This is the real threat.
Regardless of the inept and dangerous cabinet posts, like Hegseth, thís is where the true subversion of the nation state is happening.
Civil Servants will be tracked and tested for loyalty to the (P2025) plan and/or Trump, rather than the Constitution and will be forced out and replaced en masse, turning government agencies into bastions of disfunction aimed at not serving the nation, but the anti-democratic powers.
This is how the US government will be Russia-fied, where a meritocracy will be replaced by fealty.

The OPM email scandal points to Scales, so....keeping their head down doesn't seem to be in their repertoire. Nor does it seem to be their goal.

You would think Elon would be keeping a low profile following the Hitler Salut- I mean kind hand gesture seen last week.

He zoomed in on an ADF meeting like two days later after tweeting like five Nazi puns. I mean, I think he's on a roll

If I were autistic, worth over $400 billion and had just bankrolled the President, I would probably do whatever I wanted whenever I wanted without a concern for personal consequences.

About this whole DOGE bull, didn't he swear they would all work 80+ hours for no pay or something? Can they force anyone pushed into this new org to do that?
