This hasn’t gotten much attention, but it should. While everyone was focused on Schedule F, the administration created something even broader. On July 30, a new OPM rule took effect that creates a second way to fire federal employees outside the normal civil service process.

Dave Ramsey: A lot of people feel boxed out of the housing market now. We've got trillion dollar debt in cars and autos, trillion dollars in credit card debt, a trillion dollars almost, 2 trillion now in student loans and guess who's carrying that? These last two generations.

He also "planned" a working moon mission by 2024 & we're still in the "sometimes it doesn't crash" stage of that process. Stop reporting on any tech bro CEO's claims as if they are facts, especially in outlets connected to our shared collective hallucination called "the economy". CONTEXTUALIZE SHIT.

Frances Perkins was the patron saint of American workers and an inspiration for me during my time as labor secretary. She was the guiding light behind the creation of Social Security, the 40-hour workweek, the National Labor Relations Act, and much more.

Request to fellow Dems of all stripes: Let's keep our analyses of primary results positive, recognizing that we're all in this together. I've heard some poisonous stuff behind the scenes recently. It helps no one. A diverse party energized by new ideas, voters & candidates is what we need now.

Andrew Duehren: The IRS audits every president. It can audit you. It no longer audits Trump—because he used his control of the government to exempt himself. Immunity no other American has. This is call abuse of power.
