Surprised that the regime is fudging stats re: customer service hold/wait/call back times at the Social Security Admin after the huge cuts? 🙄
"The agency’s 'average speed of answer' metric masks longer call wait times, according to data in a recent OIG report."

Let’s be very clear.
Trump has made it explicitly clear that Republicans are free to commit white collar crimes. Any of them.
Wire fraud. Bank fraud. Bribery. Election fraud. Tax fraud. Money laundering.
So long as you vote MAGA, you are free to commit those crimes now.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

1. obviously, you can call us. we'll try to fit you in considering ~everything~
2. go to MWELA.org. that's the plaintiff's employment bar association in the DMV. go to NELA.org nationally. search for lawyers who do federal work.

When I say that what's happening in DC isn't just political, it's about labor, this is what I mean. Note that this jobs report hits AFTER the spending/debt limit show down. Which is why looking ahead is really important right now, strategically
It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.
