The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.

Now he is tweeting in support of me.

Judging by the shamefully opportunistic & politicizing rhetoric of some rightwingers on Twitter, & their cynical use of Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder for political point scoring, it’s almost as if Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t murdered by a Trump-voting MAGA maniac just 12 weeks ago.

On 7 April 1933, the German government issued the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service, which excluded Jews and other political opponents of the Nazis from all civil service positions. One provision aimed to remove personnel deemed unreliable due to their political beliefs.
The idea that Elon Musk & his minions have access to the private, & very sensitive, information of more than 2 million federal employees is very disconcerting & enraging.
With that information, they can access people’s entire life—political affiliation, financial situation, health, you name it.
