Does Congress have to approve this? Sounds like DEI appointees for Trump humpers.

they only respond to being forcibly removed, musk has money and power he does not care about due process or legality, he cannot be stopped when there is zero enforcement, the only way is to drag him out of the building alonng with his workers by the public!

Could current anonymous IT employees lock up the system (or crucial parts of it) on their way out.

"....could smooth Elon Musk’s efforts to access the technology systems of various federal agencies" COULD SMOOTH?!?! The laws are not semantics - it's not a word shell game.

Is.

Thank you to the person On Here who alerted me to OPM quietly publishing the memo today. Tipping reporters keeps the public informed!

#Project2025. It was all laid out in print. We tried to warn people, but they didn't think it would happen to them.

The one thing I hold dear: The National Weather Service. This is like he has my child hostage. I'd be willing to shed my own blood to protect NOAA/NWS. But I'm too old to serve physically in a militia. Were I 20 years younger, I'd risk my life to defend the National Weather Service.

Yep. It would be like taking away the highway system. No.

I’m right there with you, sister.

Back in the day, the worst “prank” was someone in the West Wing removing the “W” from keyboards.
