USDA and Dept of Education cancelled all work from home programs last week..just like that...

My pal Margaret works for the USDA, I separated from them in 1993. She was in D.C. all week. I asked what's new? The USDA and Education Depts told them Friday nobody can work from home anymore, they simply stopped it . Margaret said morale is very low and many are quitting....and of course that is just what Trump wants...chaos......

I am so livid at the people I know who voted for this vile, contemptible man, I've had to stay out of touch. A few have shown remorse. The others are doubling down.

And they're doing this right in the middle of the most intense period of SafeTrack, when the local subway has multiple segments closed for capital improvements. (Even Metro says "don't take Metro if you have any other way to get to work" right now.)

Death by a thousand cuts.

how is an authoritarian in an empty office supposed to feel powerful, superior, in control of everything?
