> "We have no visibility into what they are doing with the computer and data systems," one of the officials said. "That is creating great concern. There is no oversight. It creates real cybersecurity and hacking implications."

This seems beyond bad.

I'm sure this will be flagged soon enough, but people need to know that there is an unprecedented, hostile, and (seemingly) illegal blitzkrieg happening against the federal civil service. Doors are being barricaded. Strange servers are being installed by unknown individuals. People with decades of institutional experience are getting pushed out the door.

Regardless of your thoughts about the size of the federal government, there is zero oversight to this "transition." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-federal-inspectors-genera...

I think most "small government" people change their tune when they find out that "big government" was behind their Medicare/Social Security payouts, their industry subsidies, and all of the things that keep them from dying on the job.

There's a reason why there's a whole genre of images on the internet of protestors holding signs with some variation of "keep your government hands out of my Medicare"
