Trump administration starts laying off thousands of workers

The Trump administration has begun the process of laying off thousands of workers across seven federal agencies. According to a court filing, over 4,000 employees will receive notices that their positions are being eliminated. The move comes as the administration seeks to reduce the size of the federal government. The agencies affected include the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of the Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Small Business Administration. The layoffs are part of the administration's broader efforts to reshape the federal bureaucracy and implement its policy agenda. While the decision is expected to face opposition, the administration maintains that it is necessary to streamline government operations and improve efficiency. The full impact of these layoffs on the affected agencies and their ability to carry out their mandates remains to be seen.
