Some federal workers are going back to work.

The USDA has been ordered to temporarily give over 5,000 workers their jobs back.

Dozens of CDC scientists have been reinstated after being illegally fired.

The National Science Foundation has rehired half of the workers it fired.

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:

If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting.

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Over 120,000 Japanese Americans forced into imprisonment in internment camps simply because they were of Japanese heritage.
On this Day of Remembrance, we honor the 120,000 Japanese Americans unjustly imprisoned during WWII because of their heritage. Their resilience remind us to never forget the lessons of history. We will continue to fight for justice, equality, and civil rights for all.
