Donald Trump won an election that will return him to the White House by securing Wisconsin, the same state that put him over the top when he won in 2016.

🚨Read/copy/repost if you can: From an anonymous OPM employee on Reddit. submitted 3 hours ago by Throwaway918284: "I'm a current employee at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). This is a throwaway account for obvious reasons. I’m posting this because people need to know what’s going on at OPM. I’ve been an OPM employee for nearly a decade and a Federal Employee for almost 20 years. I’ve never witnessed anything even remotely close to what’s happening right now. In short, there's a hostile takeover of the federal civil service. Let me say this in no uncertain terms — OPM has been compromised and taken over. The very backbone of American Government, the HR of all HR in the U.S. Government has been taken over by outside politicals. In just five days, they managed to push aside dozens of non-political, career civil servants who were there specifically to prevent the civil service from becoming the President's henchmen. The current Acting Director, Charles (Chuck) Ezell is a low-level branch chief. He's the friendliest “yes man” you'll ever meet. He never says no. It’s clear they pushed aside all the high-level non political civil servants who refused to do Donald Trump's bidding, until they found Chuck. Under his name, they’ve sent numerous requests to all the agencies to collect information on gov't employees that they see as a threat to their agenda. Instructions say to send these lists to Amanda Scales. But Amanda is not actually an OPM employee, she works for Elon Musk. She wasn’t even properly cleared by OPM Personnel Security. Our CIO, Melvin Brown, (also a non political career public servant) was pushed aside just one week into his tenure because he refused to setup email lists to send out direct communications to all career civil servants. Such communications are normally left up to each agency. Instead, an on-prem (on-site) email server was setup. Someone literally walked into our building and plugged in an email server to our network to make it appear that emails were coming from OPM. It's been the one sending those various “test” message you've all seen. We think they're building a massive email list of all federal employees to generate mass RIF notices down the road. The non-political civil servants here at OPM are watching helplessly as our government is being systematically dismantled bit by bit. Even the IGs are being fired to prevent them from investigating the numerous whistleblower complaints we've filed. Please share this and tell the world that OPM is not the bad guy. We're just as helpless to stop this as the rest of our fellow public servants. Hopefully someone out there can help us, but it’s looking pretty grim." H/T @sandibachom

In the immediate aftermath of Hitler's appointment as Chancellor on January 30, 1933, his opposition's response was marked by a combination of underestimation and disorganization that proved fatal to their cause. The Social Democratic Party (SPD), then Germany's largest opposition party, initially adopted a cautious legal approach. They believed the constitutional system would contain Hitler's power and chose to operate within parliamentary boundaries rather than calling for direct resistance. This proved to be a significant miscalculation. When the Reichstag fire occurred on February 27, the SPD found itself severely restricted by the subsequent emergency decree, limiting their ability to campaign effectively in the March elections. The Communist Party (KPD) took a more confrontational stance, calling for a general strike and attempting to organize armed resistance. However, their efforts were quickly suppressed following the Reichstag fire, with thousands of their members arrested within days. Their leader, Ernst Thälmann, was arrested on March 3, effectively decapitating the party leadership. The Catholic Center Party, led by Ludwig Kaas, attempted to negotiate with Hitler's government, hoping to protect Catholic interests through legal agreements. This culminated in their fateful decision to support the Enabling Act on March 23, which gave Hitler dictatorial powers. They believed they could secure guarantees for religious freedom in exchange for their support, a strategy that ultimately failed. The trade unions made a particularly crucial error in their response. Rather than organizing immediate resistance, they attempted to accommodate the new regime. On March 21, the General German Trade Union Federation (ADGB) issued a statement declaring their neutrality and willingness to work with the government, hoping this would preserve their organizational structure. This decision left them vulnerable to the subsequent Nazi takeover of their organizations in May 1933. The conservative opposition, including former Chancellor Franz von Papen and other nationalist leaders, continued to believe they could control Hitler from within the government. This illusion persisted even as Hitler systematically consolidated his power and eliminated rival centers of authority. By failing to mount a unified and immediate resistance, and by underestimating Hitler's determination to establish total control, the opposition parties effectively sealed their own fate. Their disparate and often contradictory responses in these crucial early months enabled Hitler to eliminate them one by one, setting the stage for the complete Nazi takeover of German society.
