DOGE v. Federal Employees
🔴 UPDATE: February 13, 2025
The Trump administration, through Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has escalated its assault on the federal workforce, launching a mass purge of government employees across multiple agencies. Thousands of federal workers have been terminated, marking one of the most aggressive downsizing efforts in U.S. history.
The cuts disproportionately target probationary employees—those still within their one- to two-year probationary period—allowing for mass dismissals without cause. These layoffs come just weeks after the administration’s controversial “Fork in the Road” buyout program, which aimed to entice 75,000 federal employees into voluntary resignation.
Agencies Hit by Mass Layoffs
Department of Education: Sweeping terminations of staff from civil rights, federal student aid, and legal departments.
Small Business Administration (SBA): 720 employees dismissed, slashing nearly 20% of its workforce.
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB): Staff reductions crippling enforcement efforts.
General Services Administration (GSA): Gutted of key personnel managing federal properties and operations.
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA): Over 1,000 employees terminated, jeopardizing services for veterans.
Department of Energy: Plans to eliminate nearly 2,000 jobs.
Office of Personnel Management (OPM): Firing of human resources and policy staff, further crippling federal hiring processes.
🚨 Why This Matters
These cuts are not just about reducing government spending—they are a deliberate attack on the federal workforce, designed to hollow out government agencies, weaken enforcement, and replace career professionals with unqualified loyalists.
While the administration sells this as "efficiency," the reality is a manufactured crisis: a government so dysfunctional that Americans begin to question its very existence—laying the groundwork for further dismantling.
This is not about fixing government—it’s about breaking it.

Join the Fight, Amplify the Truth
Because silence is surrender. We never surrender. We are #TheRelentless.
I feel like the definition of small government has really changed over the last few weeks for politicians, but not most Americans, although they would prefer we believe it has.
