Trump Tightens Control of Federal Workforce as Musk Pulls Back From DOGE
The administration’s HR wing is approving new federal positions and firings, judging employees on their ‘faithful administration’ of the president’s policies
The Trump administration is moving to consolidate control over the hiring and firing of federal workers, positioning a key agency to continue some of Elon Musk’s shrinking of the U.S. government as the Tesla CEO pulls back from Washington.
The effort is centralized in the Office of Personnel Management, the human-resources arm of the government. The office, a hub of Musk’s project, has begun approving positions federal agencies want to add, according to agency bulletins reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. That is a change; agencies have typically decided which positions they filled.

🔥 Emperor Zelensky Plays with Fire, While Congresswoman Spartz Does Color Commentary from the Sidelines
Ukraine’s capital burns in slow motion. Russian drones rain down like biblical plagues.
And somewhere between Kyiv and Indiana, Victoria Spartz — America’s only Ukrainian-born congresswoman — offers her tactical advice: “Give up and fire the president.”
“If they elect him, they’re going to lose the rest of the country.”
“Zelensky’s not playing well this season. Might need to bench him. Maybe trade Crimea for peace and a mid-range quarterback.”
There is an interesting report that just came out from Reuters citing a “source in Hezb-Allah”, will wait for Lebanese media outlets to comment…
