🚨 DC Reacts as Federal Workers Face Uncertainty Under Trump Administration
Thousands of federal employees in the DMV area are facing sudden upheaval as the Trump administration halts pay guarantees, forces resignations, and attempts to shut down USAID.
📌 Key Developments:
🔴 Mass Resignations & Pay Uncertainty
- A plan allowing federal workers to resign and still receive pay through September has been paused until Monday.
- That same day, many federal employees are being forced back to in-person work without clarity on their job security.
🔴 USAID Shutdown Blocked—For Now
- A federal judge in DC has temporarily blocked the administration’s plan to place 2,200 USAID employees on administrative leave at midnight.
- Signs at the USAID headquarters were seen being taken down and covered up.
🔴 Elon Musk’s Role Sparks Protests
- The Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, announced plans to shut down USAID entirely.
- Protesters accuse Musk of a political power grab after his department allegedly accessed highly restricted government records of millions of federal employees.
- Many federal workers fear mass layoffs could be next.

“It’s scary. We don’t know who’s next.”

“It’s hard to know who is hiring or where our field goes from here. But at least there’s a sense of community as we navigate this dystopian world together.”
