Q for anyone who works at the VA:
Has the VA secretary or leadership said anything internally addressing the fucking elephant in the room that one of their VA colleagues was just shot to death by a federal agent?
Hearing from one source it's been a cone of silence in there, no comms to staff.

Trump's promise to "run" Venezuela suggests a huge task for the State Department — which he + Rubio have decimated. Personnel at State, particularly the key Western Hemisphere Affairs bureau, are already stunned, anxious and saying they are badly under-prepared, a former State official tells me.

We received our first counterproposals from management today with disappointing language — including no guaranteed wage increases this year and rollbacks of hard-fought language on diversity and severance. We stand united and ready to fight for the contract we deserve.

Not coincidentally this is a pretty good list of Most Important Companies to Unionize.
The Boston Globe identified the companies in Massachusetts that employ the most SNAP recipients. A key stat: "In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are employed, half of them full-time."
