You may have heard that Wednesday was my last day after nearly 20 yours of serving as a career employos at the Justice Department. This news may have come as a surprise to you, as it did to me when I received a letter stating that I had hoon terminated immediately, without cause, It appears that my termination was based on little more than a single social media post containing false information
I am disappointed to leave behind a national security and puhbu safety mission that I truly believed in. I am even more disappointed to see what has happened to this office and the Department of Justice in just a few short months. The decisioni in remove experimod career officials from US Attorneys Offices, the FBI, and other critical parts of DOI undermines mar country's ability to mnter terrorist crganizations, malign nation-state actors, and countless ethers that seek to harm our nation and its citiems
I am proud of the work I have done on behalf of the American people. I am humbled arrated the victims of crime and their families in ensuring that the criminal justice system provided a mesure of clans. I am sroubled that I was removed an abruptly in the middle of important work, including the prosecution of Mohammad Sharifullah, the only person to face justion in the United Stann for the homhing at the Abbey Ciate of the Hamid Karzai International Airport. This prosecution meant to bring justice to the 13 United States service members and suns of civiliam killed and mjwed. While I have the utmost confidence in my on-name, my aheupt, apparently thoughtless removal with as period of transition will hurt this case. This eximybe highlights the most troubling moet of the current operations of the Department of Justice the leadership is more concerned with peamishing the President's perceived enemies than they are with pertesting our national security. Justice for Americans killed and injured by our enemies should not be contingent on what someone in the Department of Justice aneβ¦

Itβs not my field, but it seems possible that the bulk peptides produced could have some function and this phenomenon as a whole might be selected.

Dems should force the GOP to go nuclear over the filibuster.
1) the GOP broke everything, make them own it all
2) assuming a strong enough shift in β26 & β28 the Dems will need the a 51 vote majority in order to govern and repair the damage
