Often the best source of information about waste, fraud, and abuse in government is an existing government employee committed to public integrity and willing to speak out.

We need to empower federal employees as watchdogs of wrongdoing and partners in performance. ↗

I said to him, "State your business, mortal!" There was no need for me to call him "mortal" or to speak like a sixteenth-century knight. It just sounded cool. ↗

And if they thought her aimless, if they thought her a bit mad, let them. It meant they left her alone. Marya was not aimless, anyway. She was thinking. ↗
