Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Dutton says advice on Darwin Port has changed since he was defence minister
By Maani Truu

Peter Dutton revealed he disagreed with advice he received as defence minister that there was no need to act on Darwin Port being leased to a Chinese-owned company, as he announced he would now return the port to Australian ownership if elected.

Do you think I could go on Love Island and keep my government job?

Sorry, this post is going to be a bit random in light of all the serious issues going on right now. Basically, I work for the federal government and have a clearance, but I’ve been seeing videos about applying to Love Island recently and am honestly really interested in doing it. Hypothetically, let’s say I get on the show - ideally I would like to either come back to my current role or apply to be an agent (non-agency specific) within the next year - do you think there is any way I could make it work?

We’re not even allowed to go to the bathroom anymore!

Any other office/ agency lose their access to the bathroom? Is this part of the RIF procedures? LOL Apparently, our bathroom locks were changed overnight. Now, we have to find the cleaning lady to let us in the bathroom. WTF! How low can this administration go? 🤦🏻‍♀️

"Authoritarians want us to feel hopeless and helpless. It’s up to us to show them that we will not submit quietly and that we believe in struggle and collective action. Like Sen. Booker, each one of us can do something, using the spaces and means we have, to meet this moment with the same resilient and resolute spirit he showed on the Senate floor."

Lucid · What Sen. Booker’s Speech Teaches Us About Effective Resistance StrategyBy Ruth Ben-Ghiat

"The GOP has long given up on winning over voters by demonstrating that it knows best how to make the government work for people; as I’ve noted previously, the notion that there are even 'Republican lawmakers' anymore is a quaint myth."

Put yourself first - you’re the only one who will. Fork 2.0

I understand the guilt associated with walking away from a job in public service especially right now. It goes against our nature - we as public servants are often putting the needs of the public and the vital resources we manage ahead of our own needs as humans.And the public needs us right now - more than ever. That being said - taking the DRP or VERA/VSIP is a choice that some folks feel selfish making. Be selfish. Put yourself first. No one else will. Your coworkers, your supervisor, your manager, your SES - even those among them who are filled with kindness and compassion - they will put mission delivery, regulatory and statutory compliance, and critical functions above the human element if push comes to shove because they have to shield the core functions of organizations as much as they can.No one else will put a roof over your head, no one else can put food on your table, and no one else can manage your own mental and physical health. If taking the Fork2.0 represents an off-ramp to stability in providing any of your base hierarchal needs - take it and take it with minimal guilt.

Our remote Trumper Couldn’t Hack RTO

After our agency implemented RTO, our loud remote Trumper returned to the office full time and very vocal in his support for the administration. Boomer didn’t even last a full week before he was trying to wiggle his way into a new telework agreement 😅 It’s amazing, the same obnoxious guy who complains about “those younger generations not wanting to work” is the laughing stock of the office and he has no clue. Great entertainment for our after hours meet ups.

How much money would be saved if we all just stayed remote?

Why is no one talking about this. I know the point is not to save money and to make our lives miserable, but if you're painting the picture of "efficiency" shouldn't this be a part of it. The overhead costs of rent space, inspections, water, electricity, gas, parking passes..someone smarter than me run the numbers. Not to mention the productivity would be HIGHER!Better service for the public, better employees, happier employees. OR OR..if you're ready this 🐕 You can offer people that want to stay remote a pay cut so you look like an efficiency god.

Fired twice, brought back three times

I was a probationary employee who was terminated then unterminated, then RIF'd and now they are ordering me back to help complete the "transition" Am on admin leave through 6/2. I have no intention of being yanked around anymore. How do I resign? I understand that I'll forfeit my admin leave and (tiny) severance. It's worth it to be free of this disaster. Was told I'd be "fired for cause" if I didn't come back so can I return and then resign that day? I'm fairly new to federal service. This is bananas.

We've all talked about the potential strategic and economic ramifications for Australia of Trump's America First policies. Well, they are now happening. And the whole world will never be the same.

Rumors about Elon Musk leaving DOGE were just a distraction—likely spread to prop up the stock after Tesla posted its worst delivery numbers in years and to prevent a potential free fall. Great job to everyone supporting the Tesla boycott!
