Here is what federal cuts ✂️ look like in New Mexico...

20% of the federal workforce at Carlsbad Caverns fired despite the National Park attracting 300,000+ visitors each year.

Now ranger-led tours are cancelled & self-led tour schedule scaled back

If you’re still on Twitter, go cast a no vote. Employees already do this with their direct supervisor, and their duties are thoroughly laid out in EPAPs. This isn’t efficiency, it’s intimidation.

Elon Musk instructed federal workers to respond to an email summarizing their weekly accomplishments, a tactic he previously used to downsize staff at X. “Please reply to this email with approximately five bullet points of what you accomplished this week and CC your manager,” the message stated.

The IRS was a simple test for DOGE: was it really interested in efficiency and state capacity? If so, you support the tax enforcement, the biggest ROI in govt.
Or did it want to minimize parts of the state that bothered billionaires?

President Trump reiterated his proposal for the U.S. to take over Gaza, telling reporters on Sunday that the strip of land was "a big real estate site" that the U.S. was "going to own." The idea, first announced last week, has drawn widespread international condemnation.

Federal employees on their probationary periods (less one year of competitive service, or less than two years of excepted services) are being compiled into a list because they can legally be fired without triggering appeal rights. This was stated explicitly in the OPM memo sent last week.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Office of Personnel Management (OPM) employee sounding the alarm on a hostile takeover of the Federal service. This is what I meant re the direct communication email to bypass agencies.
OPM employee here, we are not the bad guysHR (self.fednews) submitted 3 hours ago by Throwaway918284 I'm a current employee at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). This is a throwaway account for obvious reasons. I’m posting this because people need to know what’s going on at OPM. I’ve been an OPM employee for nearly a decade and a Federal Employee for almost 20 years. I’ve never witnessed anything even remotely close to what’s happening right now. In short, there's a hostile takeover of the federal civil service. Let me say this in no uncertain terms — OPM has been compromised and taken over. The very backbone of American Government, the HR of all HR in the U.S. Government has been taken over by outside politicals. In just five days, they managed to push aside dozens of non-political, career civil servants who were there specifically to prevent the civil service from becoming the President's henchmen. The current Acting Director, Charles (Chuck) Ezell is a low-level branch chief. He's the friendliest “yes man” you'll ever meet. He never says no. It’s clear they pushed aside all the high-level non political civil servants who refused to do Donald Trump's bidding, until they found Chuck. Under his name, they’ve sent numerous requests to all the agencies to collect information on gov't employees that they see as a threat to their agenda. Instructions say to send these lists to Amanda Scales. But Amanda is not actually an OPM employee, she works for Elon Musk. She wasn’t even properly cleared by OPM Personnel Security. Our CIO, Melvin Brown, (also a non political career public servant) was pushed aside just one week into his tenure because he refused to setup email lists to send out direct communications to all career civil servants. Such communications are normally left up to each agency. Instead, an on-prem (on-site) email server was setup. Someone literally walked into our building and plugged in an email server to our network to make it appear that emails were coming from OPM. It's been the one sending those various “test” message you've all seen. We think they're building a massive email list of all federal employees to generate mass RIF notices down the road. The non-political civil servants here at OPM are watching helplessly as our government is being systematically dismantled bit by bit. Even the IGs are being fired to prevent them from investigating the numerous whistleblower complaints we've filed. Please share this and tell the world that OPM is not the bad guy. We're just as helpless to stop this as the rest of our fellow public servants. Hopefully someone out there can help us, but it’s looking pretty grim.

Every talk, every tour, every visitor center, every entry gate—these are all manned by seasonals at National Parks. The iconic park ranger in a flat hat is a seasonal. If the hiring freeze isn’t lifted soon, you will not be able to visit a park this summer.

The National Park Service abruptly rescinded job offers Thursday for seasonal positions at national parks across the country after President Donald Trump announced a government-wide hiring freeze Monday.
Trump’s hiring freeze is hitting national parks ahead of tourist season
The move prompted concerns from conservationists that national parks could be short-staffed during the summer season, when millions of Americans usually visit.

OPM is working on the ability to e-mail all Federal employees at once. Normally, e-mails are disseminated through department leaders so they can provide instruction on how announcements apply to their specific departments. Presumably the executive branch wants to ability to bypass this.
