This whole thing is so sad. @lawrenceodonnelljr.bsky.social covered it with compassion. Why doesn’t Trump’s family intervene?

SCOOP—In August, nearly 200 current/former FEMA staffers published the Katrina Declaration, a whistleblower letter detailing all the dangers posed by current leadership.
All current employees were put on indefinite leave, and now I've learned one has been fired in violation of federal protections:

FEMA employee terminated for signing whistleblower letter
It appears to be a major violation of federal whistleblower protections and constitutional rights.

Another restaurant owner stood up to ICE. She refused to let fear win. Her courage reminds us that ordinary people still hold the power to stop injustice in its tracks. When we speak up, we protect what’s right.

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

Some politicians inspire. Some lead. And then there’s Vance a man who looked at American troops on Thanksgiving and thought, “You know what these heroes need? A deranged sermon about poultry.”
JD Vance Says Soldiers Who Believe This 1 Thing Are 'All Full Of S**t’'

Kristi Noem really sent 100+ Venezuelan men to El Salvador in defiance of a federal court order — straight from new DOJ filings.
But sure, tell us again how Republicans “follow the law.”
