🚨🇺🇸 TRUMP ADMIN TO FEDERAL WORKERS: TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN—OR ELSE

Over 20,000 federal employees—roughly 1% of the government workforce—have taken the Trump administration’s offer to quit while still getting paid through September.

The deal is part of a plan to shrink the government fast, offering buyouts to 2 million civilian workers.

They have until February 6 to decide if they want to cash out or stick around and risk layoffs.

The offer excludes immigration officers, air traffic controllers, national security staff, and Postal Service workers.

Meanwhile, a hiring freeze ensures those leaving won’t be replaced anytime soon.

According to a leaked memo from the General Services Administration, anyone still holding out might be forced out the hard way once the buyout deadline passes.
