TPM - Stay In Your Lane: Judiciary Rebukes Trump Admin For Email Blast To Court Employees

The administrative arm of the federal court system rebuked the Trump administration Friday for sending out an email blast to nearly the entire judiciary branch, including court employees and apparently every judge in the country.

Per emails reviewed by TPM, judiciary employees across the country received an an email from an human resources account run by the Office of Personnel and Management early Friday morning. The message indicated that OPM was testing a “new distribution and response list.”

The email prompted confusion among judiciary employees, in part because they do not work for the executive branch, and in part because the message asked them to click on a link, raising concerns that it may have been a phishing attempt.

But phishing attempt it was not: The message was real, and came as part of what OPM describes on its website as an initiative to create a government-wide means of emailing every civilian federal employee. OPM is an independent agency of the executive branch that operates like the human resources office for federal employees.

Officials with the Administrative Office of U.S. Courts, the agency that oversees the judicial branch workforce, quickly moved to remind both their staff and the Trump administration that they are different branches of government.

1. Isn't this email system a violation of Separation of Powers?

Trump should not have the need or ability to email every employee of the Legislative and Judicial branches of government.

File class action against the present administration.

3. Turner removed from House Intel Committee by Speaker Johnson at the behest of trDUMP.

... pulling Turner from his Chairmanship of the House Intelligence Committee because trDUMP found him too abrassive and critical about djt's admin. [Added: The executive branch has no right or authority to tamper with the operations of the legislative branch of our government. There is supposed to be a built in check/counter check in our system of government where one branch has free oversight over another branch unmolested by petty personal or political considerations. trDUMP has to stay in his lane,... not stick his nose in everyone's business and stop crashing through the guardrails intended to keep his sorry ass out of the crevasse of a dysfunctional and broken government.

The Orange Menace wants 100% total power,... sorry you Fucking Fascist Fuhrer,.. that is not how it works,... you idiotic incompetent buffoon.

Speaker Johnson removes Mike Turner as House Intelligence Committee chairman.
Turner, an Ohio Republican and defense hawk, had been appointed to the post by Kevin McCarthy. Mike Johnson is now putting his mark on top committee positions
(After trDUMP gave Turner the thumbs down signal.)
