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."

It’s the year 2025 and the family of a female helicopter pilot is afraid to share their deceased hero daughter’s name with the public for fear that our current “commander in chief” will target her as the “one to blame” for the crash.
Because she is a woman.
What the actual fuck.
BREAKING: Democratic star Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lays out a brilliant plan for taking on the Trump administration by exploiting how "shockingly dim and incompetent" they are.
This has MAGA world absolutely fuming...
"Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere," AOC wrote on BlueSky.
"Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉" she added.
She expounded on her vision for resistance in a followup post—
"It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too," she wrote. "Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters."
This is the kind of leadership that the Democratic Party needs. Now is not the time to give in and surrender to MAGA fascism. Now is the time to roll up our sleeves and get to work. Donald Trump can be stopped. Together, we can do this.
Please retweet and ❤️ to thank AOC for offering a confident vision of resistance — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

Today, Donald Trump continued his long-held tradition of being sexist and dismissive to female reporters by insinuating that CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins dumb.
RETWEET if you stand with Collins against these sexist attacks!
This is Judge Loren AliKhan. She just blocked Donald Trump's unconstitutional attempt to freeze federal funding, including Medicaid.
RETWEET to thank Judge AliKhan for standing up for our democracy!
Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.
