Something’s not adding up

The report is: US employers added 228k jobs in March. About 2X the number added in Feb. The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.2% from 4.1% in Feb, as 232k people joined or rejoined the workforce.

But the report also says: Feb–March, #ElonMusk’s #DOGE signaled cuts of >280k #FederalWorkers & contractors in 27 agencies, acc/to a count kept by the outsourcing firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

A federal judge who had ordered the Trump administration to reinstate fired federal probationary employees across the country at more than a dozen agencies has narrowed the scope of his ruling so it now applies to workers in the 19 states and the District of Columbia that challenged the mass dismissals…

"Authorizing a #Musk-controlled agency like #OPM to hire a driver while slashing essential #FederalWorkers who actually help Americans in need is a good example."

The #Trump admin, #DOGE, Musk & Ezell did not respond to requests for comment. An OPM spox said in a statement that the agency "has ongoing security concerns" requiring a driver, w/o providing further detail.

OMG, this is so sweet. Wife found out her federal job was being eliminated. Husband drove her out to the burbs to a puppy adoption event, only to find out that they got the time wrong and missed it. So he posted on the DC sub reddit, and if you need a glimpse of human kindness, take a look:

He says he's witnessing "something big"

Da has followed the #Trump admin's firing of many US #FederalWorkers & its dismantling of #FederalAgencies. As a past visitor to Washington, he knows people who have been fired.

"Having said that," he added, "I don't want to be too critical to the Trump administration just from this personal level. As a scholar, I try to be neutral. I think there is something big happening in the #US. It could be bad. It could be good."

Whoa, yesterday, #Trump illegally stripped #CollectiveBargaining rights from hundreds of thousands of #FederalWorkers in 18 different departments across multiple #FederalAgencies.

The admin stated that “Certain Federal unions have declared *#war* on President Trump’s agenda.”

Is he going to use #wartime powers against #union members now?

This is the latest in a string of self-inflicted wounds by the new admin that are squandering America’s strength & threatening our #NationalSecurity. Firing hundreds of #FederalWorkers charged w/protecting our nation’s #nuclear weapons is also #dumb. So is shutting down efforts to fight #pandemics just as a deadly #Ebola outbreak is spreading in Africa. It makes no sense to purge talented generals, diplomats & spies at a time when rivals like China & Russia are trying to expand their…reach.

#Musk, as the architect of a group he called the Dept of Govt *Efficiency*, has taken a chain saw to the apparatus of governing, spurring #chaos & dread by pushing out some 100k #FederalWorkers & shutting down various agencies, though the govt has not been consistent in explaining the expanse of his #power.

But in selected spots across the govt, #SpaceX is positioning itself to see billions in new federal contracts or other support….

The 4th Circuit rejected the #Trump admin’s motion for a stay of the #TRO ordering the rehiring of probationary #FederalWorkers in State of Maryland v. USDA.

“Given the district court's stated intention to hold a hearing on March 26, 2025, & to promptly grant or deny preliminary injunctive relief thereafter, the court denies the appellant's request for an administrative stay or a stay pending the resolution of the appeal.”

“To be so sh--ty to the people who are supposed to be implementing your agenda, and to treat us the way we’ve been treated, it’s just ridiculous,” said an Air Force #veteran and longtime Defense Department employee who voted for #Trump three times.
