We do like to talk a big game about resisting the illegal takeover of the CFPB, but, fair's fair, we've already started planning the logo for Elon's replacement plan.

Probationary employees with less than 1 year of service at CFPB have received termination notices, but they are so hastily done that they don't have people's names, job titles, or other information. They literally say "I am removing you from your position of [JobTitle]... effective [EffectiveDate]"

I personally know multiple people who have been fired in the past couple of weeks. Hard-working civil servants who were just doing their jobs. It is terrifying that our best hope is the courts -- not only for federal employees, but for all Americans.

New — I did a brief history of the ‘Fork in the Road’ email to show how Musk screwed up by treating federal workers like fucking idiots, and how the pressure to resign is about breaking morale more than culling the workforce.

If you are a federal government employee and you receive an email that the Fork in the Road deadline has been paused, please share it with me. I’ll keep you anonymous. Contact in bio. I’m interested in the language they use. They’ve been ordered to notify you.

The Republican Party, which has spoken for decades about limited government and states rights, is now backing an autocratic takeover of the entire nation. But the real problem is the Democratic Party.

it feels like deja vu for a reason! at Twitter, Musk demanded code reviews. in the government, a Tesla engineer is asking employees to submit "technical accomplishments." at Twitter, he stopped paying rent. in government, leases are getting cancelled. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/t...

To recap, Trump: -Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence -Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers -Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee -Blamed the DCA crash on DEI This is disastrous leadership.

This was my favorite of the eulogies today. I don’t think we will ever have a President again with as much integrity as Jimmy Carter. The same man publicly and privately.
