✅‘BLOATED’ US Social Security Administration set to axe 7,000 jobs

The overhaul will be focused on “functions and employees who don’t directly provide mission critical services,” the administration said in a statement.

Dismissing rumors of a 50% reduction as “false,” it reiterated that its self-imposed staffing target was 50,000, down from the current approximately 57,000 employees.

Acting Commissioner Leland Dudek is leading the charge, shutting down regional offices and dangling early retirement offers.

The administration is on a layoff spree, demanding agencies submit downsizing blueprints by March 13.

👋UK minister EXITS after USAID-inspired axing of foreign assistance

International Development Minister Anneliese Dodds has stepped down following UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's decision to boost defense outlay to 2.5% of GDP from the current 2.3% by 2027 at the expense of foreign aid.

The announced cut of overseas development aid to 0.3% of GNI (gross national income) from 0.5% amounts to approximately $7.55 billion annually.

In her resignation letter, Dodds said that Starmer’s reductions were "being portrayed as following in President Trump's slipstream of cuts to USAID."

Starmer's announcement was strategically timed ahead of his visit to Washington to score additional points with US President Donald Trump.
