President Trump is set to sign an order Tuesday instructing the Department of Government Efficiency to potentially toss entire federal agencies — and hire only one federal worker to replace every four who leave.
DOGE will ask agency heads to coordinate with the team being lead by Elon Musk and “shrink the size of the federal workforce and limit hiring to essential positions,” according to a fact sheet on the executive order obtained by The Post.
Entire agencies and part of agencies may be eliminated because their functions aren’t required by law, says the readout, first obtained by Semafor.
Personnel relating to national security, public safety, law enforcement and immigration enforcement are exempt from the order.
Trump implemented a hiring freeze as soon as he took office Jan. 20 on all civilian federal jobs and instructed DOGE and the director of the Office of Management and Budget to come up with a plan in 90 days to reduce the size of the government.
Upon the expiration of that job freeze, the fact sheet states, “Agencies will be able to hire no more than one employee for every four employees that depart from federal service (with appropriate immigration, law enforcement, and public safety exceptions).”

Legit. If they aren’t essential they shouldn’t be there.
lol
I remember where an investigation found that a number of male workers were spending SEVEN HOURS a day looking at porn...federal workers.
So is 1 needed instead of 4?
I work at an investment bank and so if they want to pay to have a bunch of extra workers aroudn in case things get busy at times...and they do..that’s their business.
But if my department could probably work just fine with 1/3 of the workers, then the FED depts probably could do just fine with 1/10 or LESS.
I loved watching Elon being very serious explaining what he has been dinding with little X climbing all over him and Elon didn’t miss a beat.
Except for immigration and public safety, many of the jobs are not "essential" and they can "work from home". So Musk needs to keep 20% of the employees and get rid of the rest.

I can’t until they get to Defense. Yes, it’s a vital department. Yes, there are a lot of good people there. But, my word, there is no much waste and mismanagement. Musk will have a field day.
I wish Rush had lived long enough to see this.
No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.
That's all he needs to say to these judges that are trying to block him from looking at the payments.

The Democrats have not been in such a pathetic position since they were defending slavery.
He’s a cutie!
Ditto.
If Congress does not like this they are free to draft a law which recreates agencies disbanded by this order. That will give them the chance to justify the agencies’ existence and essential functions to the people and the president. It also means the authority given to any such agency must be very clear with no chance of Congress’ intent being mistaken. Oh and of course they have to show how this will be paid for.
I think a lot of congress types are nervous about who knows what about who.
DC must be crawling with rumor, gossip and all sorts of intrigue.
