"Musk is following the #Project2025 playbook...

The explicit plan is to replace federal workers who #Musk forces out with people who pass "ideological purity tests," largely based on their eagerness to make #America something very much like a #theocracy."

Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s radical drive to slash billions of dollars in annual federal spending with huge job and regulatory cuts is spurring charges that they have made illegal moves while undercutting congressional and judicial powers, say legal experts, Democrats and state attorneys general.

#PURGE #TRUMP #PRESS

#Trump plans to examine scores of #FBI agents involved in investigations tied to Trump & his *supporters* [foot soldiers], setting up a potential #purge of the FBI’s leaders as well as rank-&-file agents….The revelation comes a day after #KashPatel, Trump’s nominee to lead the FBI, testified under oath before #Congress that the FBI would not carry out a campaign of #retribution, & as a handful of senior FBI employees have been told to resign within days or be fired.

"Several top FBI execs promoted by Dir Wray were told today to resign or retire, and told they'll be demoted or reassigned if they don’t leave, mult. sources tell me. This includes about a half dozen “exec asst. directors,” who're some of the bureau’s top managers. They oversee criminal, natsec & cyber investigations -career civil servants, so can't be fired w/o cause."

Apparently Republican lawmakers have no red line. They're complicit.
