Yo resisters - some math.
If 11,000 employees with an average of 23 years of service leave an agency, all at once, thatβs ~250,000 YEARS of institutional knowledge lost. Forever.
A QUARTER OF A MILLION YEARS OF USACE EXPERIENCE GONE!
AND THATS JUST ONE AGENCY!
Be pissed. #resist
America, you f**ked up!
She warned us. She had a plan that would have benefited everyday Americans. But too many ignored herβbecause it was never really about the economy.
Now folks are scared, strugglingβand weβre cooked.

Three minutes from me on why the Trump tariff βBrexit dividendβ idea is the weirdest take of the year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c98A...
After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.
Itβs well known that I was on The Apprentice. We were all covered by NDAs at the time, but mine has now expired. And do I ever have some tea to spill. Iβll post it later today after consulting once again with my attorneys.

Boris Johnson and co did similar stuff during the pandemic. That's why our COVID inquiry has been going on for so long. They deleted their WhatsApp conversations deliberately. But stuff still leaked.
Some humour for our lovely @alt-usace.bsky.social people.

Yay!!! A federal appeals panel denied the Trump administrationβs request for a pause in the rehiring of probationary workers who were fired illegally.
Fellow feds - if youβre being directed to destroy records, report it to the National Archives Office of Records Management Oversight and Reporting. www.archives.gov/records-mgmt...
βThe first people a dictator puts in jail after a coup are the writers, the teachers, the librarians βbecause these people are dangerous. They have enough vocabulary to recognize injustice and to speak out loudly about it. Let us have the courage to go on being dangerous people.β

IRS employees are the people who fund the GOV, by collecting your tax dollars.
Money collected that funds
Social Security
Medicare
Medicaid
Defense
Foreign Policy (State USAID)
Veterans Administration and Healthcare
You fire us, the gov doesn't work.

Iβm so tired of hearing Rubio & other rightwingers now claiming that if youβre on a green card youβre a βguestβ in this country. BS. Youβre a lawful permanent resident. The clue is in the name. If someone is a permanent resident in your home, are they the same as the guests who come and go? Come on.
Off to the white house to do a little mango peeling?
