BREAKING: I’m hearing from several VA employees that they have been locked out of VATAS - thats how employees request leave - like administrative leave to file EEO complaints. It also shows your work schedule and OT. If this has happened to you, please reach out using the contact info in my bio.

1/ When you read @hcrichardson.bsky.social keep this is mind: US Department of Digital Services (USDS) was repurposed by executive order into DOGE. USDS existed under the Executive Office of the President (EOP) agencies under EOP serve the President and are not approved by Congress, so no regulation

NEW: Federal workers are starting to receive a copy of the court's restraining order against the Trump administration barring the regime from freezing federal grants and financial assistance. Excellent work, and worth the read:

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you.

Do something

Without public knowledge, Elon Musk is serving as a “special government employee” under President Donald Trump, with access to sensitive information (including your SSN) and broad authority granted by Trump.

We never voted for Musk. We never approved his crew. They have 100% of your government data. They have 100% control of all federal disbursements.
If you're on with that, keep doing what you're doing. If you're not OK, we need to tell lawmakers: shut it all down. #ny21 #bluecrew #resist

This is clearly not real and yet, not unimportant. Be on your guard. Don't click on links. Don't open documents. If in doubt, phone a friend. I'm pretty sure "oxidizedjudy7" isn't working with DOGE, although I guess we do now have to worry if this kind of notice comes from "Big B*LLS". 🤦

This is a must read.

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Plotting.
