Rugian Member	Tue Jan 21 07:20:09 Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Our first day in the White House is not over yet! My Presidential Personnel Office is actively in the process of identifying and removing over a thousand Presidential Appointees from the previous Administration, who are not aligned with our vision to Make America Great Again. Let this serve as Official Notice of Dismissal for these 4 individuals, with many more, coming soon: Jose Andres from the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition, Mark Milley from the National Infrastructure Advisory Council, Brian Hook from the Wilson Center for Scholars, and Keisha Lance Bottoms from the President’s Export Council—YOU’RE FIRED! http://tru...Trump/posts/113864692804149616
Rugian Member	Tue Jan 21 07:30:57 Pentagon removes new portrait of Mark Milley The portrait of Gen. Mark Milley, the former Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, disappeared Monday from the Pentagon — less than three hours after President Donald Trump took office. Incoming Defense Department officials did not explain the portrait’s removal, which the Biden administration hung less than two weeks ago in the spot with other former Pentagon chairs. President Joe Biden, in his last hours in office, issued a preemptive pardon for Milley and other officials who he feared Trump would retaliate against for real or perceived slights. http://www...-mark-milley-portrait-00199441

Rugian Member	Tue Jan 21 07:53:19 President Donald Trump is imposing an across-the-board government hiring freeze and ordering federal workers to return to the office full time. Trump signed executive orders on both policies Monday as part of his Day One executive orders, taking aim at the government workforce that he has long regarded as hostile. The order on the hiring freeze, which is effective immediately, bars all agencies and departments from filling vacant positions and calls on them to “seek efficient use of existing personnel and funds to improve public services and the delivery of these services.” The hiring freeze does not apply to the military or positions related to immigration enforcement, national security or public safety. Within the next 90 days, the order said, the Office of Management and Budget, Office of Personnel Management and the so-called Department of Government Efficiency directors will submit a plan to reduce the size of the federal workforce. DOGE is run by Elon Musk, whose businesses include government contractors. Trump has called his pick to lead the OMB, Russell Vought, an “aggressive cost cutter and deregulator.” The memorandum noted that it would not abrogate any collective bargaining agreements currently in effect. Still, the American Federation of Government Employees National President Everett Kelley slammed the move, saying the action “is not about making the federal government run more efficiently but rather is about sowing chaos and targeting a group of patriotic Americans that President Trump openly calls crooked and dishonest.” In a separate memo, Trump mandated that all agencies “as soon as practicable” halt remote work policies “and require employees to return to work in-person at their respective duty stations on a full-time basis.” The federal government, with over 2 million employees, is the country’s largest employer. An OMB report released earlier this year found that over half the federal workforce either works from home regularly or is fully remote. http://www...nd-end-to-remote-work-00199548
Rugian Member	Tue Jan 21 08:05:04 RESTORING ACCOUNTABILITY FOR CAREER SENIOR EXECUTIVES January 20, 2025 Career Senior Executive Service (SES) officials are charged to “ensure that the executive management of the Government of the United States is responsive to the needs, policies, and goals of the Nation and otherwise is of the highest quality,” as required by section 3131 of title 5, United States Code. SES officials have enormous influence over the functioning of the Federal Government, and thus the well-being of hundreds of millions of Americans. As the Constitution makes clear, and as the Supreme Court of the United States has reaffirmed, “the ‘executive Power’ — all of it — is ‘vested in a President,’ who must ‘take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.’” Seila Law LLC v. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 591 U.S. 197, 203 (2020). “Because no single person could fulfill that responsibility alone, the Framers expected that the President would rely on subordinate officers for assistance.” Id. at 203–04. The President’s power to remove subordinates is a core part of the Executive power vested by Article II of the Constitution and is necessary for the President to perform his duty to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” Because SES officials wield significant governmental authority, they must serve at the pleasure of the President. Only that chain of responsibility ensures that SES officials are properly accountable to the President and the American people. If career SES officials fail to faithfully fulfill their duties to advance the needs, policies, and goals of the United States, the President must be able to rectify the situation and ensure that the entire Executive Branch faithfully executes the law. For instance, SES officials who engage in unauthorized disclosure of Executive Branch deliberations, violate the constitutional rights of Americans, refuse to implement policy priorities, or perform their duties inefficiently or negligently should be held accountable. The President must be able to trust that the Executive Branch will work together in service of the Nation. My Administration will restore a “government of the people, by the people, for the people.” Therefore: (a) Within 30 days of the signing of this memorandum, the Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), in coordination with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), shall issue SES Performance Plans that agencies must adopt; (b) Agency heads, who along with their senior staff manage career SES officials as one of their core functions, shall use all available authorities to reinvigorate the SES system and prioritize accountability; (c) Each agency head shall, as necessary and appropriate and consistent with the procedural requirements of section 3395 of title 5, United States Code, reassign agency SES members to ensure their knowledge, skills, abilities, and mission assignments are optimally aligned to implement my agenda; (d) Each agency head should terminate its existing Executive Resources Board (ERB), institute a new or interim ERB, and assign senior noncareer officials to chair and serve on the board as a majority alongside career members; (e) Each agency head should terminate its existing Performance Review Board membership and re-constitute membership with individuals committed to full enforcement of SES performance evaluations that promote and assure an SES of the highest caliber; and (f) Any agency head who becomes aware of an SES official whose performance or continued occupancy of the position is inconsistent with either the principles reaffirmed in this Order or their duties to the Nation under section 3131 of title 5, United States Code, shall immediately take all appropriate actions, up to and including removal of that official, with the support of OPM and OMB. Restoring an accountable government workforce is a top priority of my Administration. http://www...-for-career-senior-executives/
Rugian Member	Fri Jan 24 11:22:50 The purge continues! ----- "On Tuesday, a day after Donald Trump’s inauguration as the new U.S. president, the Department of Homeland Security told members of several advisory committees that they were effectively fired. Among the committees impacted is the Cyber Safety Review Board, or CSRB, according to sources familiar with the board who spoke to TechCrunch, as well as reporting by other news outlets. The CSRB was made up of both private sector and government cybersecurity experts. One person familiar with the CSRB, who received the letter informing them that their membership in the CSRB was being terminated, criticized the decision. “Shutting down all DHS advisory boards without consideration of the impact was horribly shortsighted,” the person, who asked to remain anonymous, told TechCrunch. “Stopping the CSRB review when China has ongoing cyberattacks into our critical infrastructure is a dangerous blunder. We need to learn from Salt Typhoon and protect ourselves better. The fact this isn’t a priority for Trump is telling.” “You can’t stop what you don’t understand and the CSRB was arming us with understanding,” the person added. The person was referring to the CSRB’s review of the devastating recent breaches at several telecoms in the U.S., allegedly carried out by Chinese government hackers. In response to a request for comment, DHS provided a comment from an unnamed DHS senior official. “Effective immediately, the Department of Homeland Security will no longer tolerate any advisory committee which push agendas that attempt to undermine its national security mission, the President’s agenda or Constitutional rights of Americans,” read the statement. The DHS spokesperson did not respond when asked to provide a name. “In alignment with the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) commitment to eliminating the misuse of resources and ensuring that DHS activities prioritize our national security, I am directing the termination of all current memberships on advisory committees within DHS, effective immediately,” read the letter sent to members of the CSRB. http://tec...orribly-shortsighted-decision/
Rugian Member	Fri Jan 24 11:25:14 Anthony Fauci's security team is FIRED! ---- Trump cuts Fauci’s security detail by Brett Samuels - 01/24/25 12:12 PM ET President Trump on Friday defended the removal of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s security detail, suggesting former government officials should not get indefinite security even as Fauci and others have faced threats. “When you work for government, at some point your security detail comes off. And you know, you can’t have them forever. So, I think it’s very standard,” Trump told reporters in North Carolina. Asked if he would feel partially responsible if something were to happen to Fauci, Trump said he would not, adding that Fauci and others could hire private security. “You know, they all made a lot of money. They can hire their own security, too,” Trump said. “Certainly I would not take responsibility.” http://the...082-trump-ends-fauci-security/
tumbleweed the wanderer	Fri Jan 24 12:04:36 has he pulled security off everyone who was getting it or just his foes? (i mean it's obviously entirely personal, but is it proven so, beyond being obvious) ...though since most everyone who ever worked for him hates him, plus sometimes Trump's the reason they are under threat to begin with, there may not be any non-foes w/ protection
Rugian Member	Fri Jan 24 12:08:38 Foes of MAGA will be unprotected, true! Newly freed J6 members, stand back and stand by! ---- United States President Donald Trump has cancelled security protections for Mike Pompeo, Brian Hook and John Bolton, hawkish foreign policy advisers who served during his first term in office. The New York Times broke the story on Thursday about Trump revoking protection for Pompeo, the former director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). According to anonymous sources familiar with the matter, Trump’s order took effect on Wednesday at 11pm Eastern Time (04:00 GMT, Thursday), stripping both Pompeo and Hook, a former top aide, of their security details. That follows an earlier report that Trump did the same for Bolton, his former national security adviser. Bolton confirmed the news to CNN with a statement on Tuesday: “I am disappointed but not surprised.” Trump has since defended that decision, calling Bolton a “very dumb person”. “We’re not going to have security on people for the rest of their lives. Why should we?” Trump said. http://www...ns-for-mike-pompeo-john-bolton

tumbleweed the wanderer	Fri Jan 24 16:43:06 it's a good thing Trump understands FEMA so well before making decisions on it & i hope he turned on that valve in CA that puts out all the fires while he was 'inspecting' things (a complete waste of time for all involved)

Rugian Member	Mon Jan 27 20:15:02 BYE BYE!!!!! "The Justice Department has fired more than a dozen prosecutors who worked on special counsel Jack Smith’s prosecutions of President Donald Trump, a DOJ official said Monday. “Acting Attorney General James McHenry made this decision because he did not believe these officials could be trusted to faithfully implement the President’s agenda because of their significant role in prosecuting the President,” said the DOJ official, who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly." http://www...nt-firings-jack-smith-00200845
tumbleweed the wanderer	Mon Jan 27 21:35:51 not even pretending they did anything wrong... & nobody ever trying to show how Trump didn't do something wrong... goodbye, good people... neutral or evil only need apply
obaminated Member	Mon Jan 27 21:44:18 Why exactly should we be in NATO when the other nations don't pay what's required of them for their militaries?
murder Member	Tue Jan 28 05:40:59 No amount of "payment" or spending is required. But NATO should be dissolved. It should have been dissolved before, and it is effectively dissolved now because the US is menacing it's allies.
Rugian Member	Wed Jan 29 09:44:22 DEMOTIONS FOR TRAITORS INCOMING!!!! ---- CNN — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday revoked the security detail and security clearance for Gen. Mark Milley, according to Pentagon spokesman John Ullyot, an unprecedented move against the former top US general who became a frequent target of President Donald Trump. Hegseth, in only his second full day on the job, also directed the department’s inspector general to launch an investigation into Milley’s “conduct” to determine whether a review of his rank is necessary. The statement does not specify what conduct Hegseth believes would warrant a review of Milley’s rank. http://www...urity-detail-pulled/index.html
Rugian Member	Wed Jan 29 09:47:48 Federal employees must return to the office or they're FIRED! ---- The White House issued a memo Tuesday offering to pay federal workers who don't want to return to the office through Sept. 30, as long as they resign by Feb. 6. Why it matters: The action, first reported by Axios, marks an acceleration in President Trump's already unprecedented purge of the federal workforce. Driving the news: The Office of Personnel Management described the offer as administrative leave with pay and benefits. More information was shared by OPM later on Tuesday online in a memo titled, "A Fork in the Road." State of play: Employees who wish to resign were told: "1) Select "Reply" to this email. You must reply from your government account. A reply from an account other than your .gov or .mil account will not be accepted. 2)Type the word "Resign" into the body of this reply email. Hit "Send." The White House expects 5% to 10% of federal employees to accept the offer, which would potentially mean hundreds of thousands of people. The administration projects the buyouts could ultimately save taxpayers up to $100 billion a year. The offer applies to all full-time federal employees, except for military personnel, the Postal Service, and those working in immigration enforcement or national security. http://www...federal-workers-quit-severance
Rugian Member	Wed Jan 29 09:50:57 Think your job as a DC swamp creature is safe? WRONG. ---- Newly released guidelines suggest a wide range of federal employees could lose employment protections under President Trump's new Schedule F. Why it matters: The memo, released Monday by the Office of Personnel and Management (OPM), indicates that the Trump team is looking to reclassify thousands of federal employees and strip them of legal protections from political firings, legal experts say. It's "broadly worded; just about anyone in the civil service could be swept up into this category," Alan Lescht, a D.C.-based employment lawyer who represents federal workers, tells Axios. State of play: OPM's memo sets deadlines for agencies to determine which workers might be subjected to Trump's executive order. And it offers recommendations for who should be considered, including those who: Are involved in "important policy-making or policy-determining functions," like directing "an organizational unit," overseeing the success of "specific programs or projects" or "monitoring progress toward organizational goals"; Have the authority "to bind the agency to a position, policy or course of action" or "to make decisions committed by law to the discretion of the agency head"; Are involved in agency grant-making, "such as the substantive exercise of discretion in the drafting of funding opportunity announcements, evaluation of grant applications or recommending or selecting grant recipients"; Advocate for agency or administration policies "before different governmental entities"; Advocate publicly for agency or administration policies, "including before the news media or on social media"; Have position descriptions "entailing policy-making, policy-determining or policy-advocating duties."

Rugian Member	Wed Jan 29 21:48:08 "WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Security agents escorted the inspector general of the U.S. Department of Agriculture out of her office on Monday after she refused to comply with her firing by the Trump administration, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. Phyllis Fong, a 22-year veteran of the department, had earlier told colleagues that she intended to stay after the White House terminated her Friday, saying that she didn’t believe the administration had followed proper protocols, the sources said. In an email to colleagues on Saturday, reviewed by Reuters, she said the independent Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency “has taken the position that these termination notices do not comply with the requirements set out in law and therefore are not effective at this time.” After this article was published, a USDA spokesperson said Fong left the office Monday on her own accord. "She was accompanied by two friends who she paused to take selfies with on her way out. Security officials did not play any role in her departure,” the spokesperson said. The White House defended the firing of Fong and the other inspectors general, saying "these rogue, partisan bureaucrats... have been relieved of their duties in order to make room for qualified individuals who will uphold the rule of law and protect Democracy."" http://www...eneral-escorted-181201489.html

Rugian Member	Fri Jan 31 21:35:59 FBI? More like F B FIRED ------ The Trump administration forced out a number of FBI officials Friday, removing agents who worked on the criminal cases into President Trump as well as the heads of various field offices. A source familiar said agents who had worked on the Mar-a-Lago and Jan. 6 investigations were escorted out of the Washington Field Office. The same source said officials in charge of the Washington, D.C., Miami, Seattle, New Orleans and Las Vegas field offices were removed. The full scope of the removals remains unclear but has sparked concerns from members of Congress. A statement from Sen. Mark Warner (Va.), the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, indicated the move may have impacted “dozens” of agents. The Hill reported earlier Friday that the five executive assistant directors of the bureau were notified they would be demoted. That move targeted the band of top officials who oversee the FBI’s five internal branches and are among the highest-ranking career positions in the bureau. http://the...tion-forces-out-fbi-officials/
Rugian Member	Fri Jan 31 21:50:09 The federal prosecutors (persecutors) of the J6 martyrs are hereby FIRED. Everyone except for the DNC, CNN, MSNBC, Aaron Rupar, Acyn, and tumbleweed are celebrating. ---- The Justice Department abruptly fired dozens of prosecutors who worked on criminal cases stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, according to correspondence reviewed by POLITICO and an interview with one of the people who were terminated. Interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin emailed the employees just before 5 p.m. Friday, appending a memo from acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove revealing an effort to root out employees the Trump administration considers improperly hired by the outgoing Biden administration. One of the fired prosecutors who handled some of the 1,600 criminal cases stemming from the Jan. 6 riot said about 25 to 30 colleagues were fired. Some prosecutors were also moved to different offices, according to the fired individual, who is a former assistant U.S. attorney and spoke to POLITICO on the condition of anonymity because he fears further reprisals. “Today we received direction about some folks leaving our employment,” Martin wrote in his terse email to staff at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia. Martin is a longtime crusader for Jan. 6 rioters; Trump tapped him to fill the role of the district’s top prosecutor on an interim basis. The full-time U.S. attorney position requires Senate confirmation. Martin’s email attached a memo from Bove, a high-ranking official at Main Justice who formerly represented Trump in his criminal cases, including the federal case in which Trump was charged with subverting the 2020 election and stoking the Jan. 6 riot. Bove’s memo cited a department-wide effort to terminate so-called probationary employees who had been converted to “permanent” status by the Biden administration in the weeks after the 2024 election. http://www...utors-january-6-cases-00201904
Rugian Member	Sun Feb 02 20:07:37 Fuck around, find out! ---- Two top security officials at the US Agency for International Development were put on administrative leave Saturday night after attempting to refuse officials from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency access systems at the agency, even after DOGE personnel threatened to call law enforcement, multiple sources familiar told CNN. According to sources, personnel from the Musk-created office physically tried to access the USAID headquarters in Washington, DC, and were stopped. The DOGE personnel demanded to be let in and threatened to call US Marshals to be allowed access, two of the sources said. The DOGE personnel wanted to gain access to USAID security systems and personnel files, three sources said. Two of those sources also said the DOGE personnel wanted access to classified information, which only those with security clearances and a specific need to know are able to access. On Sunday, in response to CNN’s report about the incident, Musk said that “USAID is a criminal organization.” “Time for it to die,” he posted on X. It was one of many posts and reposts by the X owner attacking the agency on Sunday. http://www...als-leave-musk-doge/index.html

Rugian Member	Sun Feb 02 20:18:44 Nope! Swamp creatures being purged from the bureaucracy is perfectly right and proper. Let's hope the examples continue x100,000.
Rugian Member	Sun Feb 02 20:22:00 Bye bye bitch! ---- PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump has fired the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Rohit Chopra, in the latest purge of a Biden administration holdover. Chopra was one of the more important regulators from the previous Democratic administration who was still on the job since Trump took office on Jan. 20. Chopra’s tenure saw the removal of medical debt from credit reports and limits on overdrafts penalties, all based on the premise that the financial system could be fairer and more competitive in ways that helped consumers. But many in the financial industry viewed his actions as regulatory overreach. http://apn...b6b39d0eff05ea0c9bca4eacf55b79
Rugian Member	Sun Feb 02 20:42:07 Leftists are TERMINATED! ---- President Donald Trump removed multiple leaders from both the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and National Labor Relations Board Monday night. Charlotte Burrows, former EEOC chairwoman, and Jocelyn Samuels, a former EEOC commissioner, were both fired from their leadership roles at the agency, Federal News Network has learned. Burrows, who was first appointed as an EEOC commissioner in 2015, had recently been confirmed to a third term as chairwoman initially slated to last until July 2028. Samuels was appointed to her position in 2020, and her current term was expected to last until July 2026. “Removing me, along with Commissioner Samuels, well before the expiration of our terms is unprecedented and will undermine the efforts of this independent agency to do the important work of protecting employees from discrimination, supporting employers’ compliance efforts and expanding public awareness and understanding of federal employment laws,” Burrows wrote in a statement Tuesday. Samuels called Trump’s action a violation of the law and said she is “considering legal options” after her termination Monday night. “Removing me from my position before the expiration of my congressionally directed term is unprecedented, violates the law and represents a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of the EEOC as an independent agency — one that is not controlled by a single cabinet secretary but operates as a multi-member body whose varying views are baked into the commission’s design,” Samuels wrote in a statement. [Translation: She was riding high on being an unaccountable bureaucrat, and she's now in the Find Out stage of FAFO. Burn in hell, you evil bitch.] http://fed...aders-at-eeoc-nlrb/?readmore=1
Rugian Member	Sun Feb 02 21:04:34 Corrupt whore eliminated! ---- The highest-ranking career Treasury official resigned after a fight with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency associates over access to sensitive payment systems. David A. Lebryk, who has served in nonpolitical roles at the Treasury Department since 1989, announced his retirement on Friday, The Washington Post reported. He was appointed as acting treasury secretary by President Donald Trump until Scott Bessent was confirmed on Monday. Lebryk had a dispute with DOGE officials over access to payment systems that disburse trillions of dollars for government services. DOGE officials have been asking for access to the system since the election. The details of the rift aren’t clear, according to the Post. http://www...th-elon-musk-over-doge-access/
Rugian Member	Sun Feb 02 21:24:16 Ahahahahahahahahaha ---- President Trump fired acting chair of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), Democrat Gwynne Wilcox late Monday night, she told Axios. He also fired the general counsel of the labor board, Jennifer Abruzzo, a strong advocate for unionization. Together the dismissals signal a broad purge at the nation's labor regulator, which had been an exceptionally strong ally to workers and unions over the past four years. Wilcox was the NLRB's first Black woman board member. Under the national labor law, board members can only be fired for neglect of duty or malfeasance. Wilcox had served as acting board chair just for a few days at the end of the Biden administration — and it had been expected she would be replaced and resume her duties as board member. She said she was looking into the possibility for challenging her removal. Wilcox said "she just got a letter from the White House," and was still processing the news. "My term ends in August 2028, I believe that I should still be able to be a board member and contribute to this country." The board is now left with just two members —one Democratic and one Republican — not enough to reach any decisions until Trump appoints new board members. Wilcox said that in the letter Trump sent Monday night, he wrote that the NLRB hasn't fulfilled its responsibilities to the American people, and he believes he has the right to remove a board member — despite the labor law that says they can only be removed for neglect. Abruzzo landed in her role, after President Biden fired her predecessor Peter Robb— a Trump appointee. It was a controversial move — the first time a president had pushed someone out of the position, rather than waiting out their term. http://www.axios.com/2025/01/28/trump-nlrb-gwynne-wilcox

Rugian Member	Mon Feb 03 05:44:12 Hey hey, ho ho, woke contractors have got to go! ---- Musk says DOGE is halting Treasury payments to US contractors Elon Musk said his “DOGE team” of government efficiency enforcers is shutting down payments to federal contractors, suggesting that the world’s richest man may have access to sensitive systems used at the US Treasury Department. “The corruption and waste is being rooted out in real-time,” Musk posted on X, saying officials reporting to his so-called Department of Government Efficiency are “rapidly shutting down” payments to a Lutheran charity. “The @DOGE team discovered, among other things, that payment approval officers at Treasury were instructed always to approve payments, even to known fraudulent or terrorist groups. They literally never denied a payment in their entire career. Not even once,” Musk wrote on X. Musk said DOGE was shutting down payments by the US Department of Health and Human Services to Lutheran Family Services, a faith-based charity that has been providing social services to refugees. HHS and Lutheran Family Services didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. http://for...-contractors-lutheran-charity/
