Tell me more about his private life. |

Are we talking about Russell Vought? Because his address can easily be found by Google search. |
I remember that it was also posted in the real estate forum on this board. Somewhere in South Arlington that he bought around 2023 after getting divorced, IIRC. |
Oh wow. This hits close to home. We are research scientists, and my husband worked at NIH. Our daughter has an autoimmune disease that hasn't had pharmaceutical innovation in decades. Wow. There are no words. |
I meant the other one that lives on the north side. |
He’s basically going after thousands of other middle-aged parents like himself just trying to take care of their kids and get them through this world. Many of these people are part of his community, whether he cares to admit it or not. And he’s hurting them and their ability to care for their kids. How low can one get. He’s the worst if the worst. Trump is just a slob without any scruples as he’s always been. His behavior is no surprise. But Vought said so himself that he wants to inflict trauma. And again, he’s going after working people including other parents. And he knows it. Despicable, shameful man. |
| My whole group received RIFs |
I'm sorry. Where and how many? What does the letter say? |
Oof. So sorry. |
| Why can’t Schumer quit worrying about AOC and re open the government??? It’s ridiculous! |
Giving in to the bullies is not going to stop them from doing RIFs. You’re playing right into their game. |
| Discarding people without a thought, striping them of their careers and their paths toward retirement will most certainly break some people who will feel they have nothing left to lose. These decision makers need to brace for dealing with obsessed, mentally beleaguered people and likely violence. It's very sad and foreseeable. This war on Americans is so self defeating. The U.S. will never recover. I'm making plans to give my children a better life in another country. --5th generation American |
A small agency under HHS. I'm surprised. We were funded in the budget. My group is 15 people but I don't know who else from the agency. We are not support staff. We are statisticians and researchers. The letter said, "We regret to inform you that you are being affected by a reduction in force..." |
