From the Daily Caller: A paralegal at the Department of Justice (DOJ) claimed in a video posted to TikTok Thursday that President Donald Trump’s executive order requiring federal employees to return to federal government offices meant they “cannot get any work done.”
Trump issued an executive order Monday requiring agencies to terminate remote work arrangements and for employees to work in-person on a “full-time basis.” The paralegal, Kaitlin Kons, said she and her co-workers were dealing with an “information intake” and were “yapping” in the office instead of doing their jobs.
As a government employee, what’s so ironic about all this shit going on with Trump making us go in-person five days a week to promote efficiency, and also establishing the Department of Government Efficiency, the DOGE, what’s really funny is, because of all of this news and all of the change in policy, we are yapping more at work, we are trying to digest everything that’s going on,” Kons said. “We cannot get any work done because of how much information intake that, like, existing in this administration requires.”
“And we’re not yapping just to yap. We’re yapping because every single day a memo comes down from God knows where telling us that there’s a new rule that we need to enforce for a job that does not relate to what we’re doing,” Kons continued. “Like, oh, you work for the FDA? Guess what? Now you’re going to have to enforce immigration. Any fucking federal employee, guess what, go snitch on your fucking colleagues if they do anything related to DEI now. Like, this week has been such a whirlwind. I cannot get work done.”
The Daily Caller noted that Kons’ LinkedIn page shows she has worked at the Department of Justice for over three years, indicating she got the job during the Biden administration. However, she has now deleted her LinkedIn page. Her employment status is now unclear.
Libs of TikTok grabbed the video of Kons’ meltdown, as she complained about having to go into the office to work, and reposted it on X on Friday morning. It has received over 4.3 million views and 18,000 comments in just over 24 hours.

Kon appears to have since removed the video from her TikTok account. She lamented in a comment on a related video, “I ended up a right-wing joke when libs of tiktok posted a video of mine that went viral on X. I’m not tryna be unsafe with these people lol.”
Her TikTok account includes several videos as she poses with different outfits:

In addition to her Justice Department job, Kons has a side business where she provides “more inclusive styling options for queer women and non-binary people,” according to her Instagram account.
In an Instagram post just four days after Trump won the presidential election, Kons announced she would be providing her services for FREE to all LGBTQ couples who are rushing to get married before the new administration takes over. She claimed that the legal right to marry is about to be revoked. The post included photos of her and another woman she is engaged to. The wedding is scheduled for May 23, 2025, according to a page on The Knot.
A week ahead of Trump’s inauguration, Kons – a federal employee – called for advertisers to withdraw their funds from all Meta platforms, and “morally put your money elsewhere.” She claimed that there would be a mass exodus of people moving away from these platforms “between now and the 19th,” which was the day before Trump’s inauguration.
Kon declared she’s moving to RedNote – a Chinese-owned social media platform.
In a separate post, she wrote, “Elon Musk, if you’re seeing this, know that if you buy TikTok, we’re all deleting the app and staying with RedNote.”

I hope her side gig pays well, because I think she just threw her DOJ job down the crapper. Stupid is as stupid does.

🤦♀️This poor DOJ employee is struggling to process actually having to work harder because of @POTUS @realDonaldTrump Trump’s executive orders. Say a prayer for her. The struggle is real. 😂 @DailyCaller @HaroldHutchison https://t.co/4NVkUoRRh2 via @dailycaller
