So DRP 2.0 (Fork Part Deux) comes with a threat of imminent RIF, includes roughly two months less Admin Leave time, is open for a whopping seven days, and closes a day after many folks are forced to return to under-resourced over-occupied offices. ‘Dignified and fair departure?’ Right.

On a DEFCON scale, where to we put texting out imminent battle plans to an international journalist on a group chat with 17 other administration folks, all outside the chain of command?

Imagine being so angry and full of hate as to declare your child dead rather than acknowledge their gender identity. He makes a lot more sense in this context.

NEW: A source tells me that response teams for FEMA set to deploy to the South Carolina wildfires are unable to travel because their government issued travel cards have had their limits reduced to $1. FEMA response team cards were supposed to be exempt.

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.

If one’s goal is to save money, firing young probationary employees is *literally* the least bang for the buck. This move guts the future of the federal workforce with no actual “merit based” selection whatsoever. See it for what it is.

Fun fact: Firing federal civil servants, probationary or not, without cause is called an illegal firing not a ‘layoff.’ Those people aren’t at-will private employees. They work for the people of the United States of America.
