As you can imagine (as a USDS alum) I have some thoughts about this. I'm processing, and trying to get some different perspectives. In the meantime (as someone who spent years improving service-delivery in gov) here are the operational ?s currently on my mind… qz.com/trump-americ...

Thousands of dedicated federal workers have been pushed out, and now many are still fighting to find jobs in one of the toughest markets in years. Public service was never meant to be a political tool. We serve the American people...not just one party, and certainly not a king.

Reading his book now…there really is no way to describe it. The fact that we-Congress, SCOTUS, media, etc, let it happen. The audacity & ease of how they did this across government is scary bc it’s obvious that nothing has been done to address it; but what do u do when existing laws aren’t enforced?

(5/?) The active duty portion of the CG has been receiving paychecks during this DHS shutdown. But no one seems to know how or why, not even top level leadership for the service. Every paycheck is a new waiting game to see whether this time is the time that it won't come. This is a huge stressor.

I’m not a laws of war expert but it’s my impression that just the threat to commit genocide is a war crime. Threatening to destroy a civilization is a war crime, whether or not you carry through. Not that the sort of people who support Trump care.

DOGE had a culture of blatant disregard for the law & somehow still increased government spending. If true, this another example of their reckless leadership putting millions of Americans at risk. We deserve secure systems, data guardrails, and federal workers empowered to protect our privacy.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
