Good morning ppl! Happy May Day. Here is your reminder that unions do work. Due to the work and court wins by the NTEU. RIFed employees are starting to be called back to their jobs. This is a huge win for the FDA and for you.

Insanity. Sheer insanity.

The way they are exploiting this woman’s suffering to try to justify sending a random guy to an El Salvadoran gulag is truly sick

Take a deep breath and look at these otters relaxing. You probably need it.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie. America, people. Freedom and stuff.

April 5 protest best signs.

The @wilsoncenter.org is another victim of this regime. There is no bottom to this regime. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

The biggest con is selling our Federal workers as lazy, corrupt, and wasteful. I came from industry to my Federal position a year and a half ago. I work with humble scientists at FDA whose mission is to promote health and safety. Public sector workers mission is for profit, second is public health.

This is a United States Senator MACK: I was laid off from HHS and now people aren’t getting social services, especially people with disabilities BANKS: You probably deserved it MACK: Why did I deserve it? BANKS: Because you look like a clown

Don’t tell me you care about children’s health when you dissolve the CHILDHOOD LEAD POISONING PREVENTION branch at the #CDC.

Office of Science Director at FDA-CTP Matthew Farley reassigned to unknown position at HHS

Deputy Director of Regulatory Management at FDA-CTP Todd Cecil put on administrative leave @altfda.altgov.info

We obeyed the law. We followed the science. We told the truth. With gratitude, Brian King’s parting words as he is placed on administrative leave from FDA-CTP @altfda.altgov.info

We obey the law. We follow the science. We told the truth. Brian King, Center of Tobacco Products - Director placed on administrative leave email to the Center. My heart breaks. @altfda.altgov.info

Brian King my Center Director at Center of Tobacco control at FDA was placed on administrative leave. This is a sad sad day.

RIF at FDA White Oak confirmed and in the most inefficient, cruel, chaotic, messy, unorganized manner possible. This is not April Fools joke except for the people who voted for this administration and regret it now when warned what would happen.

I work at FDA April 1. Stopped after passing through security and badge in for a security officer to call my name that I can work. Many of my colleagues out the door on this blustery morning. Some finding out they were RIFed. Sad day at White Oak Silver Spring MD. This is not ok.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

First off, Pete Hegseth is a disgrace and should be fired. Second, instead of being an asshole and trash-talking the journalist, he should be thanking him for not posting anything top-secret that’s still to come.

I’m voting NO on cloture and NO on the House Republican’s disastrous government spending bill. Here’s why:

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

Colorado's Rep Brittany Pettersen (D) flew cross-country with her one-month-old to vote against the GOP budget tonight. Dems ended up one vote short. Pettersen was part of an unsuccessful bipartisan push to allow new mothers to vote remotely. #copolitics

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

PLEASE SHARE.

The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.

Under no circumstances can Russ Vought—a key architect of Project 2025—be confirmed. My colleagues and I will be holding the Senate floor ALL night in opposition of his nomination.

Taking what my constituents said at last night’s town hall and broadcasting it! We don’t want the dumbsizing our government. Federal workers are part of what makes America great!

Don't know the original source but so very accurate.
