@mccainjack.bsky.social I’m watching you on Face The Nation. YOU ARE YOUR FATHER’S SON!!

Although you are young, you would be ten times better than the DUI Hire as SECDEF. For starters, you listen. Second, you’ve absorbed your parents wisdom.

@briansully.bsky.social YES, you two should do the Exchange and Power Lunch on a major conference trip. Jackson Hole would be great for you two…and the kids, Kelly!

PS Brian, get Kelly on Bluesky. She’s my last reason I stay on Elmo Muskmelon’s platform.

@marklemley.bsky.social Sir, I’m a retired Army officer, and a union member from my final job in the IRS. Should Federal Civilian retirees consider joining the SSN theft suit? Should Armed Forces members and retirees?

Thank you, yea or nay. Knowledge is power, when shared.

Breaking on CNBC

CNBC reporting OPM is offering CS buyouts.

Leave now, get pay and benefits to 30 Sept.

UNKNOWNS:
— Is this Executive Branch wide?
— Can people tie this into civil service retirement?
— Is there a # s cap on the offer?
— Is there a limit on pay grade?

@mg1986smitht.bsky.social and all: What I am seeing this administration do feels like 1935 in Germany. My heart weeps.

She is right
Things that are legal aren’t always automatically fair, moral or ethical. Real life has a lot of gray areas.

@morewithmichelle.bsky.social Good morning!

I just advised a friend, pick the battles with Trump’s policies with care… there are too many bad ones to spend emotional energy on all!

There is a clarinetist you should follow over on instagram: Selin Gurol. She’s amazing. She performs classical, other nations music (she’s great at several South American genres), and jazz! AND, she dances to the beat!

@mg1986smitht.bsky.social I hate to tell Professor Cohen this, but situational awareness has been part of life for Moms and Dads since the 1970s.

A wonderful 2025 to you, may we who are retired speak for our serving comrades in arms!

@joycedidonato.bsky.social a blessed, wonderful, teaching/mentoring and performing 2025 be with you.

@joycedidonato.bsky.social , please put recovery from the winter crud for Audra McDonald in your prayers. A dear friend of ours, in NYC, reports performances of GYPSY have been cancelled.
