Maybe they’re starting to come around. Intense Teams meeting this morning re: the agency’s tightening of reasonable accommodation approvals and review. Many colleagues are anxious, and understandably so.
Still, can’t help but feel some schadenfreude for the “Never Kamala” crowd. AITA???

I was hoping to stay off SM today. Guess the universe had other ideas.
Absolutely mind boggling the hubris to say nothing classified was discussed. All of those involved should be fired/courtmartialed and charged criminally.

Not a huge WSJ fan, but this article is superior to the one I saw from ABC.
That said, it’s clear FOTUS and VFOTUS’ egos are writing checks our bodies can’t cash.

In light of the atrocities committed by members of city and county government in and around Coeur d’Alene, I call upon @ironmantri to denounce under no uncertain terms the violence perpetuated by agents of the government and chilling repression of First Amendment rights against Dr. Borrenpohl.

Just curious, but what do these so-called Republican Christian defenders think that Jesus guy meant when he said it’s impossible for rich people to go to heaven?

So some in my agency have been dismissed this week. Long Teams meeting and people are bloody panicky, though one person said the changes are welcomed. That person would probably have made the striped pajamas, I’m thinking. 🤔
Glad I know whom to avoid, I suppose.

Instant block to anyone praising Mitch McConnell for voting against a few of Trump's picks.
There's no one person more responsible for Trump getting back to the WH than McConnell. This hypocrite stood on the Senate floor & admitted Trump is wholly responsible for Jan 6—then refused to convict him.

I refuse to believe there isn’t one GOP politician who regrets they have only one life to live for their country. And Dem “leadership” sure isn’t taking the lead on anything.
Happy Monday. 😒

On Friday, President Donald Trump issued an executive order “protecting Second Amendment rights.” The order calls for Attorney General Pam Bondi to examine all gun regulations in the U.S.
