Billionaire Elon Muskβs team has initiated sweeping layoffs of federal employees, as the Trump administration races to shrink the governmentβs civilian workforce.
An official with the Office of Personnel Management, which is now run by Musk allies, emailed staff Wednesday morning stating that widespread layoffs β known as βreductions in forceβ β have begun and are already overwhelming the small agency that functions as a human resources department for the government, according to a copy of the message obtained by The Washington Post. OPM has also begun to assert more control over all federal hiring, according to four employees of the agency and additional internal communications also obtained by The Post.
Meanwhile, White House officials are eyeing cuts to agency budgets of between 30 and 40 percent, on average, across the government β centered on significant staff reductions, according to two other people briefed on internal conversations, who also spoke on the condition of anonymity to recount private deliberations. That target would vary greatly, and itβs expected to exempt agencies favored by President Donald Trump, such as the Defense Department and the Homeland Security Department. A White House spokeswoman declined to comment on that figure. The people cautioned those plans are not yet finalized and could change.
Late Wednesday, a federal judge also lifted a pause on a deferred resignation program that would pay workers through September if they quit now, and the administration said it would not accept new applications.

Trump is going to name names for corruption recipients TOMORROW. Out of 200 expenditures, he only found 3 that were legitimate.
"I'm going to read to you some of the names that hundreds of millions and even billions of dollars have been given to."

We are watching history unfold right before our eyes.
National Security Advisor Mike Waltz on what happened today in the Oval Office:
βToday in the Oval Office, it was literally being a part of history, as President Trump spoke with Vladimir Putin, and then spoke with Zelensky, and both of them said they are ready to end this war - and they could only do it with President Trumpβs leadership. Just think about that for a second.β
This administration is incredible.

NEW: JD Vance speaks at an artificial intelligence summit in Paris, France, tells European and Asian leaders that the United States will dominate A.I.
Imagine VP Kamala Harris giving this speech.
"The Trump administration will ensure that the most powerful A.I. systems are built in the U.S. with American design and manufactured chips... just because we are the leader doesnβt mean we want to or need to go it alone."
