If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

Want a great slogan for midterms?
"If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you "
You get the point.
FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
Do not.

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited.
It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

In the last 45mins or so they talk about how young men are fed up by school shootings and how ridiculous gun laws are.
Suggesting that this is a topic that democrats could take hold of and have an impact
They opened a door wide open for their support. But no one cared to watch long enough.

Less than one week into Trump's presidency, it is clear there will be retribution. The only question is whether we will oppose it or enable it. Tomorrow morning I explain what each can do to limit the damage.
