10.10.2025 โ‡ข The Day Federal Worker Layoffs Began
โŒจUS media on October 10th initially focused on the Israel-Gaza ceasefire taking effect, with reports of US troops deployed to monitor it and the Israeli government approving the first phase of the deal. Early afternoon saw a shift to the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Venezuela's Marรญa Corina Machado, with several outlets noting President Trump did not receive the prize despite his administration's role in the Gaza deal. Later in the day, the focus pivoted dramatically to the government shutdown, with reports that "substantial" federal worker layoffs had begun, confirmed by the White House and OMB. Concurrently, President Trump announced new 100% tariffs on China, effective November 1st, and threatened to cancel a meeting with Xi, in retaliation for China's rare earth export restrictions.
