Hmmmmm?
Trump’s people cut by 1/3 while OMB Boss Vought, who has been running his mouth with layoff threats protects most of HIS and Musk’s people …
He says their funding is separate????.
The Trump administration is sparing DOGE and much of the Office of Management and Budget amid a government shutdown that has furloughed tens of thousands of government workers across the country.
A third of White House staff will be sent home during the shutdown, according to a contingency plan posted online Thursday.
The plan, dated Sept. 30, shows that 554 of the Executive Office of the President’s 1,733 staff will be furloughed, while 1,179 employees would stay on the job as Congress remains at an impasse over a spending plan.
Those retained at the White House are considered “excepted” because they perform emergency functions, are presidentially appointed, are Senate confirmed staff or are otherwise exempt from furlough under federal law.
The document indicates that 119 people, including all 45 DOGE officials and 49 OMB staff, are exempt from the shutdown because their compensation comes from a source other than annual appropriations.
A breakdown of the furloughs reveals sharp differences across agencies within the White House complex.
OMB, which is led by Russ Vought — the Project 2025 architect who has played a major role in the administration’s response to the shutdown —- will keep 437 of its 530 employees….
….
DOGE, which gained notoriety in the early days of the second Trump administration for imposing wholesale cutbacks on the federal workforce, is one of the few offices in the Executive Office of the President untouched by the shutdown….
