The recent revelations about Elon Musk's associates taking over key positions at the Office of Personnel Management are deeply concerning. Installing unqualified individuals with clear conflicts of interest and ideological agendas threatens the integrity and nonpartisan nature of the federal workforce. This appears to be part of a broader effort to purge career civil servants and replace them with political loyalists, undermining the democratic system of governance. Allowing private interests to exert such influence over the management of federal personnel is a dangerous precedent that erodes accountability and public trust. Urgent action is needed to investigate these troubling developments, enforce ethical standards, and protect the apolitical civil service that is vital to a well-functioning government that serves all Americans fairly and impartially. The independence of federal agencies and the dedicated career professionals who staff them must be safeguarded from partisan interference and cronyism. Please urge your colleagues to take action along with you to stop this coup.
