Every time you see what sounds like a wild claim about woke research, you can assume a) it will fall apart under the most basic of inspection, b) the person making the claim will never be held accountable for lying, and c) it is a cover to gut useful research that we benefit from.

This is ugly: Trump's DOJ has effectively informed immigration judges in a new memo that they can no longer rely on rules that protect against arbitrary firing. This lays groundwork for removing them if they rule the "wrong" way too often. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1923...

I imagine they'll be translating President Trump's speech into Russian which shouldn't be hard because that was the language it was drafted in. A Moscow spokesperson states the obvious: the Trump-Vance agenda "largely aligns" with the Kremlin.

Sabotage. The chaos is a feature, not a bug. They’re trying to precipitate a crisis to justify taking even more control, to suspend the Constitution (which they’re already shredding/ignoring/defying) and impose dictatorship. I think I might have said this a few times. I hope you’re catching on.

A tale of those who took the fork. Today we learned who signed their fork agreement (some had shared, others had not). We were told their last day would be Friday (as had been scheduled). Early afternoon we were told, just kidding, their last day is today. Turn in all your stuff and go.

❗ALERT❗ There are 3 congressional seats up for election (FL-1, FL-6, NY-21), 2 with voting starting in 3 weeks (links below). Media has been strangely silent on this 🤔 Congress is 218 R, 215 D. If we pick up 3 seats, we gain control of the House. A major step towards stopping Trump’s agenda

Here is a hard truth. The Government is not perfectly efficient. It has waste, it has fraud, it has abuse... The same as virtually every single other entity, public or private, that exits. A large majority of Federal workers continually work to improve things and make them more efficient...

Weekly pep talk (for you and me): 1) you and your work matter. 2) you are appreciated and loved by many people. 3) you need to protect yourself. Have copies of EVERYTHING from your personnel file, know what RIF would look like for you (retirement or lump sum- see section L in employee express).
