Can a new (lawful, not lawless) administration roll these measures back, so those who have been forced to sign NDA’s can talk? We need to fully expose what is happening if we are to prevent it from ever happening again.

I’ve decided to upgrade because $6 a month is doable as long as my Social Security continues to arrive. The horrible details of our destruction must be exposed. Thank you, Miles, for getting into the weeds.

How can we bring enough attention to this while there is time? I know we will talk more here.

As Orange Blob feels increasingly less powerful, expect more of this type of despicable behavior. Why is nobody talking about how to deal with Russell Vought (he's OMB head and Nazi-assistant to little Stephen "Cuck" Miller) after this regime is gone?

You are absolutely right. The moving demons are working as the wheels of powerful administrative departments. Russell Vought is one of the authors of Project 2025, the roadmap to decimating our democratic republic into a kleptocracy.

It's corruption, (stupid)...

When corporate $ is speech, armed violent insurrectionists are compensated from a taxpayer fund, presidential corruption is immunized by SCOTUS, the DOJ’s prosecutorial focus is the head on a plate target list from trump & his capos...

Corruption & propaganda is on steroids.

The Iran war according to Trump: The War Is Over; The Strait Is Open; We Totally Won…The Golden Age? https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/05/20/us/politics/trump-iran-war-deal.html?smid=url-share

Resist the authoritarianism of the MAGA gangsters & grifters! Please 86 47: VoteBlue!

This is pretty much crap on so many levels it isn't funny. "HE" truly has become the dictator he wanted to be. AND he running our government like the Mafia. HE is the MOB BOSS and you only answer to HIM. Unbelievable!

"And on Tuesday, his Office of Personnel Management quietly posted a notice on the Federal Register proposing to extend that world to the entire civil service of the United States."

Well I say trump can shove that NDA and every single federal Employee should tell him : NO! Why should he be allowed to continue illegal practices here inour country..This bullshit is stinkfully illegal and he wants to use it to screw with the November mid- terms. They should tell him and his co-this is a NO . And THE PEOPLE will not shut up about it.

During the first Trump administration, Trump said he has something in the Constitution called Article II that allows him to do whatever he wants. Last week, when questioned about the approximately $4 billion the Trump family (including him) has made since January 20, 2025, especially regarding his numerous “timely” stock trades this year, he said, “Nobody cares, and I’m allowed to do it.” So, yes, he’ll get away with requiring every federal employee to sign a lifetime Non Disclosure Agreement.

Ugh. Double ugh!

It is clear that Trump wants to operate the United States as if it is his family firm by using other peoples money, by deceit or theft, with no accountability to whatever federal rule of law is left to us. There is some vague language in this proposed NDA that has no legal definition. Thus, this vague language creates a basis for legal disputes. Moreover, if the NDA has no additional requirements to the existing federal government to employee agreements, then why have them at all? (Don't sign it, federal employees!) As Miles pointed out, Trump is waxing nostalgic to his old Trump Tower days of intimidating people with NDAs to protect himself from being outed as a criminal in his current role as a President just as he did as a private citizen. Sunshine is the best disinfectant. Gather up the receipts for Impeachment Trial #3. Third time will be the charm!

Thanks for your writing this morning Miles. It makes me think that this process is like a Top Secret (TS) clearance without the background check and the TS badge/clearance. Haha! It becomes a one

person decision and everything is prohibited! It's like shut the fuck up!

I keep thinking back to that conversation that you and Xander had about people in power. Gabor Mate says, "The people in power are very often some of the emptiest people in the world and they're not going to change things for us. We have to find that light within ourselves. We have to find the light within our communities and in our own wisdom and creativity. The addiction to power is always about the emptiness one is trying to fill from outside. The emptiness always goes back to what (we) didn't get when (we) were young." This boy is really self will run riot!

I appreciate the ideas and direction you guys come up with. We definitely must connect with the light in ourselves and in our communities! Thank you for your creativity!

as a long-time retired federal employee (disability) and attorney, i'm grieving so much i'm presently unable to think of how these civil service people, who are trying to serve their country, can work out of this stomping all over their rights.

The corruption of this regime continues to expand. While I have commented on this action, I've no doubt all negative commentary will be ignored.
