Federal Workers: New York Wants You!
DOGE Says You're Fired? We Say: You're Hired!
In the weeks since the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, began eliminating jobs, state and local governments have been actively recruiting federal workers impacted by the Trump administrations effort to dramatically reduce the federal work force.
Hawaii is fast-tracking job applications. Virginia started a website advertising its job market. Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania signed an executive order aimed at attracting federal employees to the states 5,600 critical vacancies in the state government. Both New Mexico and Maryland announced expanded resources and agencies to help federal workers shift into new careers in the state, and Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York is encouraging people to come work in the greatest state in the nation.
State governments have begun competing to attract those federal employees to unfilled state roles. The effort also has political overtones, with states run by Democrats leading the charge.
If the Trump administration turned you away, Minnesota wants you, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota said.

Response from "Mask Wearing Doggie"
A few words of comfort and humor
from Dave Zirin, sports editor of The Nation magazine

If you are at your lowest please remember: all of these fascist Trump bootlickers in DC have to eat in DC restaurants with food prepared by DC chefs and served by DC waiters. By year's end that twisted scumbag Russell V0ught will have swallowed more saliva than two 14 year olds in love.
Response from "Mask Wearing Doggie"
This does also remind me of 2017, when we learned of all the swinging male bachelors who moved to DC to work with the new administration. Typically, the bachelors of any new administration, D or R, can count on getting laid a lot.
But in 2017, NOPE. Women were "no way."
I'll bet it's worse now.
