For those #FederalEmployees who are going through #JobCuts and #layoffs I have three state-specific resources for you: #Maryland , #Pennsylvania , and #Massachusetts. These sites have aggregated information about government jobs, community services, and available skills training. I hope you find them useful.

'The Healey administration launched a new website Friday to connect fired federal workers with job opportunities and training resources in Massachusetts.

More than 46,000 Massachusetts residents work for the federal government, across sectors like public administration, education, transportation, warehousing and the postal service, Healey’s office said.'

#Musk was not being truthful, #Rubio said. What about the >1,500 #State Dept ofcls who took early retirement in buyouts? Didn’t they count as #layoffs? He asked, sarcastically, whether Musk wanted him to rehire all those people so he could make a show of firing them again. Then he laid out his plans for reorganizing the State Dept.

Musk was unimpressed. He told Rubio he was “good on TV,” w/the clear subtext being that he was not good for much else.
