New — Employees at SSA just received an update saying it’s *optional* to reply to the 5 bullets email.

Note to staff said, “Pursuant to updated OPM guidance, responses to the email are voluntary. Non-responses are not considered a resignation.”

Like I said, the psychological warfare is the point.

Your regular reminder McConnell could have taken care of this in January 2021
Mitch McConnell on the Ukraine war:

"Blame for this human catastrophe rests solely on Vladimir Putin … If Russian forces laid down their arms, Europe would be at peace. If Ukrainian forces laid down theirs, Putin's aims would not stop … Mistaking this fact is as embarrassing as it is costly."

Donald Trump is a babbling fool talking about Elon Musk's email demanding federal workers respond to him about what they did last week:

"A lot of people are not answering because they don't even exist."

"You're sort of semi-fired."

Donald is unwell.

A day of shame.
Ukraine resolution at the UN called Russia an aggressor and demands the full withdrawal of Russian forces from Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders.

The United States, Israel, and Russia voted against it.

Every free democratic country around the globe voted in favour. #EndImpunity

NEWS: In USDA, multiple people have been asked to report the names of LGBTQ employee resource group leaders to higher-ranking officials, according to interviews with workers and a document reviewed by Mother Jones.

LGBTQ federal workers say they're terrified they're about to be fired for their gender identity, sexual orientation, or past efforts to support other queer and trans employees—in other words, a second Lavender Scare.

You don't need to be a coder to figure this out. Simply type: tab age

You'll discover a smattering of 99 year olds, a few 100 year olds, a couple of 101 year olds, and a pileup of 150 year olds, but no-one in their 130s or 140s. That's a clear sign you've discovered a coding issue rather than fraud

Here is the oath all executive branch employees take. It is to support and defend the Constitution, not to “implement the president’s agenda.” If the two purposes diverge, the Constitution prevails.
