Now that federal employees are back to work, I’ve heard from my friends & former colleagues at the Eisenhower Presidential Library. They tell me their general delivery email & voicemail inboxes are full of messages supporting me & demanding my reinstatement. That is very humbling and gratifying.

Did Trump thugs pull out thumbscrews? Lauren Boebert's no Einstein, but common sense has to make her think "why are they going to these extremes?"
It's beyond child sex trafficking. It likely involves blackmail & money laundering (witness Epstein financial doc requests).

This is a declaration they will use federal resources to deploy violence against judges, prosecutors, and attorneys general. There's no other coherent interpretation of the phrasing, including "only remedy," "legitimate state power," and connecting those people with "terror networks."

TSA warns of longer wait times. Meanwhile, MAGA thinks it’s no big deal for TSA workers to show up w/out pay and just get back pay later.
These aren’t high-paid employees. They’re covering childcare and transportation out of pocket while getting nothing. At some point, it’s cheaper to call in sick.
