To my journalist clients & friends, be forewarned. At some point, Trump Admin will file #EspionageAct charges against media outlet/journalist for unlawfully disclosing national defense info (does not need to be classified). No 1st Amendment protection exist.
Don't be that person. The risk is real.

No matter what one thinks of Trump 2.0, do not release classified info w/o authorization. It harms national security & illegal. You do not want to be prosecuted under #EspionageAct.
@wbaidlaw.bsky.social will rep #whistleblowers pro bono to facilitate lawful disclosures

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.

It bugs me that we live in a world where gaetz’s nomination failing was ever in question.
But we’ve got live in the world we’re in, and a win is a win.
Here’s hoping that one or more of the other unacceptables go down too.

So if Elon is seeking free volunteer labor to review government agencies as part of his “DOGE” scheme then wouldn’t it be a valid act of civil disobedience to volunteer and then give glowing reports on the efficiency/value of fed civil servants? Gum up the works?
