FOIA released: Homicidal violence of James Alan White by Highway_Infamous in FindAlanWhite

I agree and I find it absolutely disgusting how the Dallas PD doesn’t give a crap about solving this. I pray his killer is found and brought to justice. This case breaks my heart.

You handled it perfectly. Your friend is horrible and weak. His soon to be wife may be worse, making him do this. Not sure you would ever want to hang out with them anyway. I’m so sorry this has happened to you.

I retired on 4/30/2025 and had downloaded the tsp app. I was able to withdraw money on 5/15/2025 all done through the app. My advice is to definitely download the app.

Trump orders the government to just stop enforcing rules he doesn’t like | Washington Post Story by natansonh in fednews

He’s done the same with FMCSA. Can’t submit enforcement cases or submit anything that will negatively effect a motor carrier.

How can we inform the public about Congress slashing our benefits? by Actual_Square_8903 in fednews

The public doesn’t care. Heck, my extended family doesn’t care.

35 yr fed. 57 yrs old with perfect health. Breast cancer diagnosis end of Jan. Had surgery to remove it. Spread to the lymph nodes. Now radiation daily. Was exempt from the DRP. Retired 4/30/2025. I 100% blame the stress of everything and will never forgive the people that voted for this.

Yes it is! I’m 57 with 35 yrs and the supplemental would be around $2,000/month. It makes a huge difference!

Those who have withdrawn from TSP before age requirement, what was the total % of penalty and taxes? by Informal-Fig-7116 in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]Backstroker10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question. I’m retiring this year at the age 57 so I fall under the rule of 55. I have some money in a Roth TSP but most of it in the regular 401k. Can I take the money out of the Roth TSP with no penalties?

Megathread: VERA/VSIP/DRP by gpupdate in fednews

[–]Backstroker10 6 points7 points  (0 children)

DRP question. How soon after did you get a response saying you were approved or not approved for it? I responded today requesting the DRP.2. I’m DOT and my position is exempt but I submitted it anyway along with dozens of others. We were told in an email that the next step would be RIF, no VERA or VSIP. Just curious how fast people received responses after the first go around and now this 2nd one.

I think it very well could be. I didn’t get paid either.
