The best part of hosting @STAFFERShow is hearing the stories behind careers in public service.

On a day when thousands are being laid off at the U.S. Department of Education, the loss of expertise, experience, and patriotism of dedicated public servants is very much on my mind. Unfortunately, bad process generally leads to bad outcomes.
COURIER@CourierNewsroom
"Serving one’s country or state or community as a staffer is not only noble, it’s important." For COURIER, @JimPapa10 unpacks the dangers of DOGE – and how we are essentially "giving ourselves a lobotomy." couriernewsroom.com/news/jim-papa-…

Serving one’s country, state or community is noble & important work. Staffers are a deep resource of expertise, skill & patriotism. They are scaffolding that helps keep our democracy upright. We can do better than the DOGE process.
