President Trump is making waves with a decisive move to slash bloated government bureaucracy. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is axing around 1,000 jobs, following a previous cut of 1,300. This will shrink NOAA’s workforce by 20%, with concerns rising among scientists about potential gaps in weather forecasting as hurricane season nears.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is also taking major steps, planning to cut 80,000 jobs — aiming to revert to leaner, 2019-level staffing. This bold move is meant to improve healthcare services for veterans while reducing wasteful spending.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is undergoing a major shake-up. Nearly 50% of its 100,000 workforce will be eliminated through layoffs and buyouts. This long-overdue move will reduce government overreach and increase operational efficiency.
At the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), nearly all 80,000 employees have been offered $25,000 buyouts. This is part of a larger push to streamline operations and trim down excessive staffing.
The White House, with support from Elon Musk, is on a clear mission — cut the federal workforce by 20% this year. Over 100,000 federal employees have already been let go. This is part of Trump’s broader plan to reduce unnecessary spending, shrink government influence, and return power to the American people.
This is what true leadership looks like. By eliminating waste, President Trump is paving the way for a leaner, more efficient government — one that serves its citizens, not itself.
