This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother.

I’m Jewish and the son of Jewish refugees who immigrated to America, so some might accuse me of seeing antisemitism where it doesn’t exist. So it’s sadly reassuring to see that the great historian Timothy Snyder saw the Oval Office debacle the way I did:

There is no government waste. I stand by that. Every dime spent is vital to somebody. Getting a gov grant is like pulling teeth. It’s never enough funding. Even our military has unmet needs. We don’t have a spending problem, we have a revenue problem. Not all of us are paying our fair share.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

I’m told US Capitol switchboard is swamped and that it’s better for us constituents to call rather than than emailing or writing a letter. Call and leave a message, talk to an intern, whatever is on offer, but the volume of communication, is noted and it matters. 202.224.3121 ☎️
