@RonFilipkowski Pure, unadulterated, shameless rubbish.

God has sent another message to Eric Trump’s prophet, Julie Green. Apparently, Fauci, Biden, Nancy, Mitch, Chuck, Hillary, Zelensky, Trudeau, Macron & Gates are plotting to take over the world, depopulate most of it, then enslave the rest.

@roxannelwright @BillBlair @nytimes This is a reminder why we need a non-partisan and professional public service to ensure legitimacy in our public institutions. This officer has done a major disservice and should be terminated.

Heading to the NASPAA conference this week with C. MacQuarrie @camacq to present on Indig reconciliation. Should be fun!

@ceejaypj @camacq We should recognize the great work of the IPAC staff as well! Without them, there would be no conference.

Great comments from the federal clerk that public servants owe candor and evidence to our political decision makers. @IPAC_IAPC #IPAC2017
