Federal agencies are rehiring and ordering back from leave some of the employees who were laid off in the weeks after Donald Trump took office as they scramble to fill critical gaps in services left by the DOGE-led effort to shrink the federal workforce.
The Trump administration’s quiet backtracking from the firings and voluntary retirements — which are also paired with new hires to fill vacancies those departures created — come as federal agencies are still implementing their “reduction-in-force” plans as part of a push for spending cuts.
Experts warned that even though the Trump administration has backtracked on some of its efforts to shrink the federal workforce, the rapid rehirings are a warning sign that it has lost more capacities and expertise that could prove critical — and difficult to replace — in the months and years ahead.
Everyone in the trump administration should be removed from power and barred from ever holding office or working in government. They’re the worst people.
Hell, while I’m waving my magic wand, everyone who ever has voted or would voted for a republican of their own free will is now barred from voting, holding office, or discussing politics. In six months we’d solve the climate crisis.
There’s no magic wand required, the Biden administration just had to do their job, and enforce the 14th Amendment/ Section 3. But they didn’t, and here we are.
