The federal workers I know at church are vexed about all this.

First, Musk says they have to do this. Second, many of their agency heads say they don't have to do this. Third, Trump says maybe or maybe not. Fourth, Musk says they have to do this.

Pure incompetent chaos.

Several of them voted for Trump and are complaining about the chaos.

All of them would like to be treated like human beings doing their jobs. They don't understand why the Musk Administration isn't treating them this way.

So, the idea is that the replies of these hundreds of thousands of workers will be fed into an AI program, which will decide their fate? All their performance evaluations, etc., wlll be irrelevant?

There's no excuse for treating people this way.
If they're doing their jobs, what's the difficulty with mentioning 5 meaningful things they accomplished in an entire work week? Unless they're doing something other than their jobs.......
Why does DOGE need to know these things? And I can think of many difficulties of sharing a number of different government activities to a non government agency. Intel, law enforcement, defense, etc. They have new bosses at the top. Let them do their job for their areas of responsibility.
DOGE is looking for fraud, waste and abuse in the government. I read that there may be people on the payroll that do nothing other than collect a check or not exist at all. DOGE is looking into that. One of their methods is an inelegant email request for a response.
Sometime in the late 90s or early 2000s they came up with the auto check for email accounts that were inactive. It's still a part of email systems and is even more sophisticated. It sends out a simple email saying your account has been inactive for X number of days, months, etc. Asks you to respond within a certain period or your account is removed. Today that's linked to other system/account accesses as well as security clearances. Yet you guys think asking for a list of 5 meaningful things you did this week was intended to serve that purpose. Oookay….

I thought you told me it was fraud, waste, and abuse. If it is, I couldn't think of a more wasteful approach to flushing out inactive people by forcing everyone to respond, when a bot could have flushed it out for you without disrupting/distracting hundreds of thousands of people.

Or maybe there were ulterior motives.

The only individuals against the use of voter ID and paper ballots are those who favor election fraud.

Period
That is just not correct. The vast majority would have absolutely no interest in voter fraud, but for most, it is virtue signaling, and for a minority it is actual, real fear that minorities would be disproportionately impacted by voter ID laws. I can pull this statistic outta my butt, and know 100% it's right: less than 5% of the country really wants fraud in the election.


Wrong. Voter ID suppressing minorities is a racist comment. Minorities have IDs to do the rest of their life - why cant they figure out how to do it to vote?

Oh wait, you mean illegals? Yeah, it will suppress the illegal vote - so that minority, yeah, you are correct.

Is your boyfriend illegal?

It is a fact that minority citizens have voter ID at a lesser rate due to being impoverished at a higher rate. Do facts bother you?
Liberals cannot see the implicit racism of their belief that minorities are simply not capable obtaining ID. It's not actually true, of course, but then liberals never let facts get in the way of their feelings.

https://www.vox.com/identities/2017/3/15/14909764/study-voter-id-racism

It is racist to assume minorities cannot get an ID but let's be honest: whatever lame arguments they use against voter ID is because they are not being honest. The reason they don't want voter ID or any other integrity measures is that they want to use every fraudulent means at their disposal to steal elections. Whether it's illegal aliens voting, dead people voting, people casting multiple ballots, etc the fascists will take advantage. They sometimes even admit to some of this stuff. Some blue states are passing laws to allow foreigners to vote: Non-citizens who have no right to vote in American elections.

DOGE workers quit, refuse to "dismantle public services" on Musk's orders

More than 20 Department of Government Efficiency employees resigned on Tuesday, saying that DOGE's actions are incompatible with their mission as civil servants.

The big picture: The workers, who were folded into DOGE via executive order when President Trump took office, warned in their resignation letter about the risks that DOGE presents to Americans' data and public services.

"We will not use our skills as technologists to compromise core government systems, jeopardize Americans' sensitive data, or dismantle public services," they wrote in the anonymous letter directed to White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.

"We will not lend our expertise to carry out or legitimize DOGE's actions."
Zoom out: DOGE head Elon Musk and allies have reimagined the federal workforce, including through layoffs and moving to close agencies or fold them into others.

Thousands of workers took a buyout to leave the government while others have been fired or placed on administrative leave.
What they're saying: In the letter, the former employees said they completed 15-minute interviews on Inauguration Day with people wearing White House visitor badges.

"Several of these interviewers refused to identify themselves, asked questions about political loyalty, attempted to pit colleagues against each other, and demonstrated limited technical ability," they wrote. "This process created significant security risks."

Then-President Obama created the U.S. Digital Service in 2014 to fix problems with the Healthcare.gov portal. Since then, the agency worked on other issues related to the federal government's technology footprint, including developing a tax filing portal to allow Americans to circumvent third-party companies and file directly with the IRS.
Between the lines: Tuesday's resignations were from engineers, data scientists, product managers and an IT department head.

"DOGE's actions firing technical experts, mishandling sensitive data, and breaking critical systems contradict their stated mission of 'modernizing Federal technology and software to maximize governmental efficiency and productivity,'" they wrote.

The other side: "These were full remote workers who hung Trans flags from their workplaces," DOGE spokesperson Katie Miller wrote on X.

I do not understand the Leftists whining about having to list 5 things they did in a week. When I was teaching, I had to submit regular lesson plans for each class. They were fairly detailed, a lot more than what Elon seemed to be asking for. If they had asked for only 5 bullet points, I usually had that many in one day. I expect any employee who is somewhat productive will have the same. It probably does not even have to be very specific (ie security agency employees should not need to provide classified info).

Now, if the issue we're talking about the details of their job with someone outside their office, then maybe the emails should be sent to their direct supervisors. Maybe that's why some of Trump's cabinet members balked. I can understand these kinds of issues but they should be resolved easily.

The central issue is accountability. The amount of waste in the federal government as completely insane. There are far too many employees getting sizable paychecks regularly but doing very little. The taxpayers don't want to work very hard so they can be taxed excessively by a wasteful government who then used it to pay lazy deadbeat employees (not to mention promoting evils here & abroad through USAID, etc)..

He nor his boyfriend will address that article. Its contrary to his narrative. Plus, he doesn't really care. It's just more virtue signaling to enable cheating in elections.
we all know you are uneducated and ignorant, but quit wasting our time with the "boyfriend". crap. It shows your immaturity, childishness and lack of being a grown up. quit, you homophobe. I think the horn you married (yuk) is really your "boyfriend ". See how stupid that is?


Wait, are you his boyfriend??
no, I have a very classy boyfriend. Is that Horn you married a Lesbian? Do you not understand how childish and uneducated you are? Quit showing your arse.

If the new Dept leads had just made the request, then all of the drama could be stopped. But Musk doing it was a strategic mistake because as outside consultants they can't possibly have context and meaning behind certain bullet point items. They can't also know if something is made up or not. So it looks like a grade school bully request due to that. That type of request should come through their own departments, and my guess is they'll get on the same page going forward.
