We just published a post Tuesday about a story by Politico about how federal employees are sweating a Trump comeback.
"EPA employees are shuffling to 'safer' agencies. An Interior Department worker is putting off buying a new car and poring over Project 2025. And civil servants across the government are worried they might soon get fired," Politico reported. "Federal employees throughout the executive branch are panicking at the thought of another Trump administration."
They should be. We're looking forward to the creation of DOGE — the Department of Government Efficiency — run by Elon Musk, who cut the fat at Twitter (which is still up and running).
At a fundraiser Wednesday, folksy Tim Walz warned federal employees that Donald Trump's plans for them were "terrifying."

Did anyone bother to ask "How so?" And then hold him to answer the question?

Most of them are about to lose their jobs.
Nice!

Most are over paid and working from home. All Trump has to do is order them back to the empty Federal Office buildings and they will all quit. Big win for all of us overburdened tax payers. MAGA 2024!!!!!!!!!!!!

As a retired federal employee who has watched the federal government swell like a bloated tick, I hope Trump takes a scythe (figuratively not literally) and goes into hacking mode.

You mean being unemployed? It is a little scary but I wouldn’t call it terrifying. Also Trump will actually improve the economy so there will be jobs open they can fill. Most of them deserve to be unemployed from their Government jobs and bring no value.

Heck yes, now we just need to attach "I'm Donald Trump and I approve this message.". I can only vote for the man once but boy if the Harris/Walz campaign keeps making him sound this good then I'd fully support we change that to 2 votes each.

Excellent, thanks for supporting Trump, Tim.
