The Trump administration continued its bloodbath gutting of the U.S. Agency for International Development, cutting 2,000 workers and placing all but a fraction of other staffers on leave.
It comes after a federal judge on Friday allowed the administration to move forward with pulling thousands of domestic USAID staffers off the job and around the world.
U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols rejected pleas that came in a lawsuit from employees to keep temporarily blocking the government´s plan.
'As of 11:59 p.m. EST on Sunday, February 23, 2025, all USAID direct hire personnel, with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership and/or specially designated programs, will be placed on administrative leave globally,' according to the notices sent to USAID workers and viewed by The Associated Press.
At the same time, the agency said it is cutting the U.S.-based workforce by about 2,000 employees.
The move escalates a monthlong assault on the agency by Trump and 'First Buddy' Elon Musk that has closed its headquarters in Washington and shut down thousands of U.S. aid and development programs worldwide following an effort to freeze foreign assistance.
Trump and chief cost-cutter Musk contend the aid and development work is wasteful and furthers a liberal agenda.
Citing a big concern for workers stationed overseas who have reported being cut off from government communications, the notic

One hopes that indictments for fraud and corruption will follow.
What percentage of the total workforce was that of all the useless turds working for that pretend agency, oh sage mere media journalists?
And how many hundreds of thousands actual productive people lost their jobs during the total lies presented by our sage mere media journalists during the COVID disaster?
Just wonderin’.
It does not further a “liberal” agenda.
It furthers a far left pervert eco-kook agenda.
Fire them all, then redirect any webpages links and inquirys to the US Department of State.
Bloodbath?? Trump could fire half a million government workers and we’d be at the level of government employment that we were at in 2008. The past 15 years have seen an unprecedented expansion of government workers. Trump needs to fire a million to make a good dent.
It takes 2000 Feddies to hand out little bags of rice? What are they doing in all that spare time? It should only take 2 to count $50 million worth of Shiek condoms so the Hammies don’t get shorted with condoms for their bombs.
They'll have plenty of time to "learn to code".
As usual, most of the money went to a select few at USAID and it came in the form of kickbacks from NGOs and subcontractors mostly.
The working stiffs never saw any of that money, as a rule.
Hey, you are not supposed to use the B-word (bloodbath)
The media keeps publishing these articles thinking that the tax-payers are as outraged as they are over the reduction in the number of government employees.
Or maybe they are trying to convince taxpayers that other taxpayers are outraged.
Whatever their reasoning, they are trying to form opinions rather than inform of opinions.
We need to reduce the power that the government has over our daily lives. To do that we need to reduce the number of agencies and employees that do little but think of new ways to inhibit our freedoms and to tax our hard-earned dollars.
and they are quoting polls that predicted Kamala Harris winning, to pretend that Trumps support is collapsing.
“Trump administration eliminating 2,000 posts at USAID and putting most others on leave’”
“The Trump administration announced on Sunday it has decided to eliminate 2,000 posts at the U.S. Agency for International Development and put most others on leave, according to a report from Associated Press.
U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols had denied a legal effort from employees to continue the temporary stay on the administration’s plan to phase out the agency.
“As of 11:59 p.m. EST on Sunday, February 23, 2025, all USAID direct hire personnel, with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership and/or specially designated programs, will be placed on administrative leave globally,” read the notices sent to employees, according to the AP”
Today’s DNC Word is “Bloodbath”.
Due to a horrible mistake, the condoms with holes in them which were meant to increase the need for Planned Parenthood’s abortions and Pfizer’s AIDS drugs were accidentally sent to Hamas. This caused their bombs balloons to deflate and detonate while still over Gaza. < /sarc>
“Bloodbath”
When is firing or laying people off a “bloodbath.” The Friggin far left RAT turds are such Drama Queens. When I was a kid, if I didn’t eat all my peas, the kids in Afrika started dropping like flies. Now, laying off Federal employees is killing them. That’s some weird stuff right there.
You got that moronic Cauliphonya “congressman”, Bo Bo Garcia saying the Doge audits are barfights and the moron wants everyone to bring guns to it. The boy has been watching too many Peruvian major motion pictures.
I thought the term “bloodbath” was terrorism or something. Trump used it once last year, and the legacy media had a collective meltdown, claimed Trump was threatening people with physical harm/dismemberment.
