I like your analogy of comparing her to AOC. That's certainly encouraging. We need to have the newbies inject more energy into this Congress. I enjoyed listening to her speak.
Please get this word out. We have a lot of work to do quickly if we are going to do anything with the Epstein files once we have them.
America’s Blind Spot: Evidence Without Action
Thanks to Trump’s Executive Order 14251, intelligence and security personnel are barred from participating in labor-management relations programs, including collective bargaining. This means the following workers cannot negotiate wages, working conditions, or disciplinary procedures — allowing for politicization of the federal workforce and leaving few checks on executive power:
* Intelligence and counterintelligence personnel: Employees in agencies like the CIA, NSA, and certain divisions of the FBI
* Investigative and law enforcement roles: Workers focused on criminal investigations, internal affairs, or national security enforcement
* National security-focused subdivisions: Includes parts of the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Defense, and State Department that handle sensitive security matters
* Foreign service officers in security-sensitive roles: Those involved in diplomatic security or intelligence coordination abroad
* Policy-making or confidential advisory roles: Staff who advise senior officials on national security or classified matters
We’ve seen the consequences of this policy unfold with lightning speed — and now, the remaining good people in these positions have their hands tied to stop it.
Just like with the release of the Epstein files, there’s a discharge petition to reverse this: H.R. 2550. It has only 119 of the 218 signatures needed.
Meanwhile, the discharge petition to release the Epstein files has 217 signatures, with one more pending.
What good is evidence if the people who could act on it are silenced? Why don’t we have their backs? Why don’t we care about their civil rights in the first place?
If leadership is serious about accountability — they need to sign both discharge petitions. Together. At the same time.
GOOD NEWS UPDATE: As of late November 2025, the discharge petition for H.R. 2550 (Protect America’s Workforce Act) has successfully reached the required 218 signatures; House is now compelled to bring the bill forward for a vote. Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME), the lead sponsor, has indicated the bill could be called for a vote as early as December 2, 2025. FINGERS CROSSED IT PASSES THE HOUSE AND SENATE.
For what it’s worth, Jacqui, I must have needed to have read something else before reading your comment, because I came away totally confused about what you were trying to covey to your readers. It seems like you are either black or latin, but I’m not certain which of the two “Communities” you are speaking on behalf of. I am very interested in learning more about both of them! Whenever you post a comment, please always keep in mind that we are each a product of our individual life experiences; the only thing we know about you is what you tell us!
What is happening to The Latino community has BEEN happening to black people since1619! The exact SAME thing! We have experienced this exact same thing in our community. BUT NO ONE BELIEVED US! Now you see! Why didn’t we see this said for the attack on BLACK people! This has always been happening to Black People! We were exaggerating; “y’all must have done something; you know they’re so violent!” NOW YOU SEE!

Si se puede!
This little old white woman would cheer for a Latina in the White House. ¡Vamanos!
The modern definition of “3-D” =
Donald Destroys Democracy.

Where is America’s common sense?
LEADERSHIP MUST SIGN BOTH PETITIONS

All the dems need to stand together and not do anything till you get sworn in.
