"...you are not fit for continued employment because your ability, knowledge and skills do not fit the Agency's current needs, and your performance has not been adequate to justify further employment..."

Did they even help secure the last election?

What this does symbolize though is a shifting of the winds. Instead of securing the country, someone in power doesn't want a roadblock when the interfere in future elections.

Remove the audit committee and there is no longer a problem to report.

I remember watching Star Wars as a kid and asking myself, who would voluntarily join the dark side? I understood Darth Vader's motivation, but not the stormtrooper's.

What you think InfoSec sounds like:
- Seize control of the docking clamp communication bus, disengage all diode armatures, and release our Harpoon cyber attack suite over the Baltic dark fiber.

I just voted NO on RFK Jr. to lead HHS. None of his empty promises could undo the harm his past statements have already had on people’s health. He’s a flip-flopper, a conspiracy peddler, and a danger to our country.

He’s driven by self-interest, not by protecting Americans.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.

This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.
