A stand-off between the White House and key federal agencies is unfolding after a directive from cost-cutting chief Elon Musk, demanding federal employees document their achievements from the previous week or face losing their jobs.
Musk's team sent an email to federal employees on Saturday giving them roughly 48 hours to report five specific things they had accomplished last week.
"If I could say one thing to Elon Musk, it's like, please put a dose of compassion in this," Curtis, whose state has 33,000 federal employees, said on CBS' Face the Nation.
Newly confirmed FBI Director Kash Patel, an outspoken Trump ally, instructed bureau employees to ignore Musk's request, at least for now.
Having put in over 70 hours of work last week advancing Administration's priorities, I was personally insulted to receive the below email," Keveney said in an email viewed by The Associated Press.
