Trump Broke the Federal Email System and Government Employees Got Blasted With Astonishingly Vulgar Messages
futurism.com
A breach in an email server setup by Musk's lackeys just allowed over 13,000 government email addresses to be overrun with spam.

Summary

A vulnerability in the new OPM email server allowed anyone to send mass messages to federal employees, exposing poor cybersecurity.

Over 13,000 NOAA staff received spam and vulgar messages, including crude jokes about Trump and bizarre newsletters, causing widespread outrage.

The breach resulted from an overhaul led by Elon Musk that installed underqualified personnel and an insecure in-house system, sparking a class-action lawsuit for cybersecurity failures.

The unsecured system also inadvertently revealed ties to Project 2025 and a plan to gather government employee data as Trump’s loyalists reshape federal operations.

    How are Republican voters reconciling any of this? Or has Faux News spun this as something Obama’s responsible for?

      I’ve been off Reddit for a while but I’d be lying if I didn’t just go look at /r/conservative to see.
      “I pray Trump knows what he is doing, because if this doesn’t work and just results in higher prices and nothing the average person can identify as a positive, then people will sour on Trump.”
      “Im really worried this is going to bite us hard causing prices to skyrocket.”
      “I’m in the construction industry and would be lying if I said I wasn’t a little nervous for this rollercoaster.” In general, some longer comments are basically saying tariffs will work to bring home manufacturing. The problem with this is we would need manufacturing of most of these things IN PLACE NOW to be ready to do that. We’re not since it’s a surprise to both U.S. citizens and Canada.
      Many other posts are being deleted – most I’ve ever seen, but again it’s been a while since I’ve looked at Reddit.

      Seriously, everyone needs to go check out FoxNews.com because it is insane that anyone could rely on them for their news. I checked out this morning and had to scroll WAY DOWN to find any mention of tariffs, and even then, it was praising trump for keeping a campaign promise.
