Trump administration fires thousands of federal workers as purge deepens
Briefly

The White House has not released the number of employees fired as it enforces a deadline for agencies to terminate probationary workers, totaling around 200,000 across the government. The firings primarily target probationary and term-limited employees, with some permanent civil servants affected as well. Many terminations were executed via email notification, and among the notable firings, all communications staff at The Office of Personnel Management were laid off, paralleling actions taken by Elon Musk at Twitter to streamline operations.
The firings primarily include probationary workers and term-limited employees, although some permanent civil servants have also been let go. Termination notices are largely being communicated via email.
In a significant move reminiscent of Elon Musk's approach at Twitter, all 18 communications staffers at The Office of Personnel Management were terminated, indicating a broader trend towards reducing government staff.
