🚨 Another MASSIVE WIN for DOGE & Trump:

USDA slashing DC staff by 56%
Thousands of bureaucrats GONE.
Jobs moved OUT of the Swamp and INTO real America.

Last time? Nearly all of them quit! Trump got to replace them. You know, the jobs still there.

Here’s what’s coming 🧵

2/ President Trump’s team is executing a full-scale overhaul of the USDA.

👉 Over 2,600 Washington jobs cut
👉 Five new regional hubs:

• Raleigh
• Kansas City
• Indianapolis
• Fort Collins
• Salt Lake City

They’re draining the Swamp—literally.

3/ This has three effects:

- HUGE reduction in headcount
- Remaining workers closer to the people they "serve"
- When faced with moving out of the Beltway, most quit

That means Trump replaces them.

4/ DC isn’t where the farmers are.

“American agriculture feeds and fuels this country,” said Sec. Brooke Rollins. “It’s time USDA actually served farmers—not federal employees.”

Trump’s mandate: serve the PEOPLE not the Deep Staters. And do it where they actually live.

5/ The DC facilities are overbuilt, underused, and cost billions in deferred maintenance. The South Building alone has a $1.3B backlog—and it’s 1/3 empty.

Waste!

And it's not just USDA.

DOGE is already cutting deep at:
• IRS
• EPA
• USAID
• Dept. of Education
• Many more

6/ This is bigger than any one agency.

It’s about breaking the back of the Deep State and restoring fiscal sanity.

Less D.C. power.
More local control.

Lower costs.
Better service.

And no more career bureaucrats "resisting" the leaders we the people sent to Washington!

7/ USDA will continue critical functions:

✅ Food safety
✅ Wildfire response
✅ National security roles

But they’ll do it from outside DC, where the people actually live and work.

Trump is building a leaner, accountable, America-First government.
