If you can ignore the author's (or, more likely—based on my humble experience as a former local journalist—her editor's) annoying, endless parade of painful egg puns, you may be as shocked as I to learn there is a "Big Egg" as corrupt as "Big Oil."

@GLDGloria @votetimscott @realDonaldTrump I agree, wholeheartedly! But it makes me wonder why you voted for him a second time, despite—like you so eloquently noted—his not having done anything beneficial for any Americans, except the very wealthy, during his first term in office.

[ResistanceRules @ResistanceRules]

Nope. Because nobody who actually cares about America, its citizens and it's national security would even consider—nevermind vote—for any of Trump's recklessly unqualified nominees, unless he wanted a kakistocracy.

[Willie Ross Jr. Knee Deep @RossKneeDeep]

Do you think that Democrats should vote yes on any of Trump's appointees?

[ResistanceRules @ResistanceRules]

@RossKneeDeep Nope. Because nobody who actually cares about America, its citizens and it's national security would even consider—nevermind vote—for any of Trump's recklessly unqualified nominees, unless he wanted a kakistocracy.

@jawjagrrl @cenkuygur @elonmusk What results? 100 million condom bombs to Hamas? Please. You're just the kind of mark who would have voted for Trump.

@StephenPh @diamondsoul317 @SillyVanya @ScottCDunn @SenSchumer @RepJeffries What Trump has so far authorized Musk or ordered other political appointees to do (that we know of) is not only unconstitutional, but also unlawful by both criminal statute (Privacy Act for the data breaches) and several federal regulations (for Civil Service violations.)

[ResistanceRules @ResistanceRules]

@StephenPh @diamondsoul317 @SillyVanya @ScottCDunn @SenSchumer @RepJeffries You are wrong, bro. The President has the right to veto any bill, but no right to re-appropriate funds once they've been appropriated and passed by Congress.

Fun Fact: A 2% tax on the top 5 wealthiest billionaires would generate more revenue than the entire yearly budget of USAID.

I think I found the efficiencies DOGE was looking for.

🚨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."
