The Words Federal Agencies Are Discouraged From Using Under Trump (Gift Article) Federal agencies have issued guidance to employees on hundreds of terms to limit or avoid using. An analysis of government websites shows many of the same words being removed.

But you can say: "Grab 'em by the pussy." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

They can resign and get new jobs, like all the federal employees who were fired. When there are no Republicans left in Congress, there will be no one to threaten. Easy solution.

The fewer people in America the better, I always say. A fetus is good enough!

Goodbye to the WaPo with apologies to the reporters and Alexandra Petri.

So, no meds, no vaccines and poisoned food. What have I missed?

CDC source:

β€œWe just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff.

They are calling this β€˜Phase 1’.”

Same. Let me know if you find it.

Just rewatched Judgement at Nuremberg. We are no different.

Elizabeth Warren. Chris Murphy. There are a few of them.

Impeach this fucker and get him out of office. Get Vance out. Get Musk as far away from government as possible.

Why are they targeted? The wonderful character development? The ability to portray trauma so beautifully? The poetic prose? The lack of pornographic scenes and celebration of sexual assault?

Also, Elizabeth Warren.

Six impressive novels you might have missed in 2024 One of the things I like best about having a blog is a platform to make people aware of good books that flew under the radar.

Six impressive novels you might have missed in 2024 open.substack.com/pub/billwolf.... Thank you so much, Bill!

Without a paywall, the paper doesn't make money. Without money, they can't pay their writers and editors. Do you expect other professionals to work for free?

NONE OF WHOM. Also, run-on. He needs to take a remedial writing class. Just because he is a sociopath doesn't excuse his inability to express his sick musings coherently.

We should replace the Pledge of Allegiance with "Thoughts and Prayers."
