By MoveOn Executive Director Rahna Epting Let’s face it: We’ve got a lot of work to do to fight back against a second Donald Trump term. Those of us who were working to stop Trump simply did not turn out enough votes in enough states to win the White House. While we are processing and preparing for the grave implications of Trump’s return, this reality requires us to do serious, sober reflection about how we arrived here and show creativity and curiosity in charting the path forward.  There is still…

Take, Time, It's, 'garbage'0 comment

Garbage. Hitler. Low IQ. Fascist. Gross incompetent. Unstable. Obsessed. How elegant our political speech has become. It all sounds like an electronic toy we had in the house when the kids were little. You pushed a button on the Insultinator, and it would emit from a library of words, a rude sentence.

A pair of senators is looking to get feds back to the office even more. If enacted, the Back to Work Act would require federal employees to spend 60% of their work hours in the office. It would mean a slight increase from the current in-person policy at many agencies, right now at about 50% in-the-office. Lawmakers say the bill is a way to address federal office space concerns, while still allowing for *some telework flexibility. Under the legislation, agencies would also have to monitor teleworking employees. They’d also have…
