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.

During a heated press conference, Trump Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stunned reporters by calling a question from journalist Jasmine Wright âstupid.â Wright had asked whether Trump supports peaceful protests at his upcoming birthday military parade. Leavitt initially affirmed Trumpâs 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 Leavittâs tone. The administration also addressed ongoing anti-ICE protests, boasting about recent arrests as tensions rise nationwide.

During a fiery White House press briefing, Fox News correspondent Alexandria Hoff pressed Trump Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt with a provocative question: âDoes the president see himself as a king?â Hoff was referencing the upcoming âNo Kings Dayâ protest planned for Trumpâs birthday military parade, aimed at criticizing ICE raids and authoritarian optics. Leavitt, unfazed, dismissed the premise as âabsurdâ and reaffirmed Trumpâs respect for the Constitution. She also slammed Democrats for politicizing American symbols and defended the parade as a âcelebration of freedom, not royalty.â

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 Trumpâs 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 DOGEâs early days. Critics warn Vought's Christian nationalist leanings and military spending cuts may spark major backlash.

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.
