Summary

A leaked White House document reveals plans to cut 8-50% of staff at 22 federal agencies as part of Trump and Elon Musk’s effort to gut the federal bureaucracy.

Major cuts include 50% at HUD, 30% at Commerce and Treasury, and 43% at the SBA.

Critics warn of disrupted services, including Social Security delays and healthcare impacts after 20,000 HHS layoffs.

The administration claims the document is a draft, with final plans pending. Public backlash highlights concerns about reduced public health, safety, and government efficiency.

    Still don’t think he’ll beat the numbers Clinton got in the 90s…

    But it’s starting to look like 30+ years of both our only two political options taking a chainsaw to the federal workforce hasn’t exactly been working out …

    Neoliberals, including Biden, thought they could give conservatives some of what they want and they’d be happy. Even tho ever single time a Republican gets what they want, they immediately ask for more.

    Normalizing their bullshit just allows them to push for crazier bullshit, but they’re so incompetent they’re still not better at destroying what they want as neoliberals
