Honestly, your departure from CBS sucks. Thank you, John. Many of us appreciate you and Maurice.

@ekane98.bsky.social ICYMI: probably an accurate insight into what Trump wants to say to Pres. Zelinskyy.

I could not believe the Trump discussion with African leaders. How did the Liberian presdient learn English? Senegal's leader inviting him to build a golf course. Then the Nobel Peace Prize nomination. He's so easily flattered, but he's not going to lift tarriffs no matter how hard they try. 🙃

Thank you. I wish more Americans understood how passionate most of those in public service are about their work. Conducting it with fidelity and integrity is often unseen, but not unfelt by those who actually interact with feds,.

We are at a point when just asking and answering questions on how the law works is a threat to this administration. I see this as "Let's punish Christian kindness."

If you only know how many papers I had to write for Powell in 2002-3...literally the FMs of France, UK & him took turns for weeks, flying there to physically intervene. GE finally threatened an end to investment which was the tipping point to ending the standoff.

They are unreachable unless you can somehow disable Fox on his TV. My friend finally stopped talking about politics with her father and mother. However, she also told them they could not bring it it up. Her father found that hard, but he eventually saw the wisdom of it.

I was at an orientation for new diplomats in 1994 with a VP at the Heritage Society. The longer we listened, the more alarmed us centrists became. Upon return to FSI, one classmate said "when do conservative alternative ideas cross over into ideology?" The train tracks were laid out yrs ago.

🙄Got the right of it, George. I once got on a shuttle to New York with one cabinet secretary, one deputy secretary from a different agency, 3 national press reporters and one CEO pf a Fortune 500. We were all going to NY for different reasons, but people recognized each other.

For all the people who want to pull public funding from PBS & NPR or stop supporting them, stop it. NPR & PBS stations are one of the last places in the country to do local news stories. Turn off what you don't like, but don't cripple local news further by punishing stations.

I'm always surprised that some federal employees are shocked about what their vote for Trump woud mean to them. I know other federal employees who spoke to each other about Project 2025 for months. Guess these 2 did not pay attention during Trump's first term.

@robertgarcia.bsky.social Congessman, I have to agree with Mike. Thanks for what you are doing. I keep telling myself that this is the 'home of the brave'. My ancestors came from Holland 400 years ago, & others more recently in 1880s. If they had courage, then I have it too.
