This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Elon Musk has forced his way into the system that pays your Social Security checks and tax refunds.

He likely now has access to your Social Security number.

Musk and his team have hostilely taken over OPM. Tonight’s email to fed employees mirrors the “Fork in the Road” message sent to Twitter (now X) staff after Musk’s 2022 takeover. He is working with the Trump administration to build profiles on federal workers based on loyalty (political standing).

I just heard from a nonprofit in Massachusetts that helps veterans with transitional housing.

Trump's shutdown of gov funding hurts their ability to buy and prepare food for 100+ veterans.

Rent is due in 5 days. The loss of funds could mean some veterans face eviction.

President Donald Trump announced that he would withhold aid for the Los Angeles wildfires unless California adopted a voter ID requirement at the polls. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) pushed back, saying “Conditioning aid for American citizens is wrong.”

Hi that was a coup last night in case no one mentioned that to you. The executive branch seized the power of the purse the Constitution gave to Congress, which is a pretty authoritarian / illegal consolidation of powers move. Time to go yell at your reps, the media, etc.

Employees will feel pressure to align with the administration’s goals, even at the expense of ethical or objective decision-making, for fear of termination.

Why is this important? This policy increases job insecurity for federal employees in policy-making roles, pressuring them to align with political goals or risk termination. It discourages dissent, whistleblowing, and independent expertise, fostering a politically driven federal workforce.

The Trump administration’s rebranded Schedule F policy aims to reclassify federal employees in policy roles as at-will, removing civil service protections. This will politicize agencies by allowing dismissals based on political alignment.

Donald Trump has promised retribution. When you hear that a Trump foe is under investigation, be skeptical. When you read about anonymous leaks against pro-democracy leaders, consider that it may be part of an effort to discredit their work. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...
