Phyllis Fong, a 22-year veteran of the department, had earlier told colleagues that she intended to stay after the White House terminated her on Friday, saying that she didn’t believe the administration had followed proper protocols, the sources said.
In an email to colleagues on Saturday, reviewed by Reuters, she said the independent council of the inspectors general on integrity and efficiency “has taken the position that these termination notices do not comply with the requirements set out in law and therefore are not effective at this time”.
Man, that’s a grade A beef. Or wait, is it? This keeps happening and how the hell are we going to know!?
[Yes, I’m making cheap jokes as the U.S crumbles. Yes, I feel this is necessary.]
Respect to anyone fighting back or pushing back against Trump.
Is this why their website was down?
Edit: is down
No. It’s down so they can remove any and all mention of bird flu because that’s what’s making eggs expensive.
Eggs have been getting expensive before that. All animal products will continue to increase in price because of how inefficient they are.
Fortunately humans don’t need to eat eggs
FOUND THE VEGAN!
Getting rid of oversight and transparency is the first step to stealing. A grifters typical move.
Good for her.
Build union power, mass strike action is a necessity and the only way to prove who runs the country.
They would just all be terminated. They don’t seem to care if the government functions or not.
I’m talking broadly, US unions should be showing solidarity to government workers getting fired and put in place mass strike action. So employment in any and all industries necessitates union membership. That is union power.
This the plan. No government -> no regulations. No regulations -> no lube. No lube -> the US citizenry’s anus. Gaping, flaccid, prolapsed US citizenry’s anus’ -> corporate profits.
Metaphorically speaking of course.
lmao
The amount of corruption will definitely turn the USA into another China and Russia. Wake up Congress! This is under your watch.
They want to turn western countries also into narcissistic shitholes. It seems like billionaires have power already, not congress
I’m sorry, but civil war may be useless considering that there are few of us liberals. But I would not want to be a slave under some psychopath “czar” or for US to become a dictatorship.
I do not promote violence though, and I’m afraid that after revolution there will be just another dictator. It’s common for the most countries. And I’m scared of violence.
P.S. I reject “anti-capitalists”/socialists, anarchists, communists, far-left and other similar BS.
The current majority of Congress not only enabled this; they want this.
They certainly want whatever their donors want.
Escorted out by whom? Who marched into a government building to follow this illegal order?
Whoever did it had qualified immunity, without a doubt. Better off not resisting there.
The ss
Oh I see why they fired her. She’s not a white guy kidding Trump’s ass.
She had the gall to try to inspect Neuralink so obviously she had to go.
That’s a paladin.
Fucking Paladins always bubble and heal
Wait, did you mean a paddlin, or a paladin? Funy either way, but they both paint completely different pictures in my head.
Yes.
I suppose a paladin is a religious warrior. Not too far off from Trump’s cultist J6 mob. And the motherfucker just reset the cooldown on their bubbles.
Remember kids, it’s not cheating if you run the server. Just ask spez (warning…links to his website…the TIFU from 8 years ago, that hits way harder to a modern reader)
The USDA office staff should’ve barricaded the building to keep the jackbooted thugs out.
That is the level of resistance we need to be at, at this point.
They should’ve, yet they didn’t. All this 2A stuff Americans have been hyping up for decades has really just been a pose this whole time. All a bluff, and now that the fascists are not only within their shores, but in the highest offices of power? It is a beyond imaginably fucked situation right now, even with all this controversy it doesn’t resemble a fraction of how alarmed we should all be. There needs to be a mass panic, or people need to act RIGHT NOW.
American here, and what you wrote sounds pretty good on the surface. The problem is that the nutty vocal 2A fanatics are the exact people who delighted in putting the fascists in charge.
These cosplaying-few day old accounts need to get a life. Love how much you’ve distorted the reality of the situation thinking the 2A crowd is the same ones declaring fascists are in charge now. Please tell us more how an individual should put themselves into harms-way while you type behind your brave keyboard.
The lady refused to leave her post till forcefully removed, same action as a sit-in which was effective as a peaceful demonstration of a protest during the civil rights era. The fact that you’re telling people to arm up in a government building makes me think you’re just another Jan 6’er or watch way too much entertainment thinking it’s facts.
Please tell us more how an individual should put themselves into harms-way while you type behind your brave keyboard.
I took a brick to the knee standing up against the UK fascists that went running around doing pogroms. I’d take a million more too. What are you doing to stand up against fascism? Show up to work on time?
I’m just seeing and hearing Blinken saying ‘respect the process’ as goons illegally drag this woman from her office.
Phyllis Fong is a badass then 💪
Mother fucking super hero
The White House defended the firing of Fong and the other inspectors general, saying “these rogue, partisan bureaucrats … have been relieved of their duties in order to make room for qualified individuals who will uphold the rule of law and protect Democracy.”
They really have the doublespeak down.
rogue, partisan = nonpartisan
qualified = sycophantic
uphold the rule of law and protect Democracy = ride Trump’s cock
Good for her. Step one in resistance is not just complying with illegal orders. A step the news organizations have been woefully failing at. “[T]he White House terminated her” just assumes correctness and ability. They’ll “allege” a crime that was recorded and broadcast to the public, but just accept Trump’s framing of actions that are plainly illegal.
