Congress is a busy place. But as Elon Musk made very clear to federal workers on Saturday, those paid by the taxpayers need to be ready to justify their salaries at a moment’s notice.
The Office of Personnel Management sent an email to federal employees demanding they respond with five things they did the previous week, and Musk said failure to respond would count as a resignation. The administration clarified Monday that responding wouldn’t be required (although Musk suggested it might be required later).
As the famously dysfunctional Congress tries to get anything done, NOTUS decided to ask lawmakers what five things they did last week. Some were more than happy to supply an answer.
