Me: there is no reason why government oversight of things like rocket launches should be compromis…..

Also Me: if someone starts a GoFundMe to pay for his private jet fuel and inflight Red Bulls and ketamine to get him to Florida I’m probably in for a Hamilton.

Were there vastly different emails that went out to different parts of HHS? Anything beyond a vague “Oh, look, here’s a VERA!”? With no details like how to submit anything, how to determine retirement date, when it will take effect, any details on separation payments…anything of substance.

So awful, sad, and infuriating. All at once. The diversity of folks in the one photo also speaks to the vileness of what the current “administration” in the White House is doing. Must have missed photo of all the white males cleaning out their desks that day. Saying this AS a white male, BTW.

Honestly, as long as we are as polite as we can under the circumstances, call every day on topics as long as they remain unresolved. If my internet was out and no one was sent out to fix it I’d contact provider again & again after each missed deadline. We don’t have option of not paying bill here.

Wow, talked to humans who heard your opinion. I’ve called senators and reps twice now over the past week and got VMs for all every call. Left my info and succinct but increasingly unhappy feedback. Concluded by thanking them for their time and attention. Kind of based on 5calls script ideas.

Bless his heart!

Only when golfing at Mar-A-Lie-Go with certain drug addled narcissists and other billionaires while plotting the destruction of the US. And plotting probably implies too much thought and brainpower going into any of it.

Excellent talking points for calling elected officials who seem to hiding under their desks like the average middle schooler in the US has been trained to do. But no one is coming to help and give them the “all clear”. THEY are supposed to be THE HELP to Americans.

Glad to see Colorado showing up. It’s going to take more than this nationwide. Ceaseless attacks on every front, every day by this administration.

And I know that you know. So sorry to hear that.

This unfortunately tracks 110% with what I have been seeing every day. Not online but in real life. The ups, the downs, the uncertainty, and utterly ridiculous communications from who really knows that scream SCAM, PHISHING, Do Not Open or Reply. Messages sent & then contradicted or vanished.

Stop with the “unexpectedly”. Second headline today. Come the morning of November 6, 2025, it was expected by anyone with any intelligence that this country was going to spiral down into a shitshow come January 20, 2025. And here we are.

When riding around FC I am usually impressed that there is usually another option a block or two away. Gridded streets, connectivity, and all that. Then I go south of Harmony (or Horsetooth). Connect this enclave or subdivision with others? Nope. One way in & out. Drivers race through the maze.

Just timely and obedient compliance to the authoritarian regime.

Trying to picture the absolute CF that Clifton Road through Emory campus in Atlanta would become if every employee showed up at once, just before 8am, whether that was their duty station or not. Who can be sure? Hundreds of vehicles lined up at the security gates and out onto surrounding streets….

If you’ve ever gone to the rodeo you are aware that the bull sometimes is distracted by the clown while the true root of his discomfort and distress gets away ungored - not an ancient proverb but something I thought of in the shower this afternoon

The preliminary investigation results were apparently announced at a press conference by the head of the military, an expert on helicopter direction of travel options, and knower of all things: it was the fault of DEI.
