Wait.

Elon Musk now has the email for every federal employee?

Isn't THAT a bigger story than the stupid request for 5 bullet points of what they've been doing?

Seems like this email could severely backfire, in that it demonstrates the utter toothlessness of DOGE’s absurd directives. The question that kills DOGE has always been “Wait, are you the boss of me? Says what law?” and now Elon is forcing a lot of people to ask it.

NEW — The National Treasury Employees Union Chapter 282 just emailed its ~8,000 employee members strongly advising them NOT to reply to the “What did you do last week?” email from OPM/Musk.
NTEU National Treasury Employees Union CHAPTER 282 Good evening NTEU Members, You may have recently received an email from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) requesting that you submit a bullet-point summary of your work from last week. NTEU strongly advises you NOT to respond to this OPM request at this time. Here's why: • We work for HHS/FDA, not OPM: OPM directives that have not been formally adopted or communicated by our employer, the FDA, do not create an obligation for you to respond. • Lack of Concurrence: This request appears to have been issued without the necessary coordination and agreement from the FDA. • Protecting Your Rights: We are concerned about the implications of this request and are actively working to protect your rights and interests. • Protecting Your Rights: We are concerned about the implications of this request and are actively working to protect your rights and interests. • NTEU Action: NTEU National and our Office of General Counsel are aware of this situation and are taking immediate action. We are gathering information and will provide you with comprehensive guidance before the arbitrary deadline stated in the OPM email. What you should do: • Do not respond to the OPM email. • Retain the OPM email for your records. • Monitor your email for further updates from NTEU.

Apparently, Grok is the only reliable thing Elon Musk has paid people far smarter than him to create.

I have identified at least two dozen pardoned Capitol Rioters that are currently attending CPAC in Washington, D.C. —including members of far right extremists groups such as the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers.

Leaders of the Social Security Administration had just opened an investigation into a career employee they believed was improperly sharing information with Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team when President Donald Trump elevated the employee this week to acting commissioner.
New Social Security chief was being investigated when Musk team tapped him
Data analyst Leland Dudek was suspected of sharing unauthorized access to information with the U.S. DOGE Service. Now he’s the acting Social Security commissioner.

I need to know who writes the headlines at the NYT because it's time we moved to eliminate asshole initiatives in the media.

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

One of the biggest punk rock bands, divided and irreconcilable 🤬

39 years ago today
Dead Kennedys played their last show with Jello Biafra at Freeborn Hall, UC Davis on this day in 1986, supported by Phranc, Mojo Nixon and 7 Seconds.

I am truly sorry for America, but if you don’t stop Trump, Musk and their kleptocrats VERY soon - there won’t be an American election ever again - just like Trump said. Unless it’s like a Russian one, where opposition is killed off, & the voting machines are all rigged.
I’m sorry, but it’s a fact.

His cover of What a Wonderful World was so great. Having spent the last couple of years listening to Ramones music I had grown to love Joey as a musician.

'Don't Worry About Me' is the first album released by Joey Ramone as a solo artist, released posthumously on this day in 2002, less than a year after his death.
