>The swamp is being drained once again. The Trump administration has sent shockwaves through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by notifying over 1,000 employees that they are on the chopping block, marking a decisive step in dismantling bloated government agencies notorious for regulatory overreach. >EPA employees who have been with the agency for less than a year received an email last week notifying them that they could be dismissed immediately, according to NBC News citing sources familiar with the matter. >These employees, who are still on their “probationary” status, were bluntly informed that their tenure could end without delay at the administration’s discretion. >“As a probationary/ trial period employee, the agency has the right to immediately terminate you,” the email reads. “The process for probationary removal is that you receive a notice of termination, and your employment is ended immediately.” >The notification—rightly seen as a warning shot against entrenched bureaucrats—comes as part of President Trump’s broader push to slash wasteful federal agencies, restore accountability, and put American taxpayers first. . .
