Investigating USDA “Happy Easter!” / “He has risen!” Email

Bryan Schwartz Law, P.C. is investigating an email sent by Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins to all USDA employees on April 5, 2026, with the subject line “Happy Easter!”, embracing particular religious practices. We believe this communication done under the auspices of the United States government may have violated the First Amendment’s Establishment Clause and the foundational American constitutional principle of separation of church and state.  If you are a USDA employee and have additional information you would like to share regarding how you were affected by this email, or if you are an employee of another federal agency who received a similar email, we would be interested in hearing from you for investigatory purposes.  If you are interested in communicating with us, please email [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). Communicating with us does not mean we will represent you in legal action, but our intention is that your communication with us will be a confidential communication. This outreach is for investigative and fact-finding purposes.

MHBP HSA/Inspira contribution question

Anyone have any insight on how long funds that you start withholding from MyPay into the routing/accounting number given from Inspira take to actually show up in your HSA account? I'm getting nervous as I plan to max out my HSA for the year but no funds have actually shown up in my Inspira account yet. Ive called Inspira, MHBP and unfortunately no one has been able to help

QuickTime - Please do better DOI!

This system is awful. I really do not understand how DOI can in good faith force agencies in to it. The UX is so bad and such a backwards leap from WebTA. Do better DOI! This is by far the worst timekeeping system we have had since we stopped using paper. I can't believe the people in charge of this product at DOI are proud of this and think they are producing a solid product and user experience. This is what gives government IT a bad name.

OPM's proposed performance rules suggest not all Artemis 2 astronauts can be Outstanding

By now some of you have probably seen OPM's proposed rule on non-SES performance appraisals (91 FR 8780, published February 24th). Comment period just closed March 26th, so it's sitting in OPM's inbox right now being "considered." The rule would give OPM authority to cap how many federal employees can receive top performance ratings government-wide. Jack Welch's vitality curve, essentially, but for your agency's HR system.As I write this, four astronauts are floating in space farther from humanity than anyone before them. Two of them — Reid Wiseman and Christina Koch — are NASA civil servants covered by the very performance appraisal system OPM wants to overhaul. They strapped themselves to a rocket, left the planet, swung around a celestial body 240,000 miles away, and are hopefully on their way back alive. By any reasonable measure, both should earn 5's this performance period. Hell, maybe even a step increase.But under the proposed framework? Sorry, Reid. Sorry, Christina. Numbers are numbers. We can't have everyone at Level 5. One of you may have only been Fully Successful at going to the moon. Your trajectory work was solid, but frankly the other one's suit checks were more consistently documented.I picture some GS-12 HR specialist at NASA HQ staring at a spreadsheet right now. "Yeah, but did they both perform at the same level or did someone clearly stand out?"They. Went. To. The. Moon.The rule is careful to note the actual distribution percentages will be set later by OPM guidance — could be 20%, could be 10%. The proposed regulation literally just says OPM can "establish and refine as needed." Refine as needed. For the people who went to the moon.Obviously this is a far-fetched, tongue-in-cheek example. But the broader point stands: sometimes everyone in an office genuinely is outstanding. Sometimes they are not. Usually there is a natural distribution. But forcing that distribution doesn't make the ratings more accurate — it just makes them more artificial. If an organization legitimately has 80% of its people performing at Level 4 or 5, that's worth examining through better objective measures. Forcing those people into lower categories isn't rigor. It's just math cosplaying as accountability.
