The IRS is reportedly drafting plans to fire as much as half of its workforce through a mix of layoffs, attrition, and incentivized buyouts, two leakers told the Associated Press. According to the report, the layoffs are part of the Trump administration's efforts to shrink the size of the federal workforce through billionaire Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency by closing agencies, laying off nearly all probationary employees who have not yet gained civil service protection, and offering buyouts to almost all federal employees through a deferred resignation program. To quickly reduce the government workforce, according to former IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, a reduction of tens of thousands of employees would render the agency dysfunctional. I'm afraid they're dysfunctional already. The Associated Press would also like us to know that the IRS cuts would be both racist and sexist. As quote, people of color make up over 56% of the IRS workforce and women represent over 65% of the workforce. In February, roughly 7,000 IRS employees with less than one year of service were racially and sexistly laid off from the organization while the rest of the agency was offered deferred resignation program buyouts. Employees involved processing the 2025 tax season, however, told earlier this month that they would not be able to accept the offer. Meanwhile, the IRS has deputized pistol-packing IRS-CI agents, and they're being loaned out to the Department of Homeland Security to help assist with immigration enforcement, after DHS Secretary Kristi Noem asked the Treasury Secretary Scott Besant. to borrow them. Imagine you thought you were going in to harass hardworking Americans from your bureaucratic position, and now you've got to storm into dangerous buildings in the hope you don't catch a bullet. Let me just say one thing. Ha ha! Please share, subscribe, and always remember, anything's possible in the bizarre world, even laying off 45,000 IRS agents.
