An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Urgent Congressional oversight needed for OPM under Musk appointees

24 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

There are valid concerns about the actions taken by Elon Musk's appointees at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Locking career civil servants out of key data systems containing sensitive personnel information for millions of federal employees raises significant cybersecurity risks and a lack of proper oversight. It is imperative that Congress exercises its constitutionally mandated oversight role to investigate these developments at OPM. The reports indicate Musk's team is operating without transparency, installing amenities like sofa beds to work around the clock while sidelining senior career officials from accessing vital systems. This unilateral approach undermines institutional knowledge and raises questions about the motivations behind these actions. Potential misuse or exposure of confidential employee data could have severe repercussions. I urge you to call for immediate Congressional hearings to scrutinize the situation at OPM. Career civil servants must be able to perform their duties without undue interference, and the American people deserve assurances that their personal information is being properly safeguarded. Rigorous oversight is needed to ensure accountability and restore proper protocols at this critical federal agency entrusted with managing the federal workforce. Swift action is warranted to address these troubling developments.
