The Trump administration is aggressively restructuring federal agencies, particularly USAID, to remove personnel identified as anti-Trump, anti-American, or overly progressive. This strategy, motivated by Trump's campaign promises to eliminate the "Deep State," has escalated quickly, catching many off guard. Major agencies like the CIA are offering buyouts to shift towards a younger workforce, while high-profile officials, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, are examining the "weaponization" of agencies against Trump. Concerns regarding loyalty checks and hostile workplace environments are surfacing among government employees.
Some State Department workers sent word to Axios that they suspect administration officials "are now stalking people's LinkedIn to check their backgrounds for possible loyalty issues."
The speed and tactics of Trump's vengeance-fueled cost-cutting efforts have been surprising, with a focus on rooting out perceived resistance in federal agencies.
