— House speaker on Crespo ouster: ‘Can’t allow someone to go rogue’  “He’s free to speak his mind. He’s free to vote his conscience,” House Speaker Emanuel ‘Chris’ Welch, said, but added that no one would be allowed to use their official leadership roles “to pursue an agenda that is antithetical to our shared goals” of passing a budget. Since I was 53 years old in 2001, leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party have rudely dumped me forever because I supported Pat O’Malley in the primary for governor instead of their candidate Jim Ryan. I ran O’Malley’s campaign in Milton Township. They continue to blame me not only for Ryan’s loss in the 2002 general election, but for all the losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since then. I should write about that.

NPR ILLINOIS
— DOGE tried assigning a team to GAO. GAO refused. I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. They wasted my career and they forced me to retire when I was 49 years old. They rudely flushed down their toilet a) my three job-related master’s degrees (business-1976, accounting-1980, and finance-1997), b) my six job-related professional certifications (accounting-1979, internal auditing-1981, fraud examination-1990, government financial management-1994, financial services auditing-1996, and forensic accounting-1997), c) my job-related professional license (CPA-1981), and d) what I had learned about IRS by working for it for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year). They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.
https://www.nprillinois.org/2025-05-16/doge-tried-assigning-a-team-to-the-government-accountability-office-it-refused
https://www.npr.org/2025/05/16/nx-s1-5401008/doge-gao-congress
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Department of Government Efficiency is continuing its attempts to expand its reach beyond executive branch agencies, this time seeking to embed in an independent legislative watchdog that finds waste, fraud and abuse in the government. But the U.S. Government Accountability Office, a legislative branch entity that helps audit government spending and suggest ways to make it more efficient, rejected that request on Friday by noting that GAO is not subject to presidential executive orders. The request to GAO had cited President Trump’s Jan. 20 executive order creating DOGE, which, despite its name, is not a formal agency. DOGE’s request to GAO and its response was first reported by NOTUS. A spokesperson for GAO confirmed DOGE’s outreach, and reiterated that “as a legislative branch agency, GAO is not subject to Executive Orders and has therefore declined any requests to have a DOGE team assigned to GAO.” In an announcement to employees posted Friday afternoon, GAO leadership said they sent a letter to Acting Administrator of DOGE Amy Gleason and notified members of Congress, according to a copy of the notice shared with NPR by an employee not authorized to speak publicly. The GAO regularly releases reports that highlight ways to improve government efficiency, like a May 13 review of federal programs with fragmented, overlapping, or duplicative actions it says could save over $100 billion in spending. But there’s been little overlap between GAO’s work and DOGE’s actions so far. “DOGE’s attempted intrusion into an independent, nonpartisan legislative branch agency is a direct assault on our nation’s sacred separation of powers,” said Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, which oversees GAO, in a statement to NPR. “DOGE cannot and must not have any access to GAO. Oversight Democrats are monitoring this situation closely and stand behind GAO’s well-established status as a critical legislative branch agency.” The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment about DOGE’s attempts to place a team at GAO. . .DOGE’s efforts to embed at GAO also heighten growing tensions between Congress and the executive branch. Last week, President Trump abruptly fired the Librarian of Congress, a year before the end of her term — raising concerns from members of Congress including Senate Majority leader John Thune. Meanwhile, the watchdog agency has dozens of investigations underway into whether the White House violated the law by freezing funding that had already been allocated by Congress. “ We have right now 39 different investigations underway,” Gene Dodaro, the current head of the GAO, told a Senate hearing on Apr. 29. “We’re trying to get the information from the agencies about what their legal position is for not expending the money,” Dodaro told lawmakers.)

— Federal employees do not have to take a vow of poverty. But few federal employees make GS-13 ($117,807/year). Fewer make GS-14 ($139,211/year). Even fewer make GS-15 ($163,749/year). Extremely few make Senior Executive Service (SES) ($195,200/year). Becoming a federal employee severely limits your earning potential. Unless you are a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran, the Democrats who run the federal government waste your career and get rid of you if they do not promote you to GS-13 by age 25, GS-14 by age 30, GS-15 by age 35, and SES by age 40. My critics/opponents have always used against me my not making the aforesaid promotion deadlines. They especially use against me my not making the aforesaid promotion deadlines even though I had three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license. In my defense, I did not earn a) my master’s degrees until I was 27, 31, and 48, b) my professional certifications until I was 30, 32, 41, 45 , 47 and 48, and c) my professional license until I was 32. Further, I was not a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. – Dave Diersen

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— The Pope Took a Vow of Poverty. He May Still Need to File U.S. Taxes.  The first American pontiff has special circumstances but may want to file a return even if he doesn’t owe anything. Federal employees do not have to take a vow of poverty. But few federal employees make GS-13 ($117,807/year). Fewer make GS-14 ($139,211/year). Even fewer make GS-15 ($163,749/year). Extremely few make Senior Executive Service (SES) ($195,200/year). Becoming a federal employee severely limits your earning potential. Unless you are a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran, the Democrats who run the federal government waste your career and get rid of you if they do not promote you to GS-13 by age 25, GS-14 by age 30, GS-15 by age 35, and SES by age 40. My critics/opponents have always used against me my not making the aforesaid promotion deadlines. They especially use against me my not making the aforesaid promotion deadlines even though I had three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license. In my defense, I did not earn a) my master’s degrees until I was 27, 31, and 48, b) my professional certifications until I was 30, 32, 41, 45 , 47 and 48, and c) my professional license until I was 32. Further, I was not a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.

— It Was a Mistake to Skip My Senior Prom. Did you attend you senior prom? I did not. I was not viewed as being college material. Neither of my parents had attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My ACT score was only 24. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class. I had spent my junior and senior years and the summer in between washing dishes for the minimum wage. I could not run because I had a bone disease. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. I was viewed as being draft bait. I had been accepted by UIC, but UIC is not Ivy League.

— Chicago Taps Ernst & Young to Close $1 Billion Gap as Trump Threatens Funds. Ernst & Young was one of the many CPA firms that had no interest in me because I was too old, that is, a) because I did not pass the CPA examination until I was 30, b) because I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31, c) because I did not pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination until I was 32, and d) because I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32. Further, I was not a minority, female, or veteran.
