Answer: 1st, "failure to respond" is not resignation...there's a way to resign and it's codified in US law - failing to respond to an Email from outside the agency that employs you is nowhere in the law. Otherwise, this should suffice: "I completed work in accordance with my position description."

Trump press secretary Karoline Leavitt proclaimed, "The Kennedy Center learned the hard way that if you go woke, you will go broke." She was partly right.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

Starlink should be banned from European markets on national security grounds. Anything requiring Starlink should be shut out of the European market, and sanctions should be considered against all relevant actors. kyivindependent.com/us-threatens...

Desperate to stay in Trump’s favour, Farage grovels before extremists, refusing to back Ukraine and selling out Britain in the process. He’s a fool, a traitor, pledging allegiance to a foreign demagogue while pretending to care about sovereignty. Pathetic, spineless, and utterly disgraceful.

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

Trump's lies about Zelensky and Ukraine are a new low, even for him, and must be called out by world leaders. We need to urge Keir Starmer to stand firm and not back down when he meets with Trump next week. Add your name here:

Rep. Jason Crow: “The purge of senior officers at DOD is deeply troubling, but purging JAG officers worries me the most. “JAG officers interpret law for our commanders. They help determine what's lawful and constitutional. “Replacing these military lawyers with Trump loyalists is so dangerous.”

This is going to get bad. Trump has fired top military leaders and military lawyers. This means only one thing. He wants only loyalists to do whatever he wants with the military. Only the American people can stop Trump and Musk.

The share of Americans employed by the government steeply dropped in the decades leading up to 2000, and has remained essentially flat since. A bloating federal workforce is a myth.

submitted 2 days ago • 24 comments

Does anyone in the media point out that, while so much of America - and certainly the American right - thinks the US govt has grown more bloated in recent years, the truth is that number of federal employees relative to the US population is *smaller* now than it was in 1965.
