Employees at the Department of Transportation are bracing for layoffs, as part of the Trump administration’s effort to cut the federal workforce.

During a town hall meeting last week, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy informed DOT employees that the layoffs — referred to as reduction in force, or RIF — are expected soon, DOT officials confirm to CBS News.

An employee attending the town hall said Duffy did not offer specifics about which agencies or employees would be affected. The Department of Transportation said the final number of cuts would depend on how many employees first take a buyout offer. 

The cuts could happen as soon as the end of the month.  

Never mind all the recent aviation incidents and the Newark airport meltdown!

Up yours, Musk! Take your money and shove it!

You and your corrupt cronies flushed $81,000,000 down Wisconsin sewers, and you still don’t own a judge on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

Wisconsin voters have a lot more brains and integrity than you give them credit for, certainly a lot more than you have.

Susan Crawford, who was endorsed by the Democratic Party, won the closely-watched Wisconsin Supreme Court race Tuesday night in what was the most expensive judicial election in American history. 

What would have normally been a sleepy nonpartisan judicial race turned into an expensive battle between Crawford, a Dane County judge, and Waukesha County Judge Brad Schimel, who was endorsed by the Republican Party. The campaigns and their supporters have spent more than $81 million, attracting endorsements and campaign appearances from Elon Musk, Vermont Democratic Sen. Bernie Sanders and other national political figures.

With 70% of the vote in, Crawford led Schimel by 55% to 44%, a margin of about 189,000 votes.
