Trump Grants Cabinet Full Authority as DOGE Slashes 100,000 Jobs

U.S. President Donald Trump has told his cabinet members they have the final say on staffing and policy decisions within their agencies, reinforcing his push for streamlined governance. Meanwhile, in a major cost-cutting move, Elon Musk-led DOGE has laid off over 100,000 employees within weeks.

The drastic job cuts signal a significant restructuring effort, though details on the impact remain unclear. Trump’s directive gives agency heads greater autonomy as his administration seeks efficiency and budget reductions.
