People aren’t easy talking about politics. We all have different points of view and a right to them but there are things happening that are wrong and I finally felalt a need to express my fears. If you voted for Trump you might want to rethink that decision the next time you have a choice. The administration has given a green light for the Office of Management and Budget to use essentially blackmail to force individuals to resign. They have issued a probably illegal offer to resign with pay (maybe) until Sept or else risk getting laidoff. If that is not blackmail I don’t know what is. The speed and ease at which it was presented has caused huge anxiety and fear among thousands of folks, many of whom do jobs that benefit all of us. The order was written by Elon Musk and is essentially what he did at Twitter (X). Elon was never elected and the organization that he is in charge of is not a government agency and he is not a government employee. I find it terrify. Several courageous judges are doing what are legislatures does not seem to be able to do and putting temporary holds on some of these executive decisions. I go to sleep at night hoping that both political parties will show some common sense and stand up to these very UNAmerican tactics.
