Hey folks, casual tik-tok scrolling coughed up this fun little tidbit. For those of you worried about ICE's new GLOVES, go buy a super soaker, the manufacturer recommends keeping them out of water, especially salt water. Spread the word.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... So, we can't arrest anyone from the Epstein files, and January 6th terrorists get pardoned, but these people got 50 to 100-year sentences for attending a protest. I'm happy I put in for retirement on Thursday.

This is what is happening at the IRS. IT employees are being moved to phones and told it's a 120-day detail. As this Reddit poster explains, why would you train employees for 13 weeks just to put them in their original job? Just more lies. They should be honest and tell these people the truth.

Reddit post from IRS employee. Just be honest!!
Can management PLEASE just be honest with us for once? We get pulled out of our careers after decades by no fault of our own. Then you tell us to work on training and update our resumes. So we do that! We’re taking training in AI, business analytics, whatever we think will better our future. We update our resumes because you tell us that management is committed to placing us in MEANINGFUL and important positions that match our skills. Now we get FORCED into GS-7 tax analysis and CSR roles being told it’s a 120 day detail. Except training is 13 weeks long!!! Yeah ok so we will work for 3 weeks? No one is buying that. Be honest!! We are human beings

We have families. We have planned leave. We have medical appointments. Our kids have spring break and after school activities. We have other obligations. You’re messing with our schedules. Our lives. We need to move on and can’t do that if you keep stringing us along. We should accept that our careers are over and seek other employment? You’re using us because too many people quit because they were told they weren’t needed and should go find meaningful work in the private sector. Now tax season is at risk and we are being used as property to save the tax season. no one is looking at our resumes right? Just BE HONEST.

www.govexec.com/management/2... Please do not call this filing season and yell at the CSR on the phone. Some of them are being pulled from IT and human resources to fill in and have NO experience doing that job, and did not volunteer but are being forced to staff phones or process returns.
