Summary

Elon Musk allegedly installed an unauthorized server at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), gaining access to sensitive federal employee data, including Social Security numbers, home addresses, and medical histories.

Young, inexperienced staffers are reportedly using this access to target positions for removal, particularly DEI offices.

Security concerns have been raised, with fears of hacking and HIPAA violations.

Senior officials have been locked out of key systems, limiting oversight of DOGE’s actions, which could significantly impact the federal workforce.

    I consider myself a Libertarian, so I am 2A, even though I voted Democrat in the last election. I don’t think people need full auto AKs, rocket launchers, etc but something reasonable to be able to protect themselves. My biggest issue is, if guns were banned, the criminals aren’t going to give theirs up, they don’t give a crap if it’s illegal to own one. I am also not opposed to reasonable background checks, make sure someone isn’t delusional before they can buy a gun. Responsible gun owners (myself included) don’t want to have to use our weapons against another human. Someone who thinks killing innocent people is “okay” needs mental help. I want to add: I am deeply troubled with what is going on in our country, this is a dangerous road we have started down, and we need to be prepared for what may come. I think tRump is only 2A because that’s what his supporters expect, I could totally see him banning guns for everyone but his “loyalists”
