One ought not to be surprised that this kid was allowed to wipe his snot on the Resolute Desk, given that his father was distractedly wiping his own ass with the Constitution.

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing?

DON'T DO IT.

If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT.

It’s important to demonstrate that we have *endless energy* for undoing all the fuckery.

Nothing will stick. If it could/would, they wouldn’t be trying to do it so fast.
I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

What could he possibly know about federal employment laws and regulations?

Oh.
To America’s 2.3 million federal employees:

Don’t accept a buyout.

Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer.

And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it?

Whereas “1 Scaramucci” was the average tenure of a Trump 1.0 official, I propose the term “Scaramucci-Elez Coefficient” to describe the rate of shrinkage in the average tenure of an official between the first and second Cheetoministrations.

IANAL, but 18 U.S. Code § 2441 explicitly authorizes you to punch Nazis in the face, I think?
this is real journalism
I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a “eugenic immigration policy,” and wrote, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity."

He just resigned. www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...

Oh. Ok, well then: I too would like read only access to the Treasury Payment Systems for… research and efficiency purposes. #TotallyLegit
It’s no surprise that Scott Bessent and Donald Trump want to save face and downplay the risks as Elon Musk seizes power, but the American people know better. Trump and Bessent are asking you not to believe what’s playing out right in front of your eyes.

2) Who got to tell him that he had to wear an ID badge?
3) Who was the poor schmuck who had to check his ID badge before letting him in?
