"The Trump administration issued guidance Wednesday directing federal agencies to pursue “large-scale” workforce cuts."
"EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin expects to cut most of that agency’s staff, President Donald Trump said Wednesday as he and his administration plow ahead with dramatic reductions to the federal workforce.
Zeldin “thinks he’s going to be cutting 65 or so percent of the people from environmental,” Trump said Wednesday at the White House as he convened his first Cabinet meeting.
Elon Musk spoke at that gathering Wednesday where he promoted the work his so-called Department of Government Efficiency has done so far to slash federal spending at agencies across the government. Trump at the meeting criticized the federal workforce for being “bloated” and “sloppy.”"
