Something I've now heard from federal worker constituents at several agencies: Musk and Trump's mass firings are clearing out all personnel from FOIA offices and leaving them completely empty, it sounds obviously intentional.

I wonder how much of this is intended versus coincidence. At my agency FOIA got cleared out, but mostly because those jobs tend to have a lot more turnover than typical agency lawyer jobs
Eliminating the lawyers seems to be another part of the plan. And I’m quite sure the discovery in all of the litigated FOIA cases which are coming will be lit. 🙃
If Trump and Musk were carrying out the will of the electorate in good faith, there would be no need to hide their actions. The fact that they are forbidding communications and dismantling FOIA offices indicates they are doing things they don't want the public to know about.
Veterans with service-connected disabilities or claims who want a copy of their exam report are required to request it as FOIA. So it's affecting us too.
