  • U.S. agencies under new President Donald Trump were pushing to implement his mandates to reshape the federal bureaucracy on Thursday, encouraging workers to report any clandestine efforts to maintain diversity programs and preparing to close offices dedicated to such efforts by next week.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's recent attack on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs within federal agencies, labeling them as part of an unnecessary bureaucracy. Trump's comments have caused a stir among U.S. government agencies, prompting them to reassess their DEI initiatives. His critique focuses on what he perceives as wasteful spending and an overemphasis on identity politics, which he believes detracts from merit-based systems. This has led to internal reviews and potential policy shifts as agencies scramble to align with or defend against Trump's criticisms, reflecting broader political tensions over the role of diversity programs in government operations.
