Vought: Mass firings will begin in a day or two
The Trump administration has threatened to inflict maximum pain on Democrats during the shutdown.

OMB chief Russ Vought told House Republicans on a private call Wednesday that the administration will start mass reduction in force moves, or firings, of federal workers in a day or two, according to four people granted anonymity to describe the call.
Vought and President Donald Trump have both threatened to inflict maximum pain on Democrats during the shutdown as Senate Republicans hope to peel off additional Democrats in the coming days to vote for the GOP-led stopgap to end the standoff. A bipartisan group of senators also discussed several early off-ramp ideas on the floor earlier Wednesday.
Hill GOP leaders have been wary of embracing Trumps promises to slash federal workers and benefits during the shutdown, especially given the blowback some Republicans in competitive districts will face.
Snip...
Overall, Vought didnt provide a lot of details for House Republicans during the call. He was surprisingly vague on everything, said another person with direct knowledge of it.
Also on Wednesday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters at a briefing that the federal layoffs would happen very soon. Democrats, she claimed, are forcing the administrations hand and are at fault for the upcoming upheaval.

These creatures are pure sociopaths who are where they are because of the proximity to great power and wealth, and the opportunity to inflict their sickest desires on others who they believe are beneath them.

The story was reported by The Washington Post in 2016 during their investigation for the biography Trump Revealed. Author Maggie Haberman later included the incident in her 2022 book, Confidence Man.
