RIFs can’t be done without agency leadership so this is RFK Jr extending his purge of CDC scientists to help Vought’s shutdown agenda. Genuine public health risks created by aggrieved men.

These guys have gotten incredibly rich by fleecing the government with subpar tech that was designed for rentseeking rather than performance. A smart Dem agenda item would be to build internal tech capacity. The fact that it would punish these guys is just a silver lining.

And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.

Agree. Then do the same with immigration.

The white guys of apartheid era are pretty horrific.

New AI School should totally be fun and safe for academics. Totally.

Tammy Duckworth and Dick Durbin have arrived at the Broadview ICE facility.

BREAKING: Staff at the Education Department are affected by the mass layoffs that OMB Chief Russell Vought promised today on X.

A department spokesperson confirmed this but didn’t say how many employees will be affected or in which offices. ED has already lost half its staff to a previous RIF.

Three key points:
1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February
2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty
3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise

Hahahahahahshshshshsh

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

Mainer?

You won’t believe what degrading practice the Pope just condemned Communication must be freed from clickbait and misguided thinking, head of Catholic church tells journalists The Pope has condemned clickbait as a “degrading” part of journalism, at a private audience with global newswires. Australian media representatives were among those to hear directly from Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican on Thursday with about 150 members of newswire alliance MINDS International. Continue reading...

Nah. He was always better.

Wood should get the Nobel for lit.

Pope Leo in Dilexi te: “The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty.” (Full Text). www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

Credit where credit is due. The Democrats' message that the GOP shut down the government because they want to throw millions of people off healthcare has broken through. Two of my cousins who are NOT AT ALL tuned into national politics told me that this is why the government is shut down.

“If politicians and professionals do not listen to the poor democracy atrophies, turns into a slogan, a formality; it loses its representative character and becomes disembodied, since it leaves out the people in their daily struggle for dignity, in the building of their future.” - Pope in Dilexi te

Fill the pews for Papa Leo.

Anyone telling the 6 catholics on scotus?

Pope Leo in Dilexi te: “The Church has always recognized in migrants a living presence of the Lord who, on the day of judgment, will say to those on his right: ‘I was a stranger and you welcomed me’”(Mt 25:35).

After 27 years and 1,500+ people managed, I can say this with pride: I’ve never cursed out or belittle anyone on my team.

Leadership isn’t about fear — it’s about respect.

If you’ve done it, it’s never too late to do better.

Getting a flashback to that episode of Scandal where someone said 'There's a special place in hell for women who don't support other women' and then Liv hit her with 'There's a special place in hell for women who spout that tired quote to justify their bad behavior'

Pentagon chief Hegseth more interested in pushups than talking with Illinois leaders, Pritzker says The governor said the Trump administration is keeping him in the dark about immigration enforcement and National Guard deployments.

Pete Hegseth was busy ignoring his job and doing pushups as part of a show for the Guinness Book of World Records while Illinoisans are being invaded by Trump’s military troops.

At least your day job isn’t stressful right now or anything.
