Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Our next president will have to be technologically competent, at least , in order for us to sustain our place in the world.

This will become increasingly obvious over the next 4 years as AI gets more powerful

This isn’t necessarily bad. Truly. Done right, we will be a better, more equal society

Donald Trump illegally fired 19 inspectors general.

The law requires notice to Congress and a case-by-case justification. It is not optional.

Congress must convene a bipartisan hearing to examine these unlawful acts and how they can be remedied. Immediately.

NEW: in another late-night “fork” email to federal employees, OPM has apparently made what is their “last, best, and final” offer to convince our members to resign their employment.

Folks, we didn’t think this was possible, but OPM found a way to make the offer *worse.* 🧵
