They were fighting bird flu. They got fired. “We aren't 'bureaucrats,' as the media portrayed us. I never worked from home a single day, showing up to the office at 6 am and leaving when I was done working. I never got a single dollar of overtime pay, even on days that I worked 12 hours.”

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

The USDA's announcement comes while the Department of Energy is scrambling to find the federal workers who oversee our nuclear weapons stockpile who THEY accidentally fired. Imagine how many people Trump/Musk fired who they're not gonna realize they needed until the body count starts climbing.

Elon Musk has now illegally fired: - USDA employees amidst a bird flu outbreak - FAA chair amid a plane crash epidemic - People in charge of protecting us from nuclear attack At this point Musk has to be considered a terrorist attacking the United States.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

I’m not sure the rest of the country fully grasps the panic and anger building in DC, MD, and VA. The entire economy of this area is about to collapse. Paychecks are stopping. Careers are ruined. Taxes are about to plummet. Yet no one seems able to stop this madness.

It seems to me that if Musk has proof that millions of social security checks have gone out illegally to dead people, he should be presenting that evidence in front of a grand jury under oath tomorrow instead of shitposting it on social media. When can we do this under oath?

To continue on Alice in Trumperland themes of the day: 10% of National Science Foundation staff fired. Huge cuts at NIH. And IRS is readying to lay off thousands of workers... So, the country will be sicker and stupider, but at least billionaires will have an easier time avoiding paying their taxes.

DOGE gutted the USDA’s bird flu team—then fired nuclear safety experts. Now they’re scrambling to rehire them. There’s a difference between using a chisel to refine and a sledgehammer to demolish. Cutting waste is smart—gutting critical roles then backtracking isn’t leadership, it’s reckless. 🔁❤️🔔

If a Dem president was at a car race the day after a major national disaster had 3 states underwater with fatalities, most of the posts on X tonight would be trashing that president. But whether bad or good, Dems politicians don’t seem to like to play that game. But it is effective.
