CATS: I refuse to compromise my free will, Doug. Life is pain, but these eyes have seen much and these claws are strong, and each day I shall take from this world what I am owed in exchange for the gift that is me. So despite your cries, I claim this counter. DOGS: omg treats *Benny Hill music*

Elon Musk’s staffers have gained unauthorized access to sensitive government employee data by installing a server at the OPM. They now have access to USAJOBS, the federal hiring portal where applicants submit personal details such as Social Security numbers, home addresses, and employment histories.
