Summary

Metadata from recent OPM memos on hiring freezes, firing, and in-person work reveals authors tied to the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, a plan to overhaul federal government staffing with conservative loyalists.

Notable contributors include Noah Peters, linked to controversial legal cases, and James Sherk, who designed the “Schedule F” worker reclassification to ease federal employee firings.

Critics say the memos reflect Trump-aligned efforts to reshape the government.

Project 2025 authors have been integrated into Trump’s administrations, despite his denial of involvement.

          Photoshop (which is what you shared) is the result of human effort and creativity. AI is crap and some people don’t want to see it.

            I generated that image with Ideogram. But if I were to make it in Photoshop these days, I’d select the wing and type “arm giving a thumbs up” into the generative fill box.

        Image search result from ages ago, not generated by me. I cannot prove that it is or isn’t AI generated. I did add the caption.

        EDIT: I ran it through an AI image detection system. Below are the results.

          Thanks. AI detection via program is no good. The buttons make no sense, the eyes have no pupils, the lines on the mouth don’t make sense. Those aren’t mistakes a human artist would make (even a bad one). This is definitely AI
