Project 2025 Purge - Public Sector ‘Firing Spree & Massive Service Cuts Loom’

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) - Fouled up weather forecasts.  Staff shortages slowing services.  More Workers dying of heat stroke on the job.  More pollution, which leads to more asthma and unclean water.  Cut down school lunches, with none in the Summer.  Veterans not getting VA health care.  More hate crimes.  Weaker Labor Laws and enforcement.

Those are just some practical impacts of Republican President-elect Donald Trump’s planned cuts.

The data comes from the GOP platform, also known as Project 2025, plus the Nation’s largest Federal Workers Union - the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), and the co-chairs of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency - billionaire Elon Musk and so-called entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy.

“From dismantling Union contracts to targeting agency missions, AFGE and Federal Workers suffered tremendously during the first Trump Administration,” the union said in a statement in response to a People’s World request. “A second Trump Administration will bring back these same attacks and more on our Union, our rights and our ability to serve the American People.”

“We’ve faced challenges like this before and we know what’s at stake.  We know what’s coming and we’re ready,” AFGE President Everett Kelley said. “This time, we’ll be even more prepared (for Trump’s onslaught, but) “the American People should brace themselves for cuts to their benefits and services if President-elect Trump implements his anti-families policies.”
