"Authorizing a #Musk-controlled agency like #OPM to hire a driver while slashing essential #FederalWorkers who actually help Americans in need is a good example."
The #Trump admin, #DOGE, Musk & Ezell did not respond to requests for comment. An OPM spox said in a statement that the agency "has ongoing security concerns" requiring a driver, w/o providing further detail.
OMG, this is so sweet. Wife found out her federal job was being eliminated. Husband drove her out to the burbs to a puppy adoption event, only to find out that they got the time wrong and missed it. So he posted on the DC sub reddit, and if you need a glimpse of human kindness, take a look:
He says he's witnessing "something big"
Da has followed the #Trump admin's firing of many US #FederalWorkers & its dismantling of #FederalAgencies. As a past visitor to Washington, he knows people who have been fired.
"Having said that," he added, "I don't want to be too critical to the Trump administration just from this personal level. As a scholar, I try to be neutral. I think there is something big happening in the #US. It could be bad. It could be good."
@br00t4c It's bad for national security to demoralize the civil service through mass firings and removal of workers rights and protections. #unions #WorkersRights #federalworkers #resist
Whoa, yesterday, #Trump illegally stripped #CollectiveBargaining rights from hundreds of thousands of #FederalWorkers in 18 different departments across multiple #FederalAgencies.
The admin stated that “Certain Federal unions have declared *#war* on President Trump’s agenda.”
Is he going to use #wartime powers against #union members now?

This is the latest in a string of self-inflicted wounds by the new admin that are squandering America’s strength & threatening our #NationalSecurity. Firing hundreds of #FederalWorkers charged w/protecting our nation’s #nuclear weapons is also #dumb. So is shutting down efforts to fight #pandemics just as a deadly #Ebola outbreak is spreading in Africa. It makes no sense to purge talented generals, diplomats & spies at a time when rivals like China & Russia are trying to expand their…reach.
One more day of action! On April 5th we will be united with many groups to say HANDS OFF
It's official 50501Chicago's next official protests are here! First (as reposted) March 30th Trans day of rememberance!

#Musk, as the architect of a group he called the Dept of Govt *Efficiency*, has taken a chain saw to the apparatus of governing, spurring #chaos & dread by pushing out some 100k #FederalWorkers & shutting down various agencies, though the govt has not been consistent in explaining the expanse of his #power.
But in selected spots across the govt, #SpaceX is positioning itself to see billions in new federal contracts or other support….
The 4th Circuit rejected the #Trump admin’s motion for a stay of the #TRO ordering the rehiring of probationary #FederalWorkers in State of Maryland v. USDA.
“Given the district court's stated intention to hold a hearing on March 26, 2025, & to promptly grant or deny preliminary injunctive relief thereafter, the court denies the appellant's request for an administrative stay or a stay pending the resolution of the appeal.”

#Musk Is Firing #FederalWorkers Who Prevent Bloated #Tech #Contracts
Employees at the federal tech unit #18F say that their role in preventing overspending put a Musk-sized target on their back. https://theintercept.com/2025/03/19/18f-tech-federal-workers-musk-trump-doge/
“To be so sh--ty to the people who are supposed to be implementing your agenda, and to treat us the way we’ve been treated, it’s just ridiculous,” said an Air Force #veteran and longtime Defense Department employee who voted for #Trump three times.
#Federalworkers think Trump won’t improve their agencies. Even his voters. https://wapo.st/4bYaA42

#SCOTUS ruled in 1935 to uphold a #law that allows #FTC commissioners to be fired ONLY for good #cause, such as neglecting their duties. The ruling shields a number of #independent, bipartisan multi-member agencies from direct control by the #WhiteHouse.
Exclusive: #Trump fires both #Democratic commissioners at #FTC
Trump fired the 2 Democratic commissioners at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission on Tues, 2 sources familiar with the situation said, in another major test of the #independence of #regulatory agencies.

via @ohhthatsrich an on-point summary of the ongoings.
If the #DOJ wins, as many experts predict it will, the entire executive branch would come under #Trump’s direct control, allowing him even greater power over federal policy, & leaving virtually no barriers to his #MassFirings of civil servants in favor of political stooges.
In solidarity with #FederalWorkers, here are #5ThingsIDidLastWeek (#Resistance Edition):
1) Emailed my congresscritters again (this time to not pass the GOP grifting oops I mean funding bill)
2) Continued sharing info about #TeslaTakeDown protests
3) Finished writing postcards to #Wisconsin voters, almost done addressing them
4) Wore my inclusion hoodie out in public
5) Woke up every day, kept breathing in and out
