If @kaine.senate.gov, @markwarner.bsky.social or @beyer.house.gov don't introduce a bill to make Public Service Recognition Day a federal holiday after this nightmare is over, what are we even doing?

Feel free to attribute the following to a former OMB General Counsel: The supposed "new legal analysis" is, to use a technical legal term, horseshit. What the law actually says is that when Congress enacts a law ending a lapse, furloughed employees get paid at the earliest date possible. Period.
Johnson: "It's true that in previous shutdowns, many or most furloughed employees have been paid for the time they were furloughed, but there is new legal analysis - I don't know the details, I just saw a headline - but there are some legal analysts saying that might not be appropriate or necessary"

I cannot say this strongly enough --

If you are a member of the DC Bar, VOTE NOW for Diane Seltzer for president.
In addition to 22 Past Presidents of the D.C. Bar, and 22 Past Presidents of affinity or voluntary Bar Associations, these legal leaders, legal organizations, and voluntary Bar Associations endorse me to become President of the #DCBar.

I’m grateful for every single endorsement. Please vote.

Sen. Booker just quoted the Langston Hughes poem "Let America Be America Again"

"America never was America to me,
And yet I swear this oath—
America will be!"

Perhaps, just perhaps, emojis aren't appropriate when you're planning to bomb a country?

I have to go by “Elizabeth” instead of “Beth” at work now, because apparently nicknames are an attack on women. 🙄

"By seeking to combine two mismatched categories, the executive order misuses RIFs, misunderstands shutdown plans, and introduces political manipulation into what is meant to be an orderly process for winding down unneeded positions," writes @bridgetdooling.bsky.social.
Don’t Use Shutdown Plans to Slash the Federal Workforce
The administration’s misguided attempt to lay off employees who aren’t excepted from shutdowns.

The Department of Commerce expects to fire 20% of its workforce - that's almost 10k jobs evaporating.

Commentary: “While Trump’s government proudly touts its ‘savings,’ the reality is that DOGE’s cuts are built on lies, mismanagement, and outright cruelty.”
DOGE Is a Cruel Joke. The Punchline Is Making Life Hell for Veterans
Elon Musk and his so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are making reckless cuts that are devastating the lives of veterans.

Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business.

We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.
