As a journalist for 20 years now, I have interacted with many, many civil servants, and I have been struck over & over by their good will, intelligence, & dedication. Virtually all of them could make more in the private world, but they care about their country & other people. Read these interviews:

Offitt AFB, Nebraska. Wright-Patterson, Ohio. China Lake. NAS Pensacola. Just a few examples of that "climate change crap" that Hegseth's DOD won't do anymore. The Pentagon said it was canceling 91 climate-related studies today. How does this make us safer, or make America great? #greensky #science

"Largesse that they've just come to expect" is pretty apt. Just not in the way you think.
Kevin Cramer: "If you require work for benefits, you really have created some cuts because you've made people more self-reliant and less needy for the kind of largesse that they've just come to expect. It's not good for them."

I invite people to go see "I'm Still Here." The film won Best International Feature. It's based on the true story of Eunice Paiva, whose husband disappeared forever under a Brazilian 1970s era military govt. And how she builds a life after. It could happen, there. l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http...

If your defense of free speech is reserved for would-be authoritarians — while helping lead a regime that is otherwise busy suppressing speech, assembly, and the press — then it becomes difficult to ignore the suspicion that you might be one yourself.

One would be hard-pressed to say that this is an administration that takes it seriously.

This is why you fight these cowards.
The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.
Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.
He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.
