Letter From a Federal Worker This is a heartbreaking letter that a federal worker has asked me to share with the public.

We applaud this employee for sharing their story, ending with these wise words:

โ€œHold these oligarchs accountable, hold our representatives accountable and make your voice heard.โ€
