Trump Extends Federal Hiring Freeze Until October

[Swordsmyth]

President Donald Trump issued a memorandum on July 7 extending the federal hiring freeze until Oct. 15, while maintaining exemptions for positions related to the armed forces and public safety.

Trump initially imposed a hiring freeze in January, at the start of his second term. It was later extended through July 15.

The president has now ordered another extension as part of an effort to improve the efficiency of federal agencies.

As Aldgra Fredly reports for The Epoch Times, in the recent memo, Trump stated that “no federal civilian position that is presently vacant may be filled, and no new position may be created,” except for roles that are exempted or required by law.

Federal agencies are prohibited from “contracting outside the federal government to circumvent the intent of this memorandum,” while heads of agencies “shall seek efficient use of existing personnel and funds to improve public services and the delivery of those services,” the order stated.

The hiring freeze does not apply to military personnel or positions related to immigration enforcement, national security, and public safety.

It also exempted positions in the executive office of the president.

These are the government machinery jobs that have been given away using a lottery system and DEI.

We definitely need people to do the government work but in the last 12 years our system has been hijacked by a color revolution.

No, we don't. We do not. No way. Artificial Stupidity Software, the quality of American education has dropped like a stone since the ED was created and no one needs that.

You don't understand that because a housecat has more sense than you.

The floods had nothing to do with Trump, you're repeating Demoncrat lies.

I'm not sure if that's true or not. I am also suspicious of the "need" to renew and change the system because they might have ulterior motives for changing the system, just like with air traffic control.

You know the Trump cuts are heavy cuts. NOAA and NWS were among the many cuts. Also, cutting FEMA is what I had in mind about it coming back to bite him in the ass.

The San Antonio office was missing a warning coordination meteorologist, a role that works with officials to send emergency alerts, after the office’s 32-year veteran meteorologist took an early retirement offer earlier this year as part of the Trump administration’s move to downsize the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, local station KXAN reported.
The National Weather Service, however, issued alerts of increasing severity ahead of the flash flood, which included an overnight text alert warning of a "dangerous and life-threatening situation."
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem praised the NWS, but said President Donald Trump wanted to improve the NWS’ warning system, telling reporters at a press conference “we needed to renew this ancient system that has been left in place with the federal government for many, many years.”

Blame Cast After Texas Floods: Were Warnings Too Late Or Too Weak?

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said blaming the Trump administration’s cuts for exacerbating the disaster was a “despicable lie.”

Just the usual MSM making mountains out of molehills.
Not only did the NWS issue alerts without the probably useless missing bureaucrat, but there is no evidence Trump had anything to do with the lack of the bureaucrat.

Bunk, if he was downsized the position would be gone not empty.

Ahem. He'd be missing either way, wouldn't he?

You really, really suck at semantic games.

The position being vacant had nothing to do with Trump, don't play stupid.

And the position being vacant had no effect, the warnings went out and the locals ignored them.

 

[acptulsa]

don't play stupid

Absolutely not.

That's your job.
