This Warning About Firing Federal Workers Isn't the Indictment of Trump and DOGE CNN Thinks It Is

With President Trump and DOGE overseeing layoffs at the federal level, there's a dismissive spin we're not hearing this time around. During the Biden years when the administration's policies caused private sector layoffs, the "solution" for those who were put out of work was simple: Go get a green job:

"Learn to code" was another suggestion.

But that was only advice for the private sector. Now we're to believe that federal government jobs are untouchable, holy birthrights.

CNN's now reporting that trimming the size of the federal work force could also be a grave threat to national security. The spin never ends.

Here's the latest attempted narrative:

Across the river in Washington, a senior career Treasury Department official delivered a memo warning Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent that granting a 25-year-old computer engineer with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency access to the government’s ultra-sensitive payments system risked exposing highly classified CIA payments that flow through it.
And on the CIA’s 7th floor — home to top leadership — some officers are also quietly discussing how mass firings and the buyouts already offered to staff risk creating a group of disgruntled former employees who might be motivated to take what they know to a foreign intelligence service.

If that was being discussed at the CIA, it certainly wasn't being done "quietly":

Sooooo quiet that CNN heard it and broadcast it!

Bingo. The other gaslighting by CNN is their argument that Trump would endanger our country by firing any fine, upstanding, patriotic career men and women at the CIA (because they would immediately spill state secrets to our enemies).

"We think there might be a lot of people working in the federal government who are capable of espionage if they're not happy about something" isn't really the indictment of Trump they think it is. That would point to a much larger problem.

“You can’t fire those employees that threaten to take info to foreign governments”

These people are insane. https://t.co/auLaTdETcc

Do these people ever actually listen to themselves?

“senior career” vs 25 year old engineer.

Age and competency fallacy.

Why are CIA payments going through treasury, WHO has access today?@cnn we have questions you’re afraid to ask.

I doubt CNN will be that inquisitive.

The Dems and deep staters know they've got a big problem this time:

Can confirm from sources within that the feeling among bureaucrats inside the intelligence community has gone form “we’ve been here before, we can handle Trump” to

“oh shit, they’re serious this time”

Real fast

Meanwhile, the Dems and media keep saying the quiet parts out loud.
