This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

This seems like a phisher's dream. Announcing that a government email is about to go out and that recipients are required to respond to it seems like the kind of thing cybercriminals would love to spoof in order to infect workers or trick them into revealing their login credentials.

NEW — The National Treasury Employees Union Chapter 282 just emailed its ~8,000 employee members strongly advising them NOT to reply to the “What did you do last week?” email from OPM/Musk.

"The Supreme Court’s rulings creating “presidential immunity” and upending campaign finance law, in particular, conveyed a message that Trump and his billionaire buddies can do anything they want. The two co-presidents received that message loud and clear." ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

The best time for agency leadership and federal workers to stop treating these illegal, unenforceable requests and threats as credulous asks was on day one. The second best time is now.

Buried in the paper avalanche of Trump and Vought’s day 1 rescissions of Biden-era executive orders were rescissions of civil rights and equal opportunity EOs dating back to Lyndon Johnson. Resegregation is 100% the goal, and cloaking it in language targeting “corporate” DEI, the method.

OMB director Russ Vought has officially begun carrying out his section of Project 2025. Technical thread to follow, but it’s really important - this is a major path through which the Trump administration will illegally impound funding, refusing to carry out some of our spending laws.

Tonight we proposed an amendment to ensure that the Republican budget doesn’t raise prescription drug costs for seniors on Medicare. And guess what? Republicans blocked it — just like they opposed us when we gave Medicare the power to lower drug prices.

BREAKING — I've confirmed the DOGE staffers at SSA. They are Marko Elez (who was previously fired for racist posts and then reinstated), Ethan Shaotran, Nikhil Rajpal, and Gautier Cole-Killian. This is per Social Security Works, a non-profit working to protect/expand Social Security.

Unfortunately firings have continued at the National Nuclear Safety Administration. I’ve been contacted by an NNSA worker who was fired, then told her termination was paused, then told she was fired again. She says there were numerous others at NNSA treated the same way. These people keep us safe.

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

Federal IT people will recognize a big deal on these acronyms: appointees are directing IT to deliberately violate the mandatory system rules (contained in their Authorization To Operate) and just be out of compliance because who will stop them.

“And Elon doesn’t want you to know that he’s received a billion dollars in new federal contracts in the past two weeks.” MORE OF THIS. They’re stupid, evil, grifting liars and Rep. Crockett is conducting a masterclass in how to talk about all of that at once.

both of the DOGE EOs explicitly assign ownership of big implementation tasks (that they are currently already doing) to the DOGE administrator, who is Elon when convenient and nobody when it’s not.

I don’t think anyone has yet found a legal authority that allows OPM to order the firing of large swaths of employees in other agencies beyond “it was in an EO,” which does not actually give them that authority!

This is a remarkable exchange and also the way journalists should consistently be framing their reporting on this. With skepticism. With insistence on proof of the assertion and specific examples of the harm caused. Too much benefit of the doubt is given, and that is antithetical to our training.
