"There are plenty of contractors going under".

A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.

PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

Never liked this guy. Always thought he was a weak senator and man. Trump walked all over him.

Zelensky OPPOSES a ceasefire and truce just called for by Trump.

“We don’t just need a ceasefire. We’ve done that before — Putin violated it 25 times, including during your presidency, Mr. President,” he told Trump.

Please President Zelensky, do not sign anything with the #CovictedFelonDonaldTrump. You already know he is a liar, a bully and will not honor any agreement. Trump is siding with the war criminal Putin who wants to annihilate Ukraine and its people. #SlavaUkraine #ProudBlue #DemVoice1
