All federal workers employed less than one year to be fired (200,000 employees)
The Trump administration has directed agency heads to fire most trial period and probationary staff within two days, taking aim at many of the roughly 200,000 people hired by the federal government within the last two years, according to four people familiar with internal conversations who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly.
It was not immediately clear precisely how many employees would be affected. One person familiar with the matter said some employees, such as those working on public safety and law enforcement issues, would be exempted, and agency heads could carve out others based on particular needs.
But agencies appeared to move quickly on Thursday to carry out the directive, according to interviews with dozens of federal employees and records obtained by The Washington Post. Thousands of workers were laid off in messages delivered through prerecorded videos and on group calls. Some were ordered to leave the building within 30 minutes. Others were told they would be formally fired by email, which never arrived.
The latest data shows there were more than 220,000 federal employees within their one-year probationary period as of last March, according to Fedscope. These workers typically have little protection from being fired without cause.
“It’s stripping out, likely, a whole new generation of talent for our government, who are targeted not because of evidence of poor performance but because they are easier to get rid of,” said Max Stier, president and CEO of Partnership for Public Service, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization focused on improving government.
The directive accelerates the effort to shrink the federal government, a priority of Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service celebrated by President Donald Trump, who has derided the bureaucracy as bloated and corrupt. The sweeping layoffs started Wednesday and hit at least five agencies responsible for work ranging from supporting small businesses to developing school curriculums. Federal News Network first reported that the Office of Personnel Management advised federal agencies to fire probationary employees with less than a year on the job.
A spokesperson for the government’s human resources agency said the moves were “in support of the President’s broader efforts to restructure and streamline the federal government to better serve the American people at the highest possible standard.”
“The probationary period is a continuation of the job application process, not an entitlement for permanent employment,” said the spokesperson for the U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
Probationary employees, dozens who said they had never received negative feedback about their work, received emails citing their performance to assert they “have not demonstrated that your further employment at the Agency would be in the public interest,” according to the correspondences reviewed by The Washington Post.
One agency, the Small Business Administration, listed a paralegal phone number for laid off employees to appeal their terminations.
The number was an automated line for an apartment building.
“Thank you for calling Westbrook Place, a team that is dedicated to taking care of the way you live while offering you an extraordinary living experience,” a voice said after a reporter called the listed number. “We look forward to sharing why Westbrook Place is the perfect place to call home.”
At the Education Department, emails went out to dozens of probationary employees Wednesday, notifying them they were fired.
One staffer who lost her job worked in the department’s office of special education, helping students with disabilities. In an interview, she said she had moved across the country with her partner to take the position last summer, spending all her savings in the process.
She was working from home because of the snow when she got the email. She was removed from her position in the civil service that same day.
Before she could process what had happened, her supervisor called, she said. He was surprised and devastated, he told her. He’d received the email at the same time she did.
“Do I need to finish work?” she recalled asking.
“No,” he told her.

Top-ranking NIH official forced to retire under Trump administration

A top-ranking scientist at the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Lawrence Tabak, was forced to retire this week, multiple people familiar with the move say, marking the highest-profile departure of a health official under the Trump administration so far this year.
Tabak's retirement, which he told colleagues was effective Tuesday, ends a decades-long tenure serving at the federal medical research agency, including multiple years as the acting director of the NIH during the COVID-19 pandemic. He also served as the agency's top ethics official.
An email circulated among NIH staff from Tabak did not explain why he was abruptly stepping down, which multiple people familiar with the decision said came earlier than he was planning. One person said he did not plan to retire until at least the fall.
Tabak told one federal researcher that he said he "found it necessary to retire today from federal service." A former colleague said Tabak, who should have been the second-in-command at the agency, had been excluded from key meetings.
Tabak and spokespeople for the National Institutes of Health did not immediately return requests for comment.
"He has helped shape important policy decisions at NIH over four administrations. He has guided NIH through complex issues and will be sorely missed," acting NIH Director Dr. Matthew Memoli said in an email Wednesday afternoon to NIH staff announcing the retirement.
The departure follows years of intense scrutiny of Tabak from Republican lawmakers at multiple congressional hearings, when he faced questioning over issues like the agency's oversight of "gain-of-function" research on viruses, which can make them more dangerous and is supposed to be tightly controlled, as well as grants to the EcoHealth Alliance and the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Under the Biden administration, the inspector general for the Department of Health and Human Services found in a review of grants dating back to 2014 that the NIH missed opportunities to avoid paying for $89,171 in costs to the groups that should not have been allowed, like vague employee bonuses. It also faulted the NIH for not doing more to ensure its funds did not go towards gain-of-function research.
Tabak's retirement also comes amid ongoing court battles over a decision last week to make steep cuts to the amount of money for facilities and administration costs that the federal government has agreed to pay for in medical research.
A federal judge has for now temporarily blocked those cuts nationwide, pending further arguments in lawsuits brought by medical colleges, universities and state attorneys general.
Several scientists have come out to praise Tabak, who was often tasked as the agency's principal deputy director to handle difficult problems at the NIH.
"Larry was brilliant at deflecting credit away from himself in order to raise up colleagues, mentees, and those who might otherwise have lacked a voice," posted Carrie Wolinetz, a former senior adviser to the NIH director.
In addition to his administrative duties, Tabak also continued to lead a team within the NIH publishing biochemistry research.
Jordan Lara, a research fellow in Tabak's lab at the NIH, praised him for having "always made time" for mentorship and scientific research.
"He would work 80 hours a week regularly with no days off. He truly gave himself up for the American public. it's absolutely insane to have him cast out like this and to paint him as anything other than a dedicated public servant," said Lara in a message.

USAID packages found among Hezbollah weapons cache in Lebanon
USAID humanitarian packages were found amidst a cache of weapons owned by terror group Hezbollah in Lebanon, an Israel Defense Forces soldier claimed to The Post.
“From the American taxpayer to Hezbollah, with love,” said Asher Fredman, a former IDF soldier and currently executive director of the Misgav Institute for National Security and Zionist Strategy, a think tank, in Jerusalem.
Asher told The Post that he found sniper rifles, anti-tank missiles and explosives alongside the care packages marked “USAID” while on patrol in an undisclosed village in Lebanon where the Iran-backed Hezbollah had a stronghold.

How come when 2 chicks are walking towards me on the sidewalk, 80% of the time they laugh right as they pass by me. It's always right when they are passing by. Is this a good thing or am I funny like a clown?
Prob around 80% also. Jews are super tribal and loyal to Israel. They will vote for what is in the best interest of Zion. Not really all that surprising though.
