“The earliest steps were to impose severe restrictions on all public-facing agency activity, fire the #independent #InspectorGeneral, rescind job offers, & institute a hiring freeze,” the #states’ lawsuit said. “The next steps were to remove the existing key leaders within the agencies unsympathetic to Secretary Kennedy’s favored views, & fire tens of thousands of the rank & file. This coordinated dismantling has stopped crucial work that plaintiff states relied upon.”

Musk’s rats:
They’re burrowing into every #data system in the federal govt, although many wouldn’t pass a #security test
robertreich.substack.com/p/dog

"Sure, there’s some waste & fraud in #government. That’s why every department had an #InspectorGeneral to find & stop it — until #Trump fired most of them. In addition, before Musk’s rats tunneled into the General Services Administration, accountants oversaw every department’s & agency’s spending.

In other words, the #coup continues."
