An NYT headline that reads: Schumer Urged Democrats to Oppose Trump Nominees in Protest of His Policies
The Senate minority leader had initially said he would not lean on his colleagues to reflexively oppose every nominee, but changed his stance after the president’s actions generated heavy pressure from the left.

Every Republican in the Senate just voted to confirm Russell Vought. We’re going to hold them accountable for every piece of the Project 2025 agenda he implements and all the harm it causes to the families they’re supposed to represent.

Republican senators who spent the entire election distancing themselves from Project 2025 just voted to put its author in one of the most powerful positions in government.

🚨NEW memo from OPM aimed at cutting workers— All agencies told to send performance data to help administration develop "new metrics" for aligning with executive orders. Must provide list of all employees who received less than a “fully successful” performance rating in the past 3 years. Full text:

MEMORANDUM
TO: Heads and Acting Heads of Departments and Agencies
FROM: Charles Ezell, Acting Director, U.S. Office of Personnel Management
DATE: February 6, 2025
RE: Request for Agency Performance Management Data
President Trump’s Executive Order Reforming the Federal Hiring Process And Restoring Merit To Government Service (“Restoring Merit”) and the Presidential Memorandum Hiring Freeze initiated the process of reforming the federal workforce to prioritize merit and excellence.
Pursuant to the President’s direction in those executive orders, OPM is developing new performance metrics for evaluating the federal workforce that aligns with the priorities and standards in the President’s recent Executive Orders. To assist OPM in developing those metrics, no later than Friday, March 7, 2025, all agencies should submit data regarding their performance management plans and policies—including those contained in collective bargaining agreements— and identify any barriers to ensuring that 1) agency performance plans make meaningful distinctions based on relative employee performance and 2) the agency has the ability to swiftly terminate poor performing employees who cannot or will not improve. The data request is contained in Appendix 1. OPM will share a data collection template under separate cover. Please send these reports to tracking@opm.gov.

Appendix 1: Requests for Agency Performance Management Data
No later than Friday, March 7, 2025, each agency should report to OPM the following information:
All employees who received less than a “fully successful” performance rating in the past three years. With respect to each employee:

Name, job title, pay plan, series, grade, agency, component, and duty station;

Whether that employee is under or successfully completed a performance
improvement plan within the last 12 months;

Whether the agency has already proposed and issued a decision under Chapter 43 or 75, or equivalent procedures, and the outcome of any such decision; and
Whether the action is currently appealed or challenged and under what procedures (e.g., U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board, grievance-arbitration, U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, etc.), and any outcome.

Any OPM regulations, agency policies, or terms of collective bargaining agreements applicable to the agency that would impede:

agency performance plans from making meaningful distinctions based on relative employee performance; or

the agency’s ability to swiftly separate low-performing employees.

All reports should be sent to tracking@opm.gov with the subject “Agency Report on Performance Management.” If you have any questions regarding these reports, please send a message to tracking@opm.gov.

Screenshot of email from Troy Downing that reads:

Dear Ms. S:

Thank you for contacting me about abortion. I appreciate hearing from you on this issue.

I am a proud supporter of life and committed to speaking up for those without a voice. As the child of an unplanned pregnancy to an unwed teenage mother, I have a unique perspective on the issue of abortion. I am deeply grateful to God each day for life, freedom, and the ability to fight for the lives of the unborn.

While we may not agree on this issue, I will keep your thoughts in mind should legislation affecting abortion come to the floor for a vote.

Thank you again for taking the time to contact me. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me about other issues.
