FYI, for us who are furloughed don't get back pay with the cost of our insurance deducted from the back pay, then we'll get hit with reduced paychecks going forward as our portion of the insurance is taken out to make up for our non-pay status while we were covered. www.opm.gov/frequently-a...

This is what I'm personally angry about the most with this administration. It's not being furloughed without pay. It's not my retirement tanking at the beginning of the year and only now 11 months later back to where it was.

I'm furloughed. Twice I've submitted for unemployment. Twice it was denied. No reason given. I know how to make ends meet, but I feel like my state is just fucking me over. No reason given. Terrible website design. I was told I could appeal it but that option appears to be missing.

Did anyone watching the whitehouse live stream on autism yesterday see the close captioning start while waiting for the stream to start? Something about joining a liberal church.

Nearly all adverts against tight wing and right wing friendly politicians going forward should be a loop of cuts from news local school shootings, charlie kirk saying some deaths are acceptable, and cuts of the politician in question supporting charlie kirk.

“There are no good guys. Just bad guys and worse guys.” is such a framing of moral cowardice. It’s wanting the high ground without earning it. It’s still making yourself out to be the good guy but without any of the responsibility that comes with that role.

If the Federal Government is turning its back on the states and the people within, then perhaps it is time to evaluate raising prices for any service us locals do for DC. The Fed gov needs to pay their fair share.
