The Johns Hopkins University said on Thursday it will slash over 2,000 jobs in the U.S. and abroad after the administration of President Donald Trump terminated $800 million in grants to the renowned academic ins ution.
It marked the biggest layoff in the university's history and involved 247 domestic U.S. workers for the academic ins ution and another 1,975 positions outside the U.S. in 44 countries.

https://apnews.com/article/us-postal...91fcb368b4d9d8USPS agrees to work with DOGE on reform, planning to cut 10,000 workers
Postmaster General Louis DeJoy plans to cut 10,000 workers and billions of dollars from the U.S. Postal Service budget and he’ll do that working with Elon Musk ’s Department of Government Efficiency, according to a letter sent to members of Congress on Thursday.
DOGE will assist USPS with addressing “big problems” at the $78 billion-a-year agency, which has sometimes struggled in recent years to stay afloat. The agreement also includes the General Services Administration in an effort to help the Postal Service identify and achieve “further efficiencies.”

K-9 bomb sniffer dog units have become the latest victims of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, just as the White House celebrated a national day honoring the heroic animals.
Workers at the TSA were informed via email that “new guidance” meant that requests for costs including vet visits, kenneling and dog food, had been put on hold effective immediately, according to Fox News. The directive was revealed on Thursday. TSA is in charge of airport security and its dogs can be used to sniff out bombs and other contraband.
The developments comes hours after President Donald Trump reposted a picture of himself with a now-deceased dog to mark National K-9 Veterans Day. The president shared a picture of himself with Conan.
“Happy K9 Veterans Day to all of our heroic working dogs, including Conan who fearlessly participated in the military operation that ended ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in 2019,” the president wrote.

it's a prelude to privatizating the USPS
in fairness, it's been a long prelude -- the US Congress half-throttled the USPS in 2006 by requiring it to prefund its retirement system for 75 years
It was a nice run. It was always amazing to me that for the price of one stamp you can ask them to carry a do ent for you from coast to coast.
a truly great US ins ution, we may never see its likes again
We can hope it never breaks even for a year
muhahahahahaha!!!
in a court declaration -- an admission
https://storage.courtlistener.com/re...6609.116.1.pdfMarko Elez, the DOGE operative who had read-write access to the Treasury payment system, sent PII found in Treasury records to GSA officials in an unencrypted form and without being authorized to do so, according to a sworn statement filed in federal court last night and first noted by Bloomberg
So let's put someone with absolutely no experience with it in charge of it. Like Trump.
Yeah someone needs to press charges.
"GSA officials" is load bearing -- that could well be other members of DOGE
y'all are gonna miss it when crappy corporations take over
What conflict of interest?
".....The proposal to use government savings to distribute $5,000 checks to American taxpayers has been backed by President Donald Trump and his billionaire backer and close confidant Elon Musk.....
.....According to the DOGE website, with current savings of $115 billion, each taxpayer would receive approximately $142 if distributed today.....

gullible boot licking country bumpkins
Julius Caesar gave every Roman citizen 50 gold pieces as part of his successful bid to become Emperor -- a lot of Americans would probably sell their birthrights in exchange for a small, one-time payment
