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.

🚨BREAKING: Corporation for Public Broadcasting announces it will shut down after Trump, Congress cut funding
The CPB—funding arm of NPR and PBS—is shutting down after Trump pulled the plug.
Yes, really. Not "reduced". Gone.
Here’s what just happened 🧵
2/ The CPB confirmed today it will begin “an orderly wind-down of operations” after Congress passed Trump’s rescissions package, cutting its funding entirely.
After nearly 60 years of taxpayer funding, the checkbook is closed.
🚨BREAKING: Trump just moved two U.S. NUCLEAR SUBMARINES after threats from a top Putin ally.
Dmitry Medvedev literally threatened nuclear war.
Trump's response: “Watch your words.”
The era of weakness is over. 🧵
2/ In a late-night post, Trump confirmed he ordered two nuclear subs to deploy “in the appropriate regions” after what he called “foolish and inflammatory statements” by Medvedev.
“Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences.”
Indeed.
3/ Who is Medvedev?
He’s Russia’s former President and now deputy head of Putin’s Security Council. And he’s gone off the rails—posting nuclear threats, mocking peace efforts, and daring Trump to act.
