Are we seeing the beginnings of Trump cabinet leaders aserting THEIR control over THEIR people from Elon Musk and the DOGE consultants?
(Some in Congress ARE AGAINST Musk’s OVERREACHING actions also, including some Republicans)
If so?
I am NOT surprised ….
There WILL BE more pushback across the board against auditor’s trying to run a government of 330 million….

“You may have received another email from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) asking for five points about your work,” an email from State Department official Tibor Nagy sent Saturday morning read. “As a reminder, Department leadership will continue to respond on the behalf of our workforce and employees until otherwise rescinded.”

It’s not clear how other agencies that handle sensitive materials will respond to the latest email. Other agencies like the Department of Justice and the FBI, which handle matters that can require security clearances, also directed their employees not to respond to the first OPM missive earlier this week. A DOJ spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment….
