EVERY SINGLE DEM IN CONGRESS should be out there in front of a camera, raging, proving that they're as angry as I am. They should be speaking to all Americans about what is taking place and WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT. They need to FIGHT. And by FIGHT, I mean NOW.

I am begging every Democratic committee, PAC, and candidate to get control of your damn email program right now and stop sending tone deaf fundraising emails that have nothing to do with what's happening. Stop listening to focus groups from a month ago. Stop the 2 approved talking points.

Glad to see federal workers didn’t take that bribe.
Axios is reporting ~1% of federal workers have taken the OPM "trust us, it'll be fine" offer. Their goal was 5-10%. Normal government attrition every year is 6% (many of these people taking it might have been planning to retire anyway) www.axios.com/2025/02/04/t...
Scoop: 20,000 federal workers have taken buyout offer, official says
It's about 1% of the federal workforce, and the offer's still open through Thursday.
