[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember seeing in the news a probationary Fed who voted for Trump and got fired. She voted mainly for the promise of mandated IVF coverage.[/quote]

Yup, I think she was from Michigan and was widely covered as Exhibit A of FAFO.[/quote]

Ryleigh Cooper exhaled as she slid onto the couch after nine hours of work for the U.S. Forest Service, still covered in the blue paint she used to mark trees for local loggers. Then she got the text.

“I hate to be the bearer of bad news,” her union leader wrote.

It was the second Thursday in February, and a historic White House purge aimed at federal workers like Cooper was sweeping the country. But the headlines felt far away from her life in rural Michigan. She figured her job, with paychecks totaling about $40,000 a year, would be safe from the cost-cutting campaign led by President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk.

Besides, motherhood was her most pressing concern. Cooper, 24, and her husband were trying to get pregnant, but the doctor said that IVF might be their best chance. Trump had promised to make it free. That is what she thought about in the voting booth.[/quote]

This poor woman. She didn't think the leopard would eat [i]her[/i] face, just [i]other people's[/i] faces. Totally unfair! #empathy[/quote]
