Being a project manager right now is just a series of "oh god I am SO sorry to bother you while the world is collapsing, I don't want to cause you more stress, but are you on target for your translation goals this week" messages to contractors. If you work with me I'm so sorry to bother you.

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing? DON'T DO IT. If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT. Document, document, document. Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

Elon has deployed a single, unknown engineer to rewrite the code underlying one of our government’s mission critical systems. If you aren’t in tech, let me explain: you don’t do this, on an app of any size. A new engineer is NEVER solely responsible for changes to production. This is a nightmare.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Crazy idea but could some US senator call the Sec of the Treasury and ask him what the fuck is going on? @corybooker.com, you voted for him. You and the 14 other Dems who also did need to get answers @wyden.senate.gov and @warren.senate.gov must also given their key roles
