    Donald Trump's federal workforce hatchet man has announced
    that a bloodbath is now underway after days of threats amid
    the government shutdown.

    Russell Vought, the director of the Office of Management and
    Budget, posted on X, the 'RIFs have begun,' referring to the
    DOGE-style reduction-in-force plans to slash the bloated
    bureaucracy in Washington DC.

    The layoffs 'are substantial,' an OMB source claimed without
    confirming the number of firings or the departments on which
    they were focused.

    But an administration official told Politico it would hit
    agencies including: Interior, Homeland Security, Treasury,
    EPA, Commerce, Education, Energy, HHS and HUD.

    . . .

    If you thought Musk was bad .....

    Hey, no budget equals no money equals no jobs.

    A little severe on lefty favorite orgs ? Awww ...

    Oh, great image of Trump in Grim Reaper rock band
    garb :-)

    Anyway, was thinking of finally applying for SS ... but
    maybe I'll wait a month or two.

    Trump's people can probably find some alt sourcing for
    at least military/ICE pay - and that'd be a smart idea.
