Every time a career lawyer is pushed out, you can assume they were told to do something illegal.
BREAKING — FEMA Acting Chief Counsel Joshua Stanton has been put on administrative leave & walked out of the building after being given the role *just last week*, an agency source tells me.
Previous chief counsel Adrian Sevier had been with FEMA since 2000 and was office's longest-serving chief.

This is tragic. Anyone who was familiar with 18F knows those were some of the real heroes of government, who helped make government tech/digital services better for the public.
They were doing real work that DOGE pretends to do, but is too ignorant to know how to do.

18F, a digital services unit inside the General Services Administration, has been completely laid off, according to an email I’ve seen. The email says that 18F was deemed “non-critical” and the decision was made with the “explicit” direction of the administration and GSA leadership.

Is it still hardcore if you're raging against the PTA?

I keep seeing this one take posted, "Why is everyone focused on the shady and vulnerable methods and not the massive fraud uncovered by the lying liars known for lying who operate without any oversight or outside confirmation?" and it just seems to answer itself? Why have that take at all even?

Popped back into this account, and I have 2 thoughts.
First, I remember being in a soul-crushing toxic situation and my friends saying tech-lol-shrug instead of helping, supporting, or changing the system. That's not what I mean.
What I mean is: Homer/Bart "the worst SO FAR".

Scrolling through "worst interview experience I ever had" Glassdoor reviews, and, not justifying the industry or anything, but, some of these folks are clearly new to tech.

Literally only set this profile up to claim my name and post this amazing selfie somewhere. Insta seemed too vain, but a people pic on a reserve account seemed like the right amount of exposure.
