We have a government that is literally fighting against itself. The federal workforce has always been more liberal than the population as a whole, but in recent years things have gotten really bad. Prior to this year, Democrats had been in control of the White House for 12 of the past 16 years. Over time, leftists that were hired for key positions just kept hiring more leftists underneath them. In fact, it got to a point where DEI policies at various agencies essentially institutionalized the systematic hiring of leftists. By the end of the Biden administration, leftist domination of most of our federal agencies was virtually complete. But now we have a new administration that most of our leftist federal workers absolutely detest. Many of them have absolutely no intention of cooperating with the new administration, and some of them have started to openly rebel against it.
A secretive movement known as “#AltGov” has become the epicenter of that rebellion. Those that are involved primarily communicate through anonymous social media accounts and an encrypted messaging app…
Calling itself #AltGov, the network has developed a visible, public-facing presence in recent weeks through Bluesky accounts, most of which bear the names or initials of federal agencies, aimed at getting information out to the public – and correcting disinformation – about the chaos being unleashed by the Trump administration.
With 40 accounts to date, their collective megaphone is getting louder, as most of the accounts have tens of thousands of followers, with “Alt CDC (they/them)” being the largest, at nearly 95,000 followers.
The network has also formed a group and a series of sub-groups on Wire, the encrypted messaging app, to share information and develop strategies – as played out on Saturday.
Most people don’t realize this, but the “#AltGov” movement was very active during the first Trump administration.
Of course during the Biden administration it went away, because the leftists inside our federal agencies saw no need to rebel against Joe Biden.
But now it is back with a vengeance…
“#AltGov dates from the first Trump administration, but it’s even more needed now,” said an employee at Fema, the disaster response agency, who requested anonymity to avoid being targeted at work. She recently launched an #AltGov Fema account on Bluesky. With nearly 13,000 followers, the account says it’s dedicated to “helping people before, during, and after (this democratic) disaster”.
One member of the group that has dared to go public with her identity has explained what the purpose of “#AltGov” actually is…
The network is aiming to “expose harmful policies, defend public institutions and equip citizens with tools to push back against authoritarianism,” Lynn Stahl, a contractor for the Department of Veterans Affairs and member of the group, told the Guardian.
In other words, they want to use their positions inside the federal government to oppose the Trump administration any way that they can.
If it sounds like this is gross insubordination to you, that is because it is gross insubordination.
And we are already seeing the results.
Attorney General Pam Bondi instructed the FBI to deliver all documents related to Jeffrey Epstein to her office, and they told her that they had done so.
But now it turns out that they had secretly held back thousands of documents, and Pam Bondi is extremely upset…
Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a fiery letter to FBI Director Kash Patel on Thursday accusing federal investigators in New York of withholding thousands of pages of Jeffrey Epstein documents she has vowed to make public.
Bondi said she had requested the full Epstein case file before Patel was confirmed as the head of the FBI and received about 200 pages of files — far less than the number of pages released last year in a civil lawsuit connected to Ghislaine Maxwell, the trafficker’s former lover and convicted accomplice.
“I repeatedly questioned whether this was the full set of documents responsive to my request and was repeatedly assured by the FBI that we had received the full set of documents,” Bondi wrote. “Late yesterday, I learned from a source that the FBI Field Office in New York was in possession of thousands of pages of documents related to the investigation and indictment of Epstein.”
Unfortunately, many of the documents that Bondi wants may no longer exist.
FBI whistleblower Garret O’Boyle has revealed that operatives inside the FBI have been working feverishly to destroy sensitive files…
“There are FBI servers,” said ex-agent-turned-whistleblower Garret O’Boyle, “and people inside the FBI have been working night and day to destroy files on these servers.”
“No idea on what it is — I can only speculate — but you mentioned the Epstein list,” he added. “I’d imagine it’s cases like that.”
Now that Kash Patel has finally been confirmed, he is moving quickly to try to get control of the agency, but it appears that many FBI agents have no intention of obeying his lawful orders…
“Last week, right out of the gate, Kash Patel said 500 people were going to Alabama,” O’Boyle said, explaining that they would still be “headquarters personnel, but in Alabama.”
The other 1,000 agents, he said, were sent out to the field nationwide.
“Already, people are saying, we are not going to comply with that,” O’Boyle told Johnson. “We are going to make it seem as if we transferred—we’re going to do what they call ‘paper transfers’—and we’re not going to obey these lawful orders.”
What a mess.
If this sort of insubordination persists, more agencies may have to be almost entirely dismantled just like USAID was.
Sadly, many workers that were fired at USAID and other federal agencies are now conducting wild protests…
Dozens of the protesters crammed into the lobby of the office of Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, but they were eventually tossed out by security. They also tried to get into the district office of Republican Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, but they were pushed out by staffers.
“It’s been an emotional roller coaster. Like I said, I came to USAID intending on staying there for as long as I could. I really loved the work that we were doing,” said one unnamed former USAID worker to WCSH-TV.
“And now I don’t know what to do,” she added. “And I have cried every day. I think that that’s normal. I have a 15-month-old at home, and I’m looking at him and thinking, ‘What’s this country that we’re now living in?’”
On Thursday, USAID employees that have been let go were given approximately 15 minutes to clear their personal belongings out of their former workspaces…
USAID employees clutching backpacks and wheeling suitcases full of their belongings trickled out of the now-shuttered agency’s headquarters on Thursday morning after the Trump administration gave them 15 minutes to clear out.
Outside the building in downtown Washington, D.C., a line of demonstrators broke into applause and cheers as each employee left the building. Bouquets of flowers for employees stood nearby, alongside a sign reading, “You and your mission mattered!”
Samantha Power, USAID’s administrator, greeted and hugged supporters down the line before she disappeared through the doors of the agency.
Of course this is just the beginning.
The cuts are only going to get deeper in the weeks ahead.

RELATED: #AltGov Rebellion… and Federal Chaos: The Silent Coup Threatening America’s Stability
Inside the Secretive Movement Undermining Trump, Musk, and the Constitution – What You Need to Know Before It’s Too Late…
SUBSTACK | Published March 1, 2025
The United States is facing an unprecedented crisis—one that threatens to unravel the very fabric of our government and economy. A secretive movement known as #AltGov, comprised of federal employees openly rebelling against the Trump administration and Elon Musk’s efforts to streamline government, is gaining momentum.
This insidious network, operating through anonymous social media accounts and encrypted messaging apps, is not just a bureaucratic nuisance; it’s a full-blown insurrection and civil war from within.
The Rise of #AltGov: A Silent Coup in Progress
#AltGov, a shadowy coalition of leftist federal workers, has reemerged with a vengeance.
Originally active during Trump’s first term, the group went dormant under Biden but has now resurfaced to oppose the current administration. Their mission? To “expose harmful policies, defend public institutions, and equip citizens with tools to push back against authoritarianism.”
In reality, this translates to gross insubordination, sabotage, and a deliberate effort to undermine lawful governance.
With tens of thousands of followers on platforms like Bluesky and encrypted channels on Wire, #AltGov is amplifying its message and coordinating strategies to disrupt the administration’s agenda. From withholding critical documents to openly defying lawful orders, these rogue federal employees are creating chaos at the highest levels of government.
The Epstein Files Scandal: A Case Study in Federal Sabotage
The extent of this rebellion is chillingly evident in the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
Attorney General Pam Bondi recently accused the FBI of withholding thousands of pages of Epstein-related documents, despite repeated assurances that all files had been handed over. Whistleblowers have revealed that FBI operatives are working “night and day” to destroy sensitive files, raising alarming questions about what else is being hidden—or erased.
This isn’t just bureaucratic incompetence; it’s a deliberate effort to obstruct justice and shield powerful figures from accountability. If federal agencies can’t be trusted to follow lawful orders, how can we trust them to protect the public interest?
The Economic Fallout: A Government in Disarray
The chaos isn’t confined to political infighting.
The Trump administration’s aggressive efforts to downsize the federal government—shuttering IRS offices, firing under-performing employees, and slashing budgets—are meeting fierce resistance. Federal workers, emboldened by #AltGov, are refusing to comply with lawful directives, creating a paralyzing gridlock.
The potential consequences are dire.
A looming government shutdown, fueled by partisan gridlock over funding, will likely plunge our economy into turmoil.
With over a million federal jobs “on the bubble,” the ripple effects of mass layoffs and agency closures could destabilize the economy.
HOWEVER, the Deep State needs to be fully exposed for what it is… and cut out of government the way we’d cut a diseased liver out of a human body.
And the many folks who have committed treason should be tried and severely punished.
Nothing less will suit.
A Call to Action: What You Can Do
This isn’t just a political crisis; it’s a national emergency.
The #AltGov movement represents a clear and present danger to the rule of law, the Constitution, and the stability of our nation.
If you suspect someone is involved in this insurrection, it’s your duty to speak up.
Just as we would report acts of terrorism, we must expose those working to undermine our government from within.
The stakes couldn’t be higher.
The chaos in Washington is a symptom of a deeper rot—a perfect storm of political polarization, bureaucratic sabotage, and economic instability. If we don’t act now, the consequences will be catastrophic.
Prepare yourself. Stay informed. And above all, demand accountability from those in power. The future of our nation depends on it.
The clock is ticking.
Will we stand by as our government collapses from within… or will we take action to save it?
The choice is ours.
