Trump's bureaucracy goes to war
Briefly

President Trump’s administration is moving aggressively to reshape the federal government within his first week in office. Key actions include freezing foreign aid, targeting DEI programs, and purging officials viewed as ideologically opposed. This overhaul is marked by the controversial dismissal of 17 inspectors general, which appears to breach legal notification requirements. The crackdown on DEI initiatives extends across multiple departments, enforcing a culture of reporting among employees. The swift actions taken raise concerns about governance and oversight, with several congressional leaders demanding accountability from the administration.
The federal bureaucracy is transforming rapidly under Trump, with moves to eliminate DEI programs, fire officials deemed suspect, and freeze foreign aid.
Inspectors general were fired in a manner that may violate federal law, prompting calls from Congress for clarification regarding the firings.
