UPDATE: The charges against her have been dropped “in the interest of justice” (she bit one of the brownshirts that assaulted her) and the private security firm has lost their license to operate. I hope she sues them into oblivion.

NEW PIECE: Since early on this crisis I've thought about the fastest warning signs of mass payment failure or mass impoundment. I pursued "deep background" calls with former or current Federal Reserve/Treasury/Banker informants to find out. This is the result www.crisesnotes.com/how-can-we-k...

This is a lesson in the value of litigation (which @chrisgeidner.bsky.social laid out). One of the FIRST lawsuits filed against OPM (by @nationalsecuritylaw.org) argued that OPM had not done the proper Privacy Impact Asssessment. So they did this. Now it'll fuck up the exploitation of this email.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

Still following @nathantankus.bsky.social , who is uncovering what's happening at the Treasury in the destructive process of "abrogating the constitution in service of centralizing power in the executive branch and subordinating both Congress and the Judiciary". His is the most important reporting.

Lost my CDC contract after a visit from DOGE. I feel like I’m in the dirt (or TBH eating a pint of ice cream on a couch crying). But here’s the thing: Pushing people down—especially those with heart, purpose, and love for public service—doesn’t mean they stay down. It’s literally against their DNA.
