Curious.

What are the local, immediate issues, and what is the plan?

The winning continues. Looks like DOGE is heavily into all of this.

This is SOP at any business before firing someone. Nonsense headline.

Feels like the same kind of maneuvers Musk utilized when he took over Twitter. Freeze everything in place for assessment of staff and sabotage prevention.

“loyalists”

The projection is strong with this one.

It *is* a Revolution.

One team’s “hostile takeover” is another team’s

Winning!

Sounds like they are making it difficult for Clinton/Obama/Biden allies to collect political information . . .

They may be looking to minimize the ability of the HR establishment at OPM from frustrating the hiring freeze or other such things. Despite the hiring freeze, people have been getting notices that they didn’t get jobs for which they applied. The old guard in the federal bureaucracy is protecting itself from change. Limiting their power to do so is a key goal for Musk and DOGE.

“The projection is strong with this one.”

Yeah, he is not installing loyalists. He is getting rid of Dis-loyalists.

I would like to see Musk whittle the Federal Personel level down greatly. We know only about 20% actually do the work most others do not do that much. I see no reason we can’t reduce the work force by at least 50%.

Or to compare with voter rolls, or campaign contribution to give a preference to Rats and a penalty to MAGA. Yeah, yeah, yeah...We all know that shouldn't happen, but do we really believe a federal workforce packed with affirmative action hires isn't doing that covertly?

I suspect they have been busy destroying evidence since the election.

Hopefully there is still enough information to charge them.

That is very smart to prevent speciation of data.
