🚨BREAKING: State Department officials admit they didn’t know how many employees worked there.
It took 3 months just to get a headcount.
Now 3,000 bureaucrats are gone.
Here’s how Marco Rubio is gutting the Deep State—and why it's important. 🧵

Here’s how Marco Rubio is gutting the Deep State—and why it's important. 🧵
2/ One official confessed: “It’s sort of scary as a taxpayer... Who are these people?”
Dozens of HR departments.
Over 700 offices.
One form required 50+ clearances to sign.
This is the foreign policy machine that told you it was "managing" China. And Iran.

3/ Rubio’s team cut:
▪️ 3 separate sanctions offices
▪️ 2 duplicate arms control offices
▪️ 60+ offices making payments
▪️ Staff getting paid to “recruit” at Georgetown with zero oversight
And that's far from all. It was just the Deep State Full Employment Program.

4/ They didn’t touch:
✅ Country desks (China, Iran, etc.)
✅ Passport services
✅ Diplomatic security
✅ Foreign posts or embassies
This wasn’t random. It was surgical.
They cut the rot, not the mission.

5/ In one official's words:
“A climate change office is not countering China.”
One foreign minister thanked Rubio’s team. Because under Biden, U.S. diplomats tried to unionize their foreign workers and push LGBTQ+.
That's not diplomacy. That's a Democrat slush fund.

6/ The Supreme Court cleared the way for mass layoffs.
And Rubio’s team didn’t blink.
Half took buyouts. The rest got RIF (reduction in force) notices.
The Deep State is being defunded.
For the first time in decades, someone followed through.

7/ Trump is cutting the bureaucratic swamp at its root.
Rubio is executing it.
And for the first time in years, America’s diplomats are being told to serve America—not the globalist elite.
