DOGE Arrives at the Pentagon, Many Layoffs Expected
It is going to be interesting to see what kind of cuts is going to be made at the Pentagon once DOGE gets through with it:
The Trump administration has directed defense agencies to turn over a list of their probationary employees by the end of Tuesday, with the expectation that many could be fired as soon as this week, according to five people familiar with the matter.
The directive coincides with the arrival at the Pentagon of personnel from billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, which has overseen the firing of thousands of probationary employees in other federal agencies and coordinated the dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development.
It was not immediately clear whether any probationary employees in the Defense Department will be exempt from plans to reduce headcount, but the expectation is that many will not, said people familiar with the matter who, like some others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

I’m sitting here now waiting to see if a RIF notice comes for me, was exempt from the Jan 28th 7 months admin leave OPM offer due to job series. There is no reason why DOD shouldn’t be sweating it out with those of us in the other Agencies.
Fire everyone, and throw all of them out on their a$$es.
KM, come on over and fly commercial after you cut us all, and you think it’s bad now.
Who needs nuclear weapons maintenance? Who needs food safety? Who needs control of bird flu? Eggs are cheap. Who needs cancer research? Who needs air safety when nine plane crashes in one month is nothing? Who needs farmers? Who needs Veterans Affairs? Who needs medical insurance? Just cut cut cut cut, and get rid of everything…. except Musk’s $400 million Tesla armored cars, as well as 20 billion dollar subsidies for X, Space X, and Tesla cars. It’s only 13 billionaires in Trump’s cabinet, who have more money than 75 million lowest-earning Americans. Just keep the billionaires going, and get rid of everything else.
KM, you just spew nonsense.
Get rid of Flyingsword too.
KM, turn off MSNBC/LSD, it’s rotting your mind.
Why not also add to your list, CNN, CBS, PBS, NBC, BBC, NY Times, LA Times, FT Times, Wall Street Journal… heck all of them? They’re all getting sued for making Trump look bad.
Stick with FOX and X. Now there are no LSD there.
KM- stick with the Financial Times, maybe add The Daily Mail. Don’t waste time with US legacy corporate media.
