OPM says it can now process pensions digitally, as DOGE targets bizarre federal document mine.

For decades, OPM has stored and processed federal retirement paperwork in a limestone mine. The US government started storing records in the underground facility in the 1960s.

In a video update shared on Thursday by the OPM, Chuck Ezell, OPM's interim director, said that the Trump administration had approached OPM "about a week ago" with the one-week "challenge" to process a federal retiree's application "end-to-end digitally without printing anything on paper."

Kimya Lee, OPM's associate deputy director for enterprise enablement, said in the video that they "got it done in record time within two days without printing one piece of paper."

DOGE's de facto leader Elon Musk highlighted the issue in a press conference earlier this month. Musk criticized the reliance on paper records and said the speed of the mine's elevator shaft determined how fast people could retire.

Pope has ‘isolated’ breathing crisis in hospital, Vatican says.

TICK TOCK…

Pope Francis suffered a bronchial spasm on Friday that required mechanical ventilation, the Vatican said in relaying a setback in his two-week long battle against double pneumonia. The 88-year-old pontiff responded well, with a good level of gas exchange, and remained conscious and alert at all times, the Vatican said in its late update.

Democrat Turns On Her Own Party Over ‘Woke Insanity’.

Former Democratic National Committee fundraiser Lindy Li recently criticized the state of the Democratic Party. She noted that Democratic donors are frustrated and feel the party is “completely rudderless.” Li attributed the turmoil to an overemphasis on “woke” ideology.

Li stated, “Democratic donors absolutely, without a single exception, they are so angry and upset with the state of the party. They think the party is in complete shambles.”

Li, who has raised substantial funds for Democratic campaigns, claimed that there is “no one on the horizon” to lead the party into future elections. Li said, “I don’t know how they’re going to get out of this wilderness,” stating that the party has been “hijacked” by “woke” ideology.

AOC demands Attorney General Pam Bondi reveal if she is under DOJ investigation.

I wonder if she knows all of Congress are under investigation.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Friday wrote to Attorney General Pam Bondi asking if she is under investigation for advising constituents on how to communicate with immigration officers.

Ocasio-Cortez is not the first congressional Democrat to accuse the Trump administration of unfairly targeting them with the threat of federal prosecution.
