Today is a day to log off from social media. Eat a paczki if you can find it and watch some space ghost reruns.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

I always hate losing in Columbus. I would love to see those helmets some more though. Fun showing in the second and third tonight for the Red Wings.

This hits hard…

“Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.”

You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

When times are bad and I need a place to retreat to comfort I keep finding myself watching old Anthony Bourdain. Something about his poetry, curiosity, and exposure of things that are so foreign to the average American.

If I cook a recipe and use half of one ingredient (because it’s all had on hand) but twice the amount of another ingredient (because I’m a rebel) and it still tastes good, is that a terrible recipe or a great recipe?

The catch-22 is that states try to cap premiums to protect their residents. When they do so, they distort the economics that have changed as a result of climate change, leading to them no longer offering coverage.

This is an area the Dems can own by focusing on insurance destruction and inflation
So insurers talk publicly about the cost of climate change, the cost to them, and ultimately their customers; while our government will not. The customers of our government are its citizens. They deserve and should demand to be informed first and then protected.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

This is to weaken civil service to the point that it can be taken over by loyalists and then tanked so that it can be replaced by privatized services.
