Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You first.
In a rare turn of events, Gerry Connelly is actually making some noise over that.
Absolutely nowhere near what AOC would be in his position, but I was surprised to see Connelly even released a letter about it.
But the reason they want this is to claim an AI going over the responses counts as an "appropriate review" necessary before DoD RIF of probies.
But there's already multiple lawsuits over how DOGE/OPM have zero authority to be acting like every agency's HR and sending out this shit
“POTUS.”
I won't even respond to supervisors outside my department when questioned about my work. I damn sure wouldn't entertain an individual that has no credentials and doesn't belong there.
See: Curtis Yarvin - his ideas are what drive and guide folk like musk, Vance, thiel, etc.
He wrote of a concept called RAGE.
Retire All Government Employees.
(He's also a madman, racist, sexist, technocratic authoritarian who has some extremely disturbing views and plans for the future. Things are not going to get better until him and his clan are completely removed from any station of power or influence. And, indeed, from this planet. They want us dead. Or as slaves. And that is putting it mildly.)
Hes also not very smart and his reasoning is based on historical context that is filled with historical inaccuracies or cherry picked to support his arguments.
Further evidence that the only thing the Elon has is money. Not an original thought in there.
That makes Trump the actor on third-hand thoughts.
Such power.
Shut up bitch tits.
Go back to South Africa.
Go back to South Africa
Nope, they don’t want colonisers back. You guys let him in and gave him a chainsaw, so he’s yours now. Good luck.
Javier Milei, President of Argentina gave him the chainsaw if I am not mistaken.
“This email looks exactly like all of the phishing email examples that federal employees see in training over and over again,” a Commerce Department employee, similarly granted anonymity, said. “I’m not responding to it.”
I mean it essentially is a phishing email, just like "your social security number will be cancelled unless you provide sensitive info here". Elon Musk is an active cybersecurity threat vector to the functioning of the United States.
Just tell them to get fucked. They have no official control over your employment.
Should be short and sweet that explanation:
This week I have been fighting fascists who, under the guise of an illegitimate 'agency' and their deranged nazi saluting moronic leader, are trying to undermine and plunder our offices. I expect to do the same next week.
Oh, I've seen this somewhere else!
Has the US government stop responding every other day already?
Future historians are going to look back on all this with bewilderment. They’ll be baffled at how the US let a Ketamine addict use a chainsaw to totally devastate institutions that took decades to build.
I'm not sure most employees can explain their jobs in terms musk would understand. Imagine having to eli5'ing your job.
Will any human read the explanations?
Probably the answers will just be run through an "AI" that flags any no-no words like diversie, woman, justice or environment.
Well I am sure a lot of the responses will be generated by AI... Just like how this article seems to be written by AI.
"I'm a people person! I talk to the people so the engineers don't have to!"
That doesn't sound at all like an efficient way to go about things.
