00:00Trump lays off 400 at the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

00:04Over 400 pink slips just went out at the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

00:09Another major layoff wave during the shutdown,

00:12and the shrieking from the usual suspects hasn't even hit full volume yet.

00:15But let's be clear, this isn't random.

00:18No, the axe fell right where the ideological rot had been festering the longest.

00:23HUD's Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity.

00:27Systemic racism, transgender inclusion, environmental justice,

00:31and a magical theory that zoning laws were the second coming of Jim Crow.

00:35That's the one Trump's HUD is now, quite pointedly, cleaning out.

00:39And if you think this is just red meat for the base, think again.

00:42This is a direct assault on the bureaucratic machine

00:45that's been quietly reshaping the country behind the scenes.

00:49You see, this office ballooned to nearly 600 employees under Biden,

00:52thanks to a 20% budget boost.

00:56No better support for legitimate discrimination victims.

01:18This isn't just about trimming some bloated offices.

01:20The Trump administration issued more than 4,000 reduction in force notices on Friday,

01:26per Spectrum News DC.

01:28And don't think HUD is alone.

01:30Trump is focused on the activist corners of government

01:32that turned public service into political theater.

01:35It's a bureaucratic reckoning.
