosis outbreaks in Kansas and North Carolina. COVID still killing & disabling people every week. Public health agencies barred from communicating with the public. Wear a respirator. For yourself and your community

is it woke to want to end cancer?

Now more than ever.

The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.

Calling my senators - Fetterman and McCormick - usually feels like talking to a wall. But if you can find time to call about this one today, you should. For my kid and everyone's kids.

A lot of things suck in this lifetime, but I remember when the thought of this was incomprehensible. This is beautiful.
