At least 24,000 probationary workers have been terminated since President Donald Trump took office, according to a lawsuit filed by nearly 20 states alleging the mass firings are illegal. Meanwhile, about 75,000 federal workers accepted the offer to quit in return for receiving pay and benefits until September 30.

The New York Times reports that Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, appointed by Donald Trump in his first term and an advocate for privatizing the U.S. Postal Service, has made a deal with DOGE to assist in “identifying and achieving further efficiencies.”
