When the @Blackhawks are playing with national announcers we drink every time they refer to Bedard as a superstar or reference his supernatural ability because come on! Yes he’s great! We get it! But enough already. I’m out of Koval! @kovaldistillery
🚨Read/copy/repost if you can:
From an anonymous OPM employee on Reddit. submitted 3 hours ago by Throwaway918284: "I'm a current employee at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). This is a throwaway account for obvious reasons. I’m posting this because people need to know what’s going on at OPM. I’ve been an OPM employee for nearly a decade and a Federal Employee for almost 20 years. I’ve never witnessed anything even remotely close to what’s happening right now. In short, there's a hostile takeover of the federal civil service.
Let me say this in no uncertain terms — OPM has been compromised and taken over. The very backbone of American Government, the HR of all HR in the U.S. Government has been taken over by outside politicals. In just five days, they managed to push aside dozens of non-political, career civil servants who were there specifically to prevent the civil service from becoming the President's henchmen.
The current Acting Director, Charles (Chuck) Ezell is a low-level branch chief. He's the friendliest “yes man” you'll ever meet. He never says no. It’s clear they pushed aside all the high-level non political civil servants who refused to do Donald Trump's bidding, until they found Chuck.
Under his name, they’ve sent numerous requests to all the agencies to collect information on gov't employees that they see as a threat to their agenda. Instructions say to send these lists to Amanda Scales. But Amanda is not actually an OPM employee, she works for Elon Musk. She wasn’t even properly cleared by OPM Personnel Security.
Our CIO, Melvin Brown, (also a non political career public servant) was pushed aside just one week into his tenure because he refused to setup email lists to send out direct communications to all career civil servants. Such communications are normally left up to each agency.
Instead, an on-prem (on-site) email server was setup. Someone literally walked into our building and plugged in an email server to our network to make it appear that emails were coming from OPM. It's been the one sending those various “test” message you've all seen. We think they're building a massive email list of all federal employees to generate mass RIF notices down the road.
The non-political civil servants here at OPM are watching helplessly as our government is being systematically dismantled bit by bit. Even the IGs are being fired to prevent them from investigating the numerous whistleblower complaints we've filed.
Please share this and tell the world that OPM is not the bad guy. We're just as helpless to stop this as the rest of our fellow public servants. Hopefully someone out there can help us, but it’s looking pretty grim."

What an outrageous statement.
By “enemies” do you mean our courts, our judges, prosecutors and other civil servants doing their jobs, and jurors serving in their capacity as citizens?
Do you mean lawyers and courts following the wording of the constitution?
Do you mean judges and state secretaries following our national and state laws?
Do you mean members of the press reporting honestly?
Do you mean our leading historians, constitutional scholars, university professors, policy analysts, basically the educated and the decent among us?
Do you mean diplomats and leaders of other countries?
Do you mean citizens with principles, Never Trumpers, like yourselves when you had a soul?
Do you mean our grandfathers who fought in WWII?
Do you mean former Republicans concerned with NATO, and the fate of Eastern and Western Europe?
Do you mean people who have NOT traded their reasoning and decency for partisanship, grifting, lying, boot licking and ultimately supporting autocracy?
Put me with the “enemies” against you and yours any day of the week.
