Dear Elon: Not until you take a drug test. Sincerely, The federal workforce

NEW for tomorrow's paper: With Pentagon purge, Trump thrusts military uncharted territory www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Americans don’t pledge loyalty to a man Fascists do

yeah I bet

With Elon’s “tell us what you accomplished last week or you’re fired” emails: I can confirm that he didn’t limit himself to the executive branch. He sent them to employees of the judicial branch as well.

I just posted my regular update on global conflict. This week: Trump realigns with Putin & doubles down on Zelenskyy bashing, the transformation of Europe's security, war in #Ukraine and China's aggression in the Pacific. mickryan.substack.com/p/not-yet-ou...

Bingo.

Imagine being an Article III judge and you get this email on a Saturday night lol

Wait until Trump's next rally...

Is he on something?

BREAKING: As Elon Musk said on X would be happening, I can now report that all federal employees are receiving an email directing them to provide “approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished last week.” It directs them not to send any classified information and is due by 11:59p Monday.

A federal judge has extended the order keeping Elon Musk's DOGE out of Treasury Department payment systems, ruling that the Trump admin's process for granting access to the sensitive data was so flawed and haphazard that it was likely illegal.

Federal employees are receiving this email from OPM demanding 5 bullet points describing last week’s “accomplishments” by 11:59PM EST on Monday

Poor bastards on nuclear subs will surface in a month and find they’ve been fired.

Elon email to federal employees asking them to identify five things they accomplished last week admonishes “please do not send any classified information.” 🤦‍♂️

But this seems like a superb way to get to that Appointments Clause standing.

Dear Elon: it’s classified, and you have no need to know. We don’t hand our secrets to the enemy. Sincerely, The entire IC.

Fwiw - This looks like the US used a Hellfire R-9X munition with its spinning blades instead of explosives.

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

This letter is a remarkable combination of stupid and ominous.

This little shit is acting like an Afghan warlord I didn’t vote to have my country torn apart by a rich little shit who committed fraud to gain US citizenship

Judge orders nationwide preliminary injunction of anti-DEI executive orders. "Plaintiffs’ irreparable harms include widespread chilling of unquestionably protected speech." www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/u...

#BREAKING: #SCOTUS issues order holding "in abeyance" President Trump's application to let him fire Hampton Dellinger until next Wednesday (when the temporary restraining order keeping Dellinger in place expires). In other words, a significant (and short-lived) punt.

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.

“But a message was soon sent from Washington…The White House was unhappy with his performance, and he should stop doing media. On Thursday, a planned joint press conference with Zelenskyy and Kellogg was canceled at the behest of U.S. officials.” www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Former colleagues face termination b/c they were sent (probably unwillingly) on rotation to an office focused on diversity—critical at CIA—when along comes an incompetent leader who cant fathom why it’s important to hire a few folks who aren’t white men These people are patriots and deserve better.

Another story repeating Susie Wiles' claim to be able to manage Elon. Sure, Susie. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
