Speaker Mike Johnson is throwing his support behind Elon Musk following President Donald Trump’s tense closed-door meeting with his Cabinet, saying that the role of Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency is going through a “recalibration” and that Musk will correct his mistakes along the way.

“I think the president kind of did a recalibration yesterday. He brought in Elon and he brought in the Cabinet secretaries, and they had a dialogue about the process, to formalize more of this,” Johnson said in an interview Friday on Fox News.

When asked about his message to fired veterans across the country growing angry at Republicans over DOGE’s move fast and break things approach, Johnson said “we have to take care of our veterans.”

He defended Musk, saying “there’s no playbook” for DOGE and that the Tesla CEO and special adviser to Trump may have some mishaps that will be fixed.

That goes for the mass cuts to veteran jobs, Johnson said.

"Stay tuned, stay tuned, because it's gonna be corrected. And I've talked to Elon about this personally, and many of us have,” Johnson said. “And the essential employees and the people doing great work will come back."

US health agency staff offered $25k to resign – media

The HHS has reportedly offered a voluntary separation package to all employees as part of the US president’s crackdown on government spending

The US Department of Health and Human Services(HHS) has reportedly offered its 80,000 employees a $25,000 voluntary buyoutto encourage resignations as part of President Donald Trump’s initiative to reduce the federal workforce.

The health agency emailed its staff onFriday night offering a “voluntary separation incentive payment” aimed at workforce reductions without resorting to forced layoffs, CBS News and NBC News reported Saturday, citing sources.Employees have until March 14 to apply, with departures expected before the end of the fiscal year. Neither the White House nor HHS has responded to media requests for comment.

HHS oversees several major health agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and others.The reported buyout offer follows a wave of recent job cuts across the agency. Thousands of probationary HHS workers – those employed for less than a year – were reportedly informed last month that they would be let go. The CDC has also seen significant workforce reductions.

In late February, US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. hinted at further cuts at his department,saying he had a “generic list” of employees he wanted removed.

The buyout offers are part of Trump’s broader crackdown on government spending and bureaucracy, spearheaded by the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) led by billionaire Elon Musk. Since its inception shortly after Trump’s inauguration, DOGE has led a sweeping overhaul of federal agencies, slashing jobs, eliminating programs, and restructuring departments.

Last month, DOGE announced that theInter-American Foundation, a US foreign aid agency, had been downsizedto just one employee, the minimum required for operation. It also targetedUSAID, Washington’s primary mechanism for funding political projects abroad,laying off 2,000 employeesand placing most of the remaining staff on leave.
