A good idea. Democratic SuperPACs should be running ads right now saying Musk is corrupt and lining his own pockets at your — the public’s — expense.
Tie Musk mercilessly to the Republican Party leadership. They did this. They voted for this in the Senate and House. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

There should also be adds about the guy who ran our government the last 4 months and accessed our most sensitive data being a huge drug addict. That is a huge national security issue as a direct result of Republican’s handing their constitutional power to a foreign billionaire.

Blanket firing of all probationary employees regardless of skill, combined w the deferred resignation program is the opposite of "merit." The deferred resignation program is most likely to attract the highest value employees who have lucrative private sector offers and will be hardest to replace.
