There is no Department of War.
There is no Trump Institute of Peace.
It’s still The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.
These things are named by statute.
If you believe, as I do, in our Constitution, then you must not normalize power grabs like this, no matter how stupid.

Every location has a picket line in front of it. Don’t cross the line.
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Feds have to take hours of training on identifying and properly deleting email that looks like spam. Reinstate him and give him a bonus for paying attention.

are you telling me I can just request gifts from a throwaway email account

The request for a gift for King Charles came from a State Department liaison who used the email address “giftgirl2025” and initially told the museum that they were looking for “like a sword or something,” according to a person familiar with the discussions.

I can't remember the details, and can't find them now, for my favorite Robert Redford anecdote, but: When Indecent Proposal was being discussed, someone asked a film critic if she would sleep with Robert Redford for $1 million, and she replied, "Yes, but where would I get the money?"

In case anyone is in doubt, this is terrible for not only the employees, but the quality of service taxpayers receive.
President Trump has ended collective bargaining rights for more than 1 million federal workers. Unions have sued to block the move, but agencies are terminating contracts as litigation continues.
