🌸Primary season is blooming — and so are Hatch Act reminders! 🐣🐣Know the don'ts. #HatchFactFriday ➡️osc.gov/services/hatch…

As I write for @GovExec, @USOPM’s proposed rule modifying the federal reduction-in-force procedures “is a long-overdue corrective. It prioritizes performance over mere longevity in determining which employees agencies retain during downsizing.”

.@US_OSC said Thursday that a whistleblower complaint within the Health and Human Services Department has led one agency to slash staffing due to findings of government waste. Staff Writer @seanthenewsboy has more. buff.ly/AGedjX1

“[T]he federal government started spending extra money to deal with a problem, the problem went away, but the money kept flowing because there was no incentive to care about accountability to the taxpayer.”  washingtonreporter.news/exclusive-hhs-…

Thanks to a whistleblower disclosure to @US_OSC, we were able to expose tens of millions of dollars in unnecessary spending. @SecKennedy and @HHSGov deserve credit for taking action to save taxpayer money from being wasted.

The Office of Special Counsel filed “a complaint against a local Virginia sheriff for allegedly using his public office to fuel his 2025 reelection bid, marking the first time the ethics watchdog has brought this kind of disciplinary action in at least a decade.” -Washington Post
