07.02.2025 โข Day When Two Thousand Got Their Papers Back
โจRussell Vought's confirmation as OMB director in the morning signaled acceleration of Project 2025's federal restructuring. By afternoon, reports emerged of USAID's reduction to 290 employees from 10,000, triggering union lawsuits and international concern.
A federal judge blocked the administration's attempt to place 2,200 USAID workers on administrative leave, marking the first successful legal challenge to Trump's federal workforce reduction. The ruling came as companies like GM, Pepsi, and Disney quietly removed DEI references from investor documents.
DOGE faced multiple setbacks as a senior staffer resigned over racist social media posts, while 14 states prepared legal action regarding its access to Treasury payment systems. Netanyahu praised Trump's Gaza proposal as "the first original idea," while three NATO members announced plans to disconnect from Russia's electricity grid.
