Ahh, the Friday night sneak attack and potential shadow court play. Will the judicial branch be as complicit in their their neutering as our legislative branch? May our pockets of excellence in both branches thrive and conquer

Veteran-centered nurses, physicians psychologists, social workers, & other clinicians taking DRP/leaving is 100% an indictment of VASec leadership, not their commitment to the mission or the politically manufactured narrative of poor competency and quality of care. TY @repmarktakano.bsky.social

"Move fast and break things" is no way to operate the government. Not when you're breaking veterans benefits, Social Security checks, and a parent's ability to put food on the table.

Hopeful the courts with be transparent with the plans since our leadership was gagged. Then again, this is if the agencies comply with the court order, which our administration seems to believe is optional. www.npr.org/2025/05/09/n...

I might feel slightly different if it was #StarTrek actors like Kate Mulgrew, Marina Sirtis, or Sonequa Martin-Green since they at least played astronauts, but probably not.

Scheduling software and process absolutely need an overhaul to make it competitive with private sector to include increasing self-scheduling, but private sector also uses people in the office, call centers, and online for appointments.

Not surprisingly, Trump’s overall tax and tariff proposals would make the very rich much richer and working families poorer. If you earn less than $360,000 a year, your taxes are going to go way up. If you’re in the top 1%? Don’t worry. You’ll save big.
