Hatch Act has no teeth, so what is the actual point

Abbi Lichtenstein @abbij1961.bsky.social · 1d

This administration keeps torching the Hatch Act—propaganda videos in airports, partisan emails on federal servers, even mass firings. It’s corruption with a flag pin. See something? Say something. Expose it through the whistleblower tip line.

But i’m not fired, i still have a job. If they do give me back pay, I assume I have to give the ui back? This is very complicated

@GBDinExile, but also spooky @gbdawkins.bsky.social · 13h

Wait, can I get unemployment when i’m furloughed? I’m supposed to get back pay but there’s talk of no, so

She gets all the flowers. I mean ALL of them. If we see her, we immediately have to give her flowers.

Fed work: pay is lowish, but trade-off is stability.

My ass.

Furlough starts Monday. Big Fun to cash out a 401K to live so I can die at my desk.

Uhm, I’ve been there. It’s not a sports bar. There’s one pool table (where my client killed a man but that isnt the point)

A Mobile late-night sports bar that police say has been a chronic source of crime could soon lose its business license.

I am about to spend a comically large amount of money on the LA Bar & Prep course. Nothing gives me more anxiety than spending a paycheck on anything.
