They erased Harriet Tubman from the National Park Service
“Tubman’s photograph is now gone. In its place are images of Postal Service stamps that highlight “Black/White cooperation” in the secret network and that feature Tubman among abolitionists of both races.”

At 17:00 here. "The payment wasn't pending, it was in the account", then it was "reversed".

"It's sort of like when a credit card company reverses a charge" (WHAT?! Not how wires work?!)

Lander doesn't know which bank the account was with (seems important).

This morning, President Trump and his crony Elon Musk illegally seized $80M in congressionally-appropriated FEMA funding from NYC bank accounts.

Trump and Elon stole tens of millions of dollars straight from our bank accounts--this is highway robbery, and NY cannot take this lying down.
Trump admin claws back $80M given to NYC to house migrants — but comptroller calls it ‘highway robbery’
Millions in FEMA funds sent to New York City last week to help with the migrant crisis were clawed back Wednesday, officials said.

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

You just have to look at this to see what it is.

And if you’re explaining this away, then you’re an asshole and probably a colossal piece of shit.
