AFGE National President Everett Kelley: “These firings are not about poor performance – there is no evidence these employees were anything but dedicated public servants. They are about power"
@CBands_ Agreed. Folks are hot, tired, hungry, and still have to get home when it's all done. I've been to it a couple times in the past - it's intense once the fireworks are over - everyone starts heading for the subway at the same time.
@SuzyCrmchz@PeteHegsLiver I know - I'm not there (thank God) but I was outraged when I heard they're going to make all those people wait through him speaking before they can see the fireworks - they are hot, tired, and still have to get their butts home!
@amyhess The beauty of not being there in person is you can just tune in when he's done to see the real show. I hear they're trying to break the world record on fireworks shows...!
@RealFrankFromFL Haha that's pretty cool! When I was a kid in CA, we could go across the street into our neighbor's hilltop backyard and see the Disneyland fireworks from 2 cities away (roughly 10 miles).
Rejecting corruption and corporate influence over Congress. A Day of Reckoning is on the horizon, where the people's votes will repudiate the corruption and cruelty of the current administration: https://t.co/gjuMTr8tkA
https://t.co/b73pExMpdo Donald Trump said he is entitled to another 5 seats. Politicians and political parties aren't entitled to anything, except to win the trust and respect of their constituents. And if they can't do that honestly in fair contest, they deserve nothing.
An excerpt from an article the day after 9/11. We need to remember our enemies are ordinary people with the same hopes, dreams, and fears we have. We should all care about each other because at the end of the day, we all share a common fate.
You're trying to tell me this guy is a dictator? @ZelenskyyUa, the guy who refused to leave Kyiv when the bombs started falling and his life was in serious jeopardy? @ZelenskyyUa, the guy who continues to urge the world to forge a "just peace?"
This is just a colossal waste of American investment in developing the next generation of the government workforce. None of these people will ever want to work for the federal government again, and they will evangelize to all their friends and family what a bad idea that is.

So... our national strategy is to mass-fire promising young people -the future of our country- and whom the government has spent years and how much money hiring and training. And this robbing of past investments in them should save us money now?
“Agencies have spent years recruiting and developing the next generation of public servants. By firing them en masse, this administration is throwing away the very talent that agencies need to function effectively in the years ahead.”
