🦬 I’m glad the House and Senate passed the Epstein Files Transparanecy Act, but a general reminder that this administration is anything *but* transparent. Remember when a court ordered DOI to submit its RIF plans, and they submitted 64 pages of redactions instead? I remember.

A government document that is completely redacted.

🦬 Yeah, this administration is in no position to tell an organization how they should operate when Sec. "Cookie Monster" Burgum regularly orders his subordinates to bake cookies for him... Weird and embarrassing. @protectparks.bsky.social please know you have the REAL DOI's love & support. ❤️‍🩹

She spent three months as “Chief of Staff” at OPM (immediately after being hired) and spent that time…firing probationary employees, only for a court to rule it unlawful and bring them back.

A screenshot of text from the following document: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.444883/gov.uscourts.cand.444883.127.3.pdf

The text says:

"The tremendous uncertainty associated with this confusion and these
administrative burdens would preclude supervisors from appropriately managing their
workforce. Work schedules and assignments would effectively be tied to hearing and briefing
schedules set by the courts. It would be extremely difficult to assign new work to reinstated
individuals in light of the uncertainty over their future status.
14. Finally, offering reinstatement to terminated probationary or trial period
appointees will interfere with the effective functioning of the Department. On and after February
14, 2025, the Department has made meaningful changes to address the challenged terminations,
including reassigning the duties performed by the terminated individuals, many of whom would
have no duties to perform if they accepted reinstatement.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true
and correct.
Dated: March 14, 2025"

"Hey, this whole situation is seriously messed up. You deserve better than being treated like a disposable pawn. At least there's supposedly backpay coming and a plan to bring you back, but being jerked around like this is completely disrespectful. Hang in there - this bureaucratic nightmare isn't your fault."
