House Democrats are pushing all major Washington agency chiefs to reject recent requests from Elon Musk that federal workers must detail or fire recent work results. .
More than 100 Democrats approvedMonday letterLeaders of 24 federal agencies characterized the mischief of masks and strengthened subsequent memos from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), as an unprecedented or unbinding illegal move.
They not only reject the order, but also urge the agency heads to explicitly state that federal workers will not be fired for violations.
“Mr. The mask threat is reckless, cruel, illegal and unenforceable,” said Democrat.I wrote it. “You will take immediate action to make it clear that federal employees of your agency are not obligated to respond to this inappropriate email stunt and that their non-response cannot constitute a resignation. It needs to be taken.”
The letter, led by Sen. Jerry Connolly (Virginia), a senior Democrat on the House of Representatives Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is just the latest round of the latest round from civil servants in response to mask requests. He posted on the X platform on Saturday. What he owns.
“In line with @RealdonaldTrump's instructions, all federal employees will receive an email promptly requesting a request to understand what they did last week.”The mask was written. “A failure to respond will be considered a resignation.”
Shortly afterwards, OPM sent an email to hundreds of thousands of federal workers who were intensifying the threat of masks.
“Please reply to this email about. CC's CC with five bullets of what you've achieved this week and your manager,” OPM said Saturday afternoon.
Federal workers were told they should comply until the end of Monday.

And some of them are the most notable picks of President Trump's executive officers, including Secretary Marco Rubio, FBI Director Kash Patel and Secretary of State Tarsi Gabbard, National Intelligence Director. He is led. Jurisdiction to ignore orders – at least for now.
However, other agencies are Musk and OPM siding, including employees' Ministry of Finance.He reportedly received a notification on Monday.They must follow reporting requirements.
Musk's actions are supported by many conservatives.Long accusationThe federal government is a breeding ground for sloths and incompetents that create disease for the nation.
Democrats have a distinctly different view, but the central institutions of the country are noting that they don't work without workers who make them check.
“Whether Musk understands that or not, America is a country of law, our government is a system of checks and balance, and federal agencies are not reorganized by social media posts. ” Connolly and the Democrats wrote Monday.
“This stunt is another of the cruel and arbitrary confusion that Musk gives to the American people, as he carelessly “takes a chainsaw” on people's government and the dedicated civil servants who keep it running. Here's an example. ”
