Call script: “I’m deeply concerned re violations of fed cybersecurity laws & unauthorized use of external devices in fed systems. investigate violations.

Fed systems handle trillions of $s & personal data of millions of us. The stakes couldn’t be higher. Protect your constituents.

This site is a chaotic mess of unfocused information. Did you call your senators yet? Are you reading @altnps.bsky.social? Do you see how much illegal activity is happening thanks to Trump/Musk? Are you going to the state capitol Thursday?

Elon Musk staff has been caught installing hard drives inside the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Treasury Department, and the General Services Administration (GSA).

Attn: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent granted representatives of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency full access to the federal payment system!

USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.

More details will be released soon, but rampant illegal activity is occurring here.

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

It’s official: Elon Musk’s staffers have now illegally obtained classified information from the USAID office.

Here’s a recap of what’s happening:

Elon Musk now has access to your Social Security number. The world’s richest man has gained access to the confidential personal information of every taxpayer in the United States.

Check out my list on Amazon

If you know the generous poet, author, and publisher of Small Harbor and Harbor Review, Allison Blevins, you’ll know how much she has done for writers. You may want to support her as she begins chemotherapy. Here’s her wish list for supplies. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Gave a reading as part of a big group of readers at a big store called The Literary Cat Company. Apparently people like to listen to poetry near cats. That’s me in the black and white coat.
