Nearly 1 in 5 federal workers left under Trump. Black workers took the biggest hit.

"More than half of the DOGE firing targets were Black" www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

"The cuts were partially offset by new hiring and the reinstatement of some workers. Overall, the portion of the federal workforce that is Black has dropped substantially since Trump’s second administration began, The Post found."

There's no longer any disguising the fact that Trump has specifically targeted Black federal employees in his layoffs. Pure racism. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

Exclusive: President Trump has overseen the departure of about 1 in every 5 government workers since the start of his second term, a faster and deeper overhaul than under any recent predecessor, a Post analysis found.

Almost like this was the plan all along!

"Over Trump’s first 18 months in office, 426,000 full-time, civilian workers left federal service," @washingtonpost.com reports. "That is equivalent to nearly one-fifth of the workforce, which totaled almost 2.2 million at the start of Trump’s second term." www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

Nearly 1 in 5 federal workers left under Trump. Black workers took the biggest hit. A Washington Post analysis shows that President Donald Trump has succeeded in reshaping the federal bureaucracy, with the largest impact on Black workers. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

President Trump oversaw the departure of about 1/5 of gov't workers, a faster and deeper overhaul than any recent predecessor, a WaPo analysis found. By some metrics, Black people were hit hardest. @abtran.bsky.social @hannahnatanson.bsky.social reports www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

Far Right obsession with gutting federal agencies is never about cutting costs, reducing deficits, or making government less bureaucratic. it's always been about forcing out all the minority employees who get hired into the public sector where EEOC laws matter. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

This is the destruction of the federal government, and the ability of it to help people, in real time. It is going to take a lot of work and time to build it back up. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/... Nearly 1 in 5 federal workers left under Trump. Black workers took the biggest hit.
