Ben, I wish you would have some fired federal workers on your show from the various agencies to explain their jobs & why they are so important. Especially those involved with safety like NIOSH, EPA, FDA, & many others. Musk did so much damage to these people's lives and to our country. I so appreciate your network. I never miss any of your content from YouTube & Substack.

Ive thought this MANY times...the only problem is the sycophants. They will target the ex-federal workers for speaking ill of the 🍊👿.

The people cannot be afraid forever. Remember that bullies are basically wimps. IIf one comes forward to speek...others may follow.

They are out protesting now.......it must be so tramatizing. Orange is such a stinking piece of s#i%.

I refuse to be afraid. Because I can't be sure of who's standing next to me in public, I make sure that they know who I am. I literally wear my heart and mind on my lapels. On my bags and on my chest. Ally pins, tees, ACLU gear, I Read Banned Books, on and on. We all should do.

Trump's mental/emotional condition is much more than cognitive decline: See this link for understanding: https://www.thewaywesee.com/confrontchristiannationalism/the-achilles-heel-of-christian-nationalism/

Absolutley. I'm a clinician and athiest. I confirm that he is cognitively unfit and always has been, Had he not been born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and or of a different generation, he'd have several diagnosis. Eugenics, white nationalism, and most FEAR of a "black planet" drive these incels because the myth of white supremacy has forever been dispelled. Not just because white males are not superior to POC, they are not superior to women, immigrants the LGBTQIA plus community, the differently abled and so on. They are scared shytless, and well they should be because, NON OF THEM/US are going back. This will be their last flail.

I’m sure there are fired federal employees who have moved on, and don’t feel “at risk!” But…with the recent “undefined” senate vote to make it legal to deport US citizens, and the recently deported citizen children, it’s hard to NOT say…anything could happen.

EXACTLY. Question is easy, "What might a person notice if you're not around to do your job?" No answers, "Nobody to answer a phone" allowed. Specific consequences are needed and voters need to personalize the situations.

Don’t leave out the scientists whose funding is being cut. They need to talk about their research on health, climate, pollution, etc.
