Trump Slashes USAID Workforce Before Midnight, 1,600 Jobs Cut Amid Foreign Aid Pause | Details

The Trump administration is cutting 1,600 positions at USAID, placing most remaining staff on administrative leave.

Fewer than 300 employees will stay to oversee select life-saving programs. The cuts follow a 90-day foreign aid freeze and scrutiny over alleged wasteful spending.

A judge lifted a temporary restraining order on the layoffs, allowing the reductions to proceed just before midnight on February 23, 2025.

‘STUPID QUESTION': Trump Press Sec INSULTS Reporter Over LA Riot Question | Leavitt Stuns Press Room

During a heated press conference, Trump Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stunned reporters by calling a question from journalist Jasmine Wright “stupid.” Wright had asked whether Trump supports peaceful protests at his upcoming birthday military parade. Leavitt initially affirmed Trump’s support for the First Amendment but then turned combative, accusing Democrats of tolerating unrest. The press room moment, caught on camera, left Wright visibly shocked and sparked criticism of Leavitt’s tone. The administration also addressed ongoing anti-ICE protests, boasting about recent arrests as tensions rise nationwide. #KarolineLeavitt #TrumpPressSecretary #WhiteHouse #JasmineWright #PressFreedom #JournalismMatters #PoliticalTensions #TrumpProtests #FirstAmendment #PeacefulProtests #MediaClash #NOTUSNews #ReporterInsult #PressConferenceDrama #FreedomOfSpeech #TrumpBirthdayParade #WashingtonDC #ICEProtests #LawEnforcement #MolotovCocktail #ProtestRights #USPolitics #WhiteHouseBriefing #BreakingNews #TrumpSupporters #ReporterVsPressSecretary #LeavittVsMedia #MediaBacklash #AntiICEProtests #FreePress #LARiot Also Read To Secure Rare Earth Minerals...: US Prez Donald Trump Announces 55% Tariff Hike On Chinese Goods :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/to-secure-rare-earth-minerals-us-prez-donald-trump-announces-55-tariff-hike-on-chinese-goods-4178549.html?ref=DMDesc Went Too Far: Elon Musk Expresses 'Regrets' Over Posts On US President Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/went-too-far-elon-musk-expresses-regrets-over-posts-on-us-president-donald-trump-4178235.html?ref=DMDesc US Deploys 700 Marines To Los Angeles As Immigration Protests Intensify Against Trump's Diktat :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-deploys-700-marines-to-los-angeles-as-immigration-protests-intensify-against-trumps-diktat-4176947.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~

‘You Will NOT Succeed
’ U.S Press Secretary’s BLASTS ‘Illegal Alliens’ | LA Riots | Anti-ICE Protest

During a fiery White House press briefing, Fox News correspondent Alexandria Hoff pressed Trump Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt with a provocative question: “Does the president see himself as a king?” Hoff was referencing the upcoming “No Kings Day” protest planned for Trump’s birthday military parade, aimed at criticizing ICE raids and authoritarian optics. Leavitt, unfazed, dismissed the premise as “absurd” and reaffirmed Trump’s respect for the Constitution. She also slammed Democrats for politicizing American symbols and defended the parade as a “celebration of freedom, not royalty.” #TrumpPressBriefing #KarolineLeavitt #NoKingsDay #FoxNews #AlexandriaHoff #TrumpMilitaryParade #WhiteHouseDrama #ICEProtests #AmericanFlag #KingTrump #PoliticalSatire #FirstAmendment #MediaFireworks #WashingtonProtests #ReporterVsPressSec #FreePress #ConstitutionalDebate #TrumpBirthdayEvent #RightToProtest #USPolitics #oneindianews #oneindiaenglish #breakingnews #worldnews #englishnewslive #englishnews #latestnews #news ~HT.410~ED.194~

Trump Loyalist Russel Vought Takes Over DOGE, Vought To Lead Mass Layoffs With ‘Slash & Burn’ Agenda

Elon Musk has stepped down from leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), handing the reins to conservative policy strategist Russell Vought. A key Trump ally, Vought is best known for shaping Project 2025 and pushing aggressive spending cuts and federal downsizing. He aims to revive Trump’s Schedule F and slash budgets at agencies like USAID and NPR. Musk, who reportedly wants to focus on Tesla and SpaceX, had worked closely with Vought during DOGE’s early days. Critics warn Vought's Christian nationalist leanings and military spending cuts may spark major backlash. #ElonMusk #RussellVought #DOGE #Trump #GovernmentEfficiency #Project2025 #ScheduleF #FederalCuts #ChristianNationalism #Tesla #SpaceX #MuskExit #VoughtAgenda #BudgetCuts #NPR #USAID #CFPB #MilitarySpending #GOP #PoliticalNews #WashingtonWatch #BureaucracyReform #TrumpAdmin #GovernmentOverhaul #WhiteHousePolicy #SpendingCuts #PolicyShift #BreakingNews #ConservativeAgenda #MuskVsVought Also Read Elon Musk Exits Trump Administration After Slamming ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ on His Way Out :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-exits-trump-administration-after-slamming-big-beautiful-bill-on-his-way-out-4166709.html?ref=DMDesc Elon Musk Criticises Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill', A Fracture In Key Relationship :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-criticises-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-a-fracture-in-key-relationship-4166667.html?ref=DMDesc SpaceX Starship Explodes Mid-Flight During Third Test, Firm Cites 'Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/spacex-starship-explodes-mid-flight-during-third-test-firm-cites-rapid-unscheduled-disassembly-4165683.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.124~

Musk Vs Trump: What Next For Trump’s Doge After Elon Musk Quits Trump Team? DOGE in Trouble?

Elon Musk's departure from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) marks a significant shift in the Trump administration's cost-cutting agenda. Musk, who served as a special government employee, stepped down after reaching the 130-day service limit. His exit follows criticism of the administration's "One Big Beautiful Bill," which Musk argued would increase the federal deficit, countering DOGE's objectives. During his tenure, Musk aimed to reduce federal spending by $2 trillion but managed to cut approximately $150 billion. His efforts included auditing government credit cards, canceling leases on underutilized federal buildings, and restructuring agencies like USAID and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. #ElonMusk #Trump #TrumpDOGE #TrumpVsMusk #MuskResignation #MuskTrumpFallout #ElonMuskNews #TrumpAdministration #MuskQuits #MuskGovernmentExit #WhiteHouseLive #MuskPoliticalViews #TrumpNews #USPolitics #ElonMuskControversy #MuskSteppingDown #TrumpWhiteHouse #MuskPoliticalDecision #ElonMuskStatement #TrumpMuskDrama #TrumpAdministrationChanges ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.346~GR.122~
