We do like to talk a big game about resisting the illegal takeover of the CFPB, but, fair's fair, we've already started planning the logo for Elon's replacement plan.

Recommend feds rewatch this given tonight's latest missive. Stay strong.
From @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social. "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."

Probationary employees with less than 1 year of service at CFPB have received termination notices, but they are so hastily done that they don't have people's names, job titles, or other information.
They literally say "I am removing you from your position of [JobTitle]... effective [EffectiveDate]"

I personally know multiple people who have been fired in the past couple of weeks. Hard-working civil servants who were just doing their jobs. It is terrifying that our best hope is the courts -- not only for federal employees, but for all Americans.

Very approrpiate because current times are somewhere between Office Space and Idiocracy.
Some GSA employees have a new name for the Musk lieutenants, calling them "The Bobs" like the consultants in the movie "Office Space."
Some of the Bobs stand out because they wear t-shirts with blazers, which is something no one else in the office does.
