A team including current and former employees of Musk assumed command of OPM on Jan. 20, the day Trump took office. They have moved sofa beds onto the fifth floor of the agency's headquarters, which contains the director's office and can only be accessed with a security badge or a security escort, one of the OPM employees said.

The sofa beds have been installed so the team can work around the clock, the employee said. //

Before even getting to timed scripts, the number of government jobs that could be replaced simply with a mouse macro is astounding!

This is very good news. I’ll bet Musk told Trump to so. I work in InfoSec and this is best practice when there’s a risk of employees sabotaging systems.

Locking out HR means they want to review historical records like job titles without interference. The HR data will help expose deep state operatives via unearned promotions as well as DEI hires.

Expect to see a lot of people let go who worked on DEI, for hiding DEI hires or sneaking political appointees into non-political positions. This is a solid win.

Preventing them from hiding what they were doing, especially with respect to DEI crap, does seem like the most likely reason for this action.b

In Trump 1 he was resisted by the deep state in the shadows of the government. Trump 2: shine lights in those shadows before they have a chance to destroy evidence like the J-6 committee did. They never thought he would lock up the HR records on day 1. Who is working from ‘home’ and charging 20 hours of OT per pay period. Who applied for accommodations for a new disability after Nov. 5 so they could keep working from home. Etc.

Post J6. How much research? How many interviews? How many task forces assembled? How much does Trump know that he didn't know at the end of the first term?

Consider the last four years a gift. Add one bumbling figurehead and a successor that instilled no confidence, and the colossal loss to the democrat brand just ices the cake. //

"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."

I'm gonna stop right there and ask what in the hell those systems were doing unlocked?! After all Obama sold my info once, it's not like it's any better the second time. //
