Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, introduced legislation that would compel the United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to create a public directory of federal government employees, including their salaries, job descriptions and other details. [A] fiscal watchdog group also found that the names of 383,000 federal workers from 56 different agencies were redacted, amounting to a total of $38.3 billion in pay. "Like a twisted game of reverse Secret Santa, taxpayers are gifting paychecks to bureaucrats who remain anonymous." "The American people should not be forced to play ‘Where’s Waldo’ when it comes to figuring out where federal workers are...

Acrowd of thousands gathered in downtown Washington, D.C., Saturday as part of the nationwide anti-Trump 'No Kings' rallies with a long list of White House actions they were protesting against: mass deportations of undocumented immigrants; National Guard deployments in Democratic-controlled cities ostensibly to combat crime; the looming expiration of Affordable Care Act health insurance subsidies, which is the main cause of the ongoing government shutdown. But Saturday’s event also was an opportunity for dozens of participating federal employees, many of whom have lost their jobs and seen their years of experience be discarded, to come together. “Connecting in person with...

The memo cites authority issued under the 1978 Civil Service Reform Act, which Trump is also using to end collective bargaining agreements with federal unions that represent agencies with national security missions. The White House Office of Personnel Management (OPM) on Thursday announced in a memo that President Donald Trump had signed an executive order limiting the ability of federal employees across multiple departments to unionize. The memo cites authority issued under the 1978 Civil Service Reform Act, which Trump is also using to end collective bargaining agreements with federal unions that represent agencies with national security missions, per a...

The Trump administration filed an emergency appeal Monday to the Supreme Court asking it to halt a recent lower court ruling to rehire some federal workers laid off at federal agencies. The administration said that the ruling should be put on hold because the judge didn't have authority to order 16,000 probationary employees be re-hired, according to The Associated Press. The order was from U.S. District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco. The agencies at which the layoffs occurred were departments of Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Defense, Energy, Interior and Treasury.

JUST IN: Judge William Alsup declines to stay his order requiring rehiring of probationary employees at 6 federal departments, calls OPM acting chief failure to testify 'violation of this court's order.'

A shocking report has revealed that certain Deep State employees are into some of the most disgusting things imaginable. Worse, they are sharing their sick desires all on the taxpayer’s dime. The City Journal’s Chris Rufo and Hannah Grossman announced on Monday that they had obtained chat logs from the NSA’s Intelink messaging program, which exposed a secret chat room used by agency employees. The chat logs date back over two years and feature several X-rated topics, including fetishes, kink, and sex. Here are some of the most shocking details revealed by Rufo and Grossman:

On Sunday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, co-host Alicia Menendez said that NBC News had obtained a copy of the email sent out to federal employees at Elon Musk's behest requiring them to list five things that they had accomplished in the last week. If the show's panelists had to list five things they had recently accomplished, one thing they couldn't mention was actually having read that email. Because if they had, they wouldn't have fretted, as two of them did, that in responding to the email, "classified information" or secrets would be divulged. That's because, as you' see, the...

President Donald Trump ordered federal agencies Tuesday to demonstrate that their employees’ roles are legally required, granting Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) broad new powers to eliminate positions deemed unnecessary. The executive order requires agencies to defend its workforce against elimination or consolidation, while restricting departments to hiring just one new employee for every four who leave. It also creates a “DOGE team lead” position within each agency to oversee what the order calls “large-scale reductions in force” by identifying which functions aren’t mandated by law.

-President Donald Trump has ordered federal workers to return to the office five days a week, signing an executive order in front of cheering supporters at Washington's Capital One Arena on Monday. The move would force large numbers of white-collar government employees to forfeit remote working arrangements, reversing a trend that took off in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Did you know that 85% of the federal workforce works from home and only have to come in one day a month? On any given day, only 17% of the federal workforce is in a federal office building working. Many hold other jobs. It's one giant looting operation and US taxpayers are their mark. DOGE is coming.

The federal government could soon apologize for actions that discriminated against LGBTQ government workers as far back as 1949 under a resolution filed Tuesday by Senate Democrats. Sens. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) are leading the resolution, which has 18 Democratic co-sponsors. The duo sponsored an identical resolution in 2021. Kaine in a statement on Tuesday said the resolution reaffirms a commitment “to righting our past wrongs” and advancing LGBTQ equality nationwide. “LGBT civil servants, foreign service officers and service members have made countless sacrifices and contributions to our country and national security. Despite this, our government has...

The vaccine mandate for federal employees will remain blocked at least until a September court hearing.A Texas appeals court is dissolving a previous decision that upheld the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate for federal employees.On Monday, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to request a full court to rehear Feds for Medical Freedom v. Biden (pdf), effectively dissolving the court’s April decision.This means that President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate, which he introduced via Executive Order 14043 in September 2021, will remain blocked as long as the court does not issue a decision otherwise. The court has tentatively calendared the en...

The Astonishing Implications of Schedule F Two weeks before the 2020 general election, on October 21, 2020, Donald Trump issued an executive order (E.O. 13957) on “Creating Schedule F in the Excepted Service.” It sounds boring. Actually, it would have fundamentally changed, in the best possible way, the entire functioning of the administrative bureaucracy that rules this country in a way that bypasses both the legislative and judicial process, and has ruined the checks and balances inherent in the US Constitution. The administrative state for the better part of a century, and really dating back to the Pendleton Act of...

Wishes the American people knew the President does not even have the power to give. The President does not have the authority. Constitutional Attorney Krisanne Hall explains Article II, the complete sum and total of Presidential power, there is no authorization in the U.S. Constituion for OSHA or Department of Labor. There are no emergency authoirization of power in Article II of the U.S. Constituion. They only can exist at the State level.

Joe Biden is considering letting federal employees work from home permanently or only come into the office on a part-time basis - despite fears it will lead to more delays for Americans trying to access vital government services. The Biden administration is set to announce in June guidelines that could see more staffers than ever using telework to perform their duties, according to a report released Monday. 'We anticipate this guidance will leave room for decision-making at departments and agencies, to provide maximum flexibility for defining work requirements to meet mission and workforce needs,' a senior administration official told The...

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which recently passed the House, contains $1400 stimulus checks. But some federal workers will have more than one check. They can get paid time off with up to 15 checks of $1400 each. Emergency Federal Employee Leave Fund Neatly tucked within the $1.9 trillion emergency aid package is the $570 million Emergency Federal Employee Leave Fund. This budget is exclusive for federal workers who need to stay home to tend to their kids. Thus, this will fund the paid time off for federal workers with children enrolled in schools yet to return to...

A Freedom of Information Request shows that Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Director of the National Institute for Health’s National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Diseases and current Chief Medical Advisor to the President, is the highest paid US government employee. Data from the latest year for which federal salaries are available reveal that Fauci made $417,608 in 2019. That salary gave him the dubious distinction of being the highest paid individual out of all four million federal employees. In contrast, the President of the United States has a legislated salary of $400,000 annually. The salary data was collected by the...

They did it. They revel in their power as bureaucrats. They did it to Trump and everyone since Truman, and probably before. Now they're gloating brazenly.

President Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order creating a new classification of “policy-making” federal employees that could strip swaths of the federal workforce of civil service protections just before the next president is sworn into office. The order would create a new Schedule F within the excepted service of the federal government, to be composed of “employees in confidential, policy-determining, policy-making, or policy-advocating positions,” and instructs agency heads to determine which current employees fit this definition and move them—whether they are members of the competitive service or other schedules within the excepted service—into this new classification.
