The two officials, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation, said some senior career employees at OPM have had their access revoked to some of the department's data systems.
The systems include a vast database called Enterprise Human Resources Integration, which contains dates of birth, Social Security numbers, appraisals, home addresses, pay grades and length of service of government workers, the officials said.
"We have no visibility into what they are doing with the computer and data systems," one of the officials said. "That is creating great concern. There is no oversight. It creates real cybersecurity and hacking implications."
Implications? This sound like an ongoing hack right now
Yeah, I hate Joe Biden as much as anyone who knows his history on criminal justice issues should, but his mistake here was one of negligence.
The real problem here is
federal authorities verified that their offenses were nonviolent
Like, how was this nonviolent? This judge participated in a scheme to kidnap children and if they or their parents resisted they'd have violence inflicted upon them, just because that violence was being done by police officers and the kidnapping was to a jail cell instead of a brothel shouldn't change anything, but the system can't help but give a judge the easy white collar criminal treatment
Yeah, this feels like validating a toxic business model when they should be dismantling it
Sure is a weird coincidence how we've had recessions after the last 3 or 4 Republican presidents /s
So no, the police dog can't sniff out abortion pills, instead a dirty cop either signaled his dog to the behavior, or the copy is straight lying about what the dog did.
You're not wrong, but that reality didn't stop a warrant from being issued or those envelopes from being opened
A redundant efficiency department with no direct way to make changes, it's like nominating a sex trafficker to be the attorney general or something
He wants them to create housing immediately, as if building things like apartments doesn't take time.
He says that occasionally, but that's not really what he wants, he just wants homeless people gone out of sight and out of the minds of his donors and their customers. If they disappear into housing that's fine, but he's ok with other solutions too so long as they happen now now now
Los Angeles County, in particular, has become a frequent target of Newsom’s ire. The governor again criticized the county on Thursday for delaying implementation of a law that expands the criteria for people to be detained against their will.
Sounds like they didn't hear he was involved until they'd already been trafficked
From the Wired article linked within,
One of the canvassers, who was flown in from outside the Midwest, tells WIRED they had no idea they would be knocking on doors in support of Trump or that the subcontractor they were working for was part of Elon Musk’s voter-turnout operation through America PAC.
“I knew nothing of the job, or much of the job description, other than going door to door and asking the voters who are they voting for,” says a door knocker who was one of the people in the back of the van and who is requesting anonymity because they signed a nondisclosure agreement. “Then, after I signed over an NDA, is when I found out we are for Republicans and with Trump.”
The door knocker adds that they had “overheard my supervisor and a few others mention Elon Musk” by name, marking the first time they had heard of the billionaire X owner’s involvement.
Two people with knowledge of the matter said on Friday night that 17 inspectors general had been terminated; a third person said on Saturday morning that the figure was at least twelve. A White House spokesman would not comment for the record, and did not respond to a request for a list of those who had been terminated.
The confusion is the point, it's not incompetence it's tactical obfuscation and a bit of emotive "how dare these peasants ask us to explain ourselves"
Also (from another article)
The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires the president to give both houses of Congress reasons for the dismissals 30 days in advance.
In any sane country these inspectors would be showing up to work on Monday with court orders slapping Trump down in hand to start working on investigations into why exactly Donald Trump wanted to fire them so badly
And this isn't even the first clown shitshow of a government we've voted in this century
Please, marginalized people get more explicitly threatening crap said to them all the time and people rarely get arrested or charged for that. She's being charged because the system wants to make an example out of her. The judge basically said so himself at the bail hearing,
