Trump administration says 4,108 workers have been fired since shutdown began

[slightlv]

2. Every single one of them should file a lawsuit against

trump and this administration for unlawful firing. Of course it won't go anywhere thanks to SCOTUS. But wrap trump up completely in paperwork and even initial trial dates. He may not do anything, but it'll eat at him mentally and emotionally and maybe stress his system out to that one last heartbeat we need.

I didn't want to retire from the DoD when I did... and I wouldn't have if they'd even met me halfway on my disability accommodations. But I've said recently I'm very glad the Universe worked as it did. I can see where my physical condition, not to mention my mental health, would have taken a bad downturn had I stayed. And, no doubt, I'd have been one of the first ones out the door with trumps "2nd term." But I still have friends there, and I worry about them. They're good at what they do; they carry a hell of a lot of institutional knowledge, and they care about doing right by their clients. IOW, they're exactly the kind of people trump *doesn't* want working in government. (sigh)
