Trump's Downsizing: 300,000 Federal Employees Affected

Описание: Trump's administration has begun downsizing, with an impact on several government agencies. The Department of the Treasury, Department of Health and Human Services, IRS, Department of Education, Department of Commerce, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) of the Department of Homeland Security are all affected. While the exact number of impacted employees remains unclear, previous reports suggested that around 300,000 federal workers would be affected by the downsizing policy this year. Trump blames the Democrats for initiating this move, stating it's a result of their party's agenda. Despite Republican control in both the House and Senate, Trump's party still relies on Democratic votes in the Senate to pass the budget bill. Democrats stand firm, refusing to back down unless there's an expansion of healthcare support, which could benefit over 24 million Americans under the Affordable Care Act. Trump had previously threatened to fire employees during the government shutdown, now entering its 10th day, with the main target being agencies supported by the Democratic Party. Trump has also ordered a freeze on at least $28 billion in infrastructure funding for states like New York, California, and Illinois, which have a large Democratic supporter base. The Justice Department has revealed that over 4,200 employees across 7 agencies have received termination notices, including over 1,400 from the Treasury Department and at least 1,100 from the Department of Health and Human Services and related services.
