Summary
Federal workers condemned a Trump administration email urging mass resignations, calling it a coercive and legally dubious move influenced by Elon Musk’s cost-cutting approach.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) offered “deferred resignations” while warning remaining employees of potential layoffs.
Critics, including unions and Democratic lawmakers, warned of widespread disruption to essential services.
The email’s phrasing echoed Musk’s past layoffs at Twitter, raising concerns about the administration’s intentions.
Senator Tim Kaine urged workers not to accept the offer, citing Trump’s history of broken promises.
It would be a mighty shame if the entire secret service took that buyout and got replaced by Italian plumbers. A mighty shame indeed
Yeah, somehow they’re only the green Marios.
Dude, if he gets assassinated and it comes out that the assassin’s name is Mario, I may actually develop a belief in god.
Problem is that god is a 13 yo boy, hyperdimensional gamer who is beaten by his step-dad, was rejected by his crush who also happened to be trans and he didn’t know it, and is procrastinating on a book report due in two in-game decades.
It won’t be so funny when he finally gets around to reading The Giver and decides that’d work for this campaign.
They didn’t send it to the secret service or the boarder patrol or ICE. I think also the post office didn’t get the letter.
I wish there was some shaudenfruede to be had, but there is none.
