If VA clinicians have to be doctor, nurse, scheduler, pharmacist, janitor, and technician in addition to caring for patients, VA healthcare will die a slow death. And that will feed veterans into to a private healthcare system greedy for government money but unable to provide the care they need.

Ah, words to sneak into my 5 things OPM emails! Gulf of Mexico might be tough but I relish a challenge.

We are barely allowed to hire anyone, basically just requests to backfill critical positions and slam dunks (veterans, current federal employees) are declining because of fear of being probationary and losing their new jobs at the whim of some idiot. Heartbreaking for veteran care.

Jesus Christ. Not the expletive, but a genuine prayer.

Being forced to listen to Trump during his first cabinet “meeting” as I am visiting my dad in rehab. Trump just spews nonsense. It is really quite amazing to watch, in contrast to other people who speak in actual sentences. Ridiculous sentences, but at least in normal English language.

It is irresponsible for NYT to put a non-peer reviewed study on blast in this day and age. The average American has no framework to consider this info and instead will add it to the pile of “maybe the COVID vaccine isn’t so safe” pseudo-theories leading people to skip vaccination.

Well, white men can’t reproduce by themselves. Be patient as they move themselves to oblivion.

DOGE: Diabolical Oligarchs Gaslighting Everyone

Well, R’s are somewhat right about promoting replacement theory, just not in the way they traditionally wield it. I certainly would like to replace all those of Elon’s ilk with human beings who care about one another.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

My office is hearing reports that the Trump administration’s purges include firing veterans who have served our country for years. Our veterans deserve better. If you've been impacted, call congress: (202) 224-3121 And share your story: www.veterans.senate.gov/contact-rank...

Don’t worry, they didn’t fire “mission critical” employees. Worked out well for Department of Energy, should be fine.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

ATTN: Probationary federal workers who have been fired, please read: federalworkerrights.com/2025/02/13/m...

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

How can veterans get access to their benefits Mr. Secretary if you fire those who approve the benefits? #shortsighted @votevets.org

Wow.

So much lolz. When even North Korea thinks you’ve jumped the shark. (I know taking Gaza is not funny. But giving the moral high ground to North Korea because you speak out of your ass is ludicrous.)

Most people grow and expand their heart in the midst of proximity to suffering. This guy stayed an asshole.

And the children shall lead them.

Would it be wrong to put these words in my emails, apropos of nothing, so that when DOGE comes thru, it clogs up their search results with nonsense?

VHA too!

They can scrub DEI from paper. But they can’t scrub it from our actions. Press on.

I love this. This should be the symbol of the new rebel coalition.

It's interesting how the immigrant most responsible for costing Americans their jobs is Elon Musk

BEYONCÉ!!!!

The time is now. Silence is not an option.
