The heads of multiple federal agencies have told their employees not to respond to Musk’s email. Seems like Musk would’ve gotten approval for this draconian change in policy from Trump, with Cabinet officers informed in advance. But no, because this admin is in utter chaos.

Hilarious. After the DOGErs set up the new government-wide all employee email system in late January OPM, where it is housed, sent out an advisory which states explicitly that no employee ever has to respond to any of the emails. See 4.2 and 4.3. www.opm.gov/media/kfpozk...

Not an Eagles fan (though had Hurts as my QB this fantasy season), but very glad they prevented the KC 3-peat (and that Hurts got MVP). Best commercials: Stella Artois Other David, and Hellmans When Harry Met Sally.

The America of the past is dead. It was taken over by private equity in a LBO. The brand remains, but America is no long a beacon of Democracy as a shining city on a hill. It’s a shithole country run by racist kleptocrats.
