Trump isn’t the only one targeting federal employees. House Republicans are pushing cuts to pension benefits By Tami Luhby, CNN Updated: 9:00 AM EDT, Sat May 10, 2025 1/2
After months of contending with the Trump administration’s multi-pronged effort to downsize the federal workforce, government employees are now facing the possibility of another major change that could push even more of them out the door.
House Republicans are looking to make several big adjustments to federal workers’ retirement benefits to help pay for the party’s sweeping tax and spending cuts package.The House Oversight Committee last week approved a plan that would squeeze $50 billion in savings out of the retirement system over the next decade.
“They’re going to charge people more for the benefit, and then they’re going to reduce the benefit by changing the formula for how the benefit is calculated,” Jacqueline Simon, policy director of the American Federation of Government Employees, the largest federal workers union, told reporters on Monday.
The cuts could lead workers eligible for retirement to head for the exits in an effort to lock in their current benefits, union leaders say.
Congressional Republicans have long wanted to overhaul federal staffers’ pension system, as did President Donald Trump during his first term. But their efforts typically did not advance far.
In the current political environment, however, the policy push may have a greater chance of succeeding. Republicans’ “big, beautiful bill” has not yet been finalized and must still be approved by the full House and the Senate.
Rep. James Comer, the committee’s chair, described the effort as a way to save Americans money.
“The simple truth is that a significant amount of the costs associated with all of these benefits are funded by hardworking taxpayers in the private sector and increasingly now federal government borrowing,” Comer said in his opening remarks when the committee examined the plan.
At least one House Republican has already come out against the measure.Ohio Rep. Mike Turner joined Democrats in voting against the committee’s plan last week.
“I oppose any and all efforts to reduce federal spending by taking money from the hard-earned pensions of federal workers,” he said in a statement. “These pensions are not giveaways – they are promises to federal workers in exchange for their dedicated service.” (So Mike Turner, it doesn’t matter to you when citizens retire and get no benefits, but only hard earned pension federal workers are entitled to it? He hates Trump)
Hiking the contribution rate
The most significant measure approved by the committee would raise the Federal Employees Retirement System contribution rate for many current civilian and postal employees to 4.4% of their salary.Those hired prior to 2014 generally contribute either 0.8% or 3.1%, while more recent hires typically already contribute 4.4%.
For new retirees who are too young to collect Social Security benefits, the plan would eliminate an additional payment that’s currently available to retired federal workers until they turn 62. (how do they get a pension and SS?)
The plan would also base retirees’ pension payments on their average highest five earning years, instead of highest three years, which could reduce benefits by thousands of dollars annually.

Certain employees, including those in law enforcement, Customs and Border Protection officers and air traffic controllers, would not be subject to these provisions,though they would not be eligible for the additional pension payment until after their mandatory retirement age of 56 or 57, depending on their position.
Plus, the plan would impose an additional 5% pension contribution for new employees who don’t agree to serve “at will,” a status that would give them fewer job protections.
The proposed plan has sparked a fresh round of concerns among federal workers, particularly among older employees, union leaders say.
“People are very frustrated at the moment, thinking that it’s kind of like a bait and switch,” said Brandy Moore White, president of the AFGE’s Council of Prison Locals, which represents more than 30,000 correctional officers and staff at federal prisons.
Although her members are not subject to many of the provisions, those who retire before they turn 57 would not receive supplemental payments until they hit that mandatory retirement age. The loss would be “devastating” for a share of the prison workforce since it’s not uncommon for employees to retire in their 40s or early 50s after years of service. (How do they get paid at 57, that’s not even social security age. I hate this government that cares more for employees, than citizens.)
At the Social Security Administration, a quarter of the staff are eligible for retirement, said Jessica LaPointe, president of AFGE’s Council 220, which represents workers in the agency’s centers, field offices and other units. Some are calling her to say they want to put in their retirement papers now so they can lock in their pension benefits.
“There’s no way that I would be able to absorb that hit,” she said her colleagues are telling her.

They just don't care about citizens that work all their lives, receive no pension or perks, but because "they are hard working pampered government employees, they freaking lose their mindPlus DOGE has already proven for the last 4 years 60-70% of federal workers didn't work under Bidan.

Trump Turns to Expert Finns to Build Fleet of Icebreakers, Dominate Arctic from Greenland.
May 12, 2025
PULSE POINTS:
❓What Happened: President Donald J.Trump’s plan to acquire Greenland and dominate Arctic commerce hinges on building a new U.S. icebreaker fleet. Finland’sunmatchedexpertise in designing and constructing these ships is poised to play a pivotal role in achieving this ambition.
👥Who’s Involved: President Trump, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Aker Arctic CEO Mika Hovilainen, and Helsinki Shipyard’s new Canadian owner, Davie Shipbuilding.
📍Where & When: Finland and the U.S., with Trump’s icebreaker push gaining traction in May 2025.
💬Key Quote: “What does Finland have to offer the United States? Number one is icebreakers,” Finnish President Alexander Stubb said.
⚠️Impact: Finland’s icebreaker prowess could fast-track Trump’s Arctic strategy, strengthening U.S. presence in a contested region.
IN FULL:
President Donald J. Trump’s bold vision to secure Greenland and unlock the Arctic’s commercial and strategic potential is taking shape, with Finland’s world-leading icebreaker industry ready to answer the call.Having built or designed 80 percent of the world’s icebreakers, the European Union (EU) country offers unmatched expertise to help the U.S. construct a new fleet.
“Ice is our playground,” said Mika Hovilainen, CEO of Aker Arctic, a Finnish firm designing ships for Canada, Sweden, and now eyeing American contracts. “We want to be involved in every Western icebreaker,” Hovilainen added, noting his role in designing 10 ships, including one that operates sideways.
Trump, after meeting Finnish President Alexander Stubb, posted on Truth Social about boosting U.S.-Finnish ties, “and that includes the purchase and development of a large number of badly needed Icebreakers for the U.S.” Stubb echoed the sentiment, stating, “What does Finland have to offer the United States? Number one is icebreakers.We build them faster than anyone in the world and at about half the price.
”Finland’s edge stems from necessity—its Baltic Sea trade relies on ice-free routes—and a century of building over 120 icebreakers. Unlike the U.S., where expertise fades between rare projects, Finland’s shipyards and suppliers maintain continuous innovation.
With only a handful of aging vessels, the U.S. has lagged in icebreaker development. The Joe Biden-era ICE Pact with Canada and Finland, reaffirmed in March 2025, aims to share expertise, but Trump’s Greenland push demands more urgency.Icebreakers, built to smash ice over 10 feet thick, require specialized hulls, broad bows, and robust systems to withstand extreme cold.
Trump’s Arctic strategy, tied to Greenland’s vast natural resources and strategic location, positions the U.S. to counter Russia and China in a contested region.

Panamanians Pushed Out of Canal Work by Foreigners Back U.S. Return.
PULSE POINTS:
❓What Happened: President Donald J. Trump’s pledge to “take back” the Panama Canal from Chinese influencehas won support from frustrated Panamanian workers, who say foreigners are favored over locals for canal jobs.
👥Who’s Involved: President Donald J. Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Panama’s President José Raúl Mulino, and local workers like Marvin Moreno.
📍Where & When: Panama Canal, with Trump’s campaign intensifying since his inauguration in January.
💬Key Quote: “Right now [Trump] is the best option becausethe president we have is putting Panamanians practically against a wall,” said Panamanian welder Marvin Moreno.
⚠️Impact: Trump’s pressure has secured U.S. military access to the canal and pushed Panama to ditch China’s Belt and Road, strengthening America’s grip on a vital trade route despite opposition from some local elites.
IN FULL:
President Donald J. Trump’s mission to reclaim influence over the Panama Canal is resonating with a growing cohort of Panamanian workers frustrated by their government’s mismanagement and perceived foreign favoritism. Construction workers see the return of U.S. influence as a path to restore local jobs and curb Chinese encroachment.
“May Trump come, take the canal in his pocket, and remove all those people from its administration. They are thieves,” one unemployed worker told The Telegraph, echoing the sentiment among laborers who claim
Panama’s President José Raúl Mulino prioritizes foreign workers, particularly from a Chinese consortiumbuilding the canal’s $1.4 billion fourth bridge. Marvin Moreno, a 42-year-old welder, put it bluntly: “Right now [Trump] is the best option because the president we have is putting Panamanians practically against a wall. He is practically acting as a dictator.
”Trump has made the 51-mile waterway, which handles 40 percent of U.S. container traffic, a cornerstone of his foreign policy agenda, slamming the late Democratic President Jimmy Carter for “foolishly” ceding it to Panama. He accuses China of controlling the canal throughCK Hutchison Holdings, a Hong Kong-based firm managing two adjacent ports, despite Panama’s denials.
Trump’s administration hassuccessfully pressured the company to sell to a U.S. consortium and secured Panama’s exitfrom China’s Belt and Road Initiative after Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s February 2025 visit. He has also secured a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in April, granting U.S. military vessels free passage and allowing U.S. troops to train on Panamanian soil.
“We will take back the Panama Canal from China’s influence,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared in a press conference at the canal. Trump doubled down on Truth Social, demanding free passage for U.S. military and commercial ships through both the Panama and Suez canals, arguing they “would not exist” without America.
While some Panamanians, like opposition leader Ricardo Lombana, call the MOU a “camouflaged invasion” and challenge its legality,workers like Moreno see Trump as defending Panama’s sovereignty against their government’s failures.
