It is, but I don’t think that’s what’s happening with McLaurine. I think her parents just thought it sounded fancy. A southern striver thing.


Yup. Her parents named the other daughter “Mary Ashton”


I’m willing to bet Ashton is probably one of the most popular names among Auburn sorority girls.

Just a reminder to everyone: what she did is illegal and is grounds for termination.

And the bar for termination is LOWER for someone with her level of seniority. If she was a GS-7, she'd probably get a one-week suspension without pay and a note on her SF-50. But a GS-15, Step 10 and lead communications officer for the agency? They are supposed to be better than the average GS gov'y.

If I was doing a Douglas Factors analysis, she'd get dinged on #1, #2, #5, and especially #8.

She's a GS15-step 10? I know MD PhDs who are federal workers who aren't at that level...unbelievable that this money wasting unethical twit is wasting our tax dollars and using her sinecure to grow her influencing business.

Is SNL new shows this week? I feel this is a skit the new cast would love to do.


Chloe Fineman is going to be so savage with this character.

She needs to be fired ASAP and walked out the office by security. We apparently have so much fraud, waste, abuse that folks need to have facilities to sleep at the office to root it out. Yet she has time for fashion Instagram videos with links and potentially affiliate content.

She can go.

Wow, the reddit posts show such spectacular stupidity and lack of any self-awareness. Unbelievable. Also, not very fashionable! Lose-lose.

Is none of this a firing offense at DOGE? You think they might be a tiny bit concerned that they have in their midst people who post white supremacist stuff on social media, the 19 year old fired for leaking company data at his last job and this "Director of Communications" who only communicates her own "fashion" to fill her pockets with a second income.

Yes.

My heart goes out to you. Sending you good health.

And yes, she needs to fired.

Not think, but knows.


+1 She simply IS a horrible person. And she’s dumb as rocks. The blowing of the kiss was something else.

But remember, the tone at the top of the government is: Screw the little people. Greed greed “god” greed.

She’s just blindly and stupidly trying to be like her boss Elon.
