"A friend at NCI lost 3 outstanding staff (their words) and tweeted about it. She was suspended for 2 days. No idea how her tweet was flagged."

Is the plan to keep our heads down and hope this passes?

For people always talking about free speech, using the power of the Federal budget to suppress language they don't like seems about par for the course.

Still not seeing the corruption. Just a lot of unemployed Park Rangers, Aid Workers, and Medical Researchers.

Hopefully it's a bit more friendly of a place.
