"The latest President's Management Agenda includes goals to eliminate "woke" programs, downsize the government workforce and real estate portfolio, implement workforce reforms and modernize government technology, as well as targets to "annihilate government censorship of speech" and centralize government contracting. The agenda reflects much of the Trump administration's longstanding priority to drastically reshape the government, an objective the White House focused on immediately after the inauguration through its Department of Government Efficiency."
"The Trump administration has already implemented many of the agenda's federal workforce objectives included in the new plan, such as defunding diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, slashing the number of government workers and "hold[ing] employees accountable for results aligned with presidential policies." Under a larger goal to "eliminate woke, weaponization and waste," the administration includes directives to "eradicate" so-called woke programs, "end discrimination by government" and "cease payments to fraudsters and eliminate waste," among others."
"While federal agencies do sometimes fail to stop fraudsters from abusing government programs, the administration has also accused some of the programs and agencies it has shuttered since Jan. 20 of being rife with fraud - and then struggled to provide evidence of widespread fraud. Trump has also fired many of the inspectors general charged with doing the work of rooting out fraud, waste and abuse."
The Trump administration released a management agenda to "end weaponized government" by eliminating "woke" programs, downsizing the federal workforce, reducing real estate holdings, implementing workforce reforms, modernizing technology, annihilating government censorship of speech, and centralizing contracting. The administration has already defunded diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, reduced staffing levels, and directed accountability measures aligning employees with presidential policies. The agenda includes directives to eradicate so-called woke programs, end government discrimination claims, and cease payments to alleged fraudsters to eliminate waste. Agencies were accused of widespread fraud in programs that were closed, though evidence was reportedly limited. Several inspectors general have been fired amid the changes.
