Hey @repscottpeters.bsky.social @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov! Does this look like the behavior of a department that will comply with stronger regulations or do they act more like they think they are above the law? Abolish ICE. Prosecute ICE.

A few months ago they let me walk around the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex at night. Don't know if it was the desert rain, watching skyscraper-sized antennas swivel to catch signals from beyond Saturn, or just my fillings buzzing from the radio signals, but I had goosebumps all night.

The US government lost more than 10,000 STEM PhDs last year, according to an analysis by Science of newly released OPM data, with 11 departures for every hire. And many OPM calls "voluntary" separations were probably pushed. www.science.org/content/arti...
