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?

Let’s not forget about the unconstitutional attack on public schools in Texas! Crooked Greg Abbott has removed duly elected school board officials and has replaced him with his pawns! These MAGA’s have NO SHAME!

I’m in a few groups for women in aviation and I haven’t seen this much sadness and despair in many years. Being a female flyer has never been a walk in the park but things were getting better. Now all of a sudden things are getting worse again, especially for our sisters in the US.

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

Trump and Musk have made no secret that they aren’t simply out to downsize the government. They also want to eliminate what they see as “woke” bureaucrats they believe tried to thwart Trump’s agenda last time he was president & were preparing to do so once again. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

I'm watching Canadian officials hold a presser on the Toronto plane crash and remarkably they're not blaming DEI or recklessly speculating about causes. They could never cut it down here in Trumplandia.

Included in Trump and Musk's mass layoffs were hundreds of FAA employees who keep U.S. air travelers safe. Apparently Trump and Musk are missing what’s obvious to the American people: we need to do MORE to improve our air safety right now — not less.

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

It's just so important to look at oneself first. If you're asking why OTHER people aren't doing something that YOU aren't, you'll find part of the answer in why you aren't doing said thing.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

From an FDA probationary employee: the firings are coming from outside the agency without cause and with zero input from supervisors (as promised.) More firings expected between now and Tuesday. Do not open the termination email before you download your documents and performance evals.
