Well played, President Claudia Sheinbaum, for committing troops already at the border since 2021, knowing perfectly well President Man Baby would have no idea and take it as a win.

Sen Tim Kaine (D-VA) speech about Trump Admin. "buyout" idea for federal workers

"He's tricked hundreds of people with that offer. If you accept that offer and resign, he'll stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors. He doesn't have any authority to do this. Do not be fooled by this guy"

Musk spiking the ball, reveling in his role drafting an email to all federal employees inviting them to resign.

The subject line was “a fork in the road”

He sent an email with the same subject line to Twitter staff after he bought the company

The email also makes ominously clear that if you DON'T "voluntarily" quit, your job is about to become hell, and with no severance. "Transfers and layoffs are coming, everyone will be subject to 'enhanced standards of suitability and conduct.'" Idk what that means but I wouldn't want to find out!
Deferred Resignation Email to Federal Employees January 28, 2025 During the first week of his administration, President Trump issued a number of directives concerning the federal workforce. Among those directives, the President required that employees return to in-person work, restored accountability for employees who have policy-making authority, restored accountability for senior career executives, and reformed the federal hiring process to focus on merit. As a result of the above orders, the reform of the federal workforce will be significant. The reformed federal workforce will be built around four pillars: 1) Return to Office: The substantial majority of federal employees who have been working remotely since Covid will be required to return to their physical offices five days a week. Going forward, we also expect our physical offices to undergo meaningful consolidation and divestitures, potentially resulting in physical office relocations for a number of federal workers. 2) Performance culture: The federal workforce should be comprised of the best America has to offer. We will insist on excellence at every level — our performance standards will be updated to reward and promote those that exceed expectations and address in a fair and open way those who do not meet the high standards which the taxpayers of this country have a right to demand. 3) More streamlined and flexible workforce: While a few agencies and even branches of the military are likely to see increases in the size of their workforce, the majority of federal agencies are likely to be downsized through restructurings, realignments, and reductions in force. These actions are likely to include the use of furloughs and the reclassification to at-will status for a substantial number of federal employees. 4) Enhanced standards of conduct: The federal workforce should be comprised of employees who are reliable, loyal, trustworthy, and who strive for excellence in their daily work. Employees will be subj…

One thing I can promise is that if you are a federal employee who takes a bootleg "deferred resignation" offer written by some grimy little Elon Musk wannabe that is purportedly effective upon putting the magic word RESIGN in the subject of an email, you will never see a dime of that money
Fork in the Road Below is the email that was sent to federal employees on January 28, 2025 presenting a deferred resignation offer. If you did not respond to that email and wish to accept the deferred resignation offer, you may do so by following these steps. 1) Send an email to hr@opm.gov from your government account. Only an email from your .gov or .mil account will be accepted. 2) Type the word "Resign" into the "Subject" line of the email. Hit "Send".

zero legal authority exists to do this. wapo.st/3PXucLH
White House tells federal workers they can quit now, get paid through September
The email is the most sweeping effort yet by the new Trump administration to shrink the ranks of government employees.

If only a previous Congress had anticipated that a president might try to usurp legislative powers.

If only we had a Congress today that would stand up for itself, and the Constitution.
