In reply to an NTSB job posting on LinkedIn, I made the following comment:
“I have the highest respect for the NTSB and the work that it does, but why would anyone want to hire on with the federal government now? More downsizing is sure to come and last hired will be the first fired as we have seen over the last two weeks. Good luck filling these necessary positions.”

LET'S TRACK THE WHITE HOUSE
We're expanding our mission if we can get enough subscribers for a new newsletter tracking executive orders, DOGE, and other major official actions coming from the President and their appointees.
Just as we do for Congress, we’ll cut through the bravado and hyperbole: This is a project about what your government is actually doing.
Plus, you can get a t-shirt.
Please back our project and share!
