In a statement, #KellyLoeffler said, "As the government's largest guarantor of business loans, the #SBA stands ready to deploy its resources & expertise on behalf of America's #taxpayers & #students."

But those resources are about to take a big hit as well, as the SBA also announced on Friday that it plans to cut its workforce by more than 40%.

Appearing in the Oval w/ #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth, #Trump said,“I've decided that the #SBA, the Small Business Administration, headed by #KellyLoeffler, a terrific person, will handle all of the student loan portfolio. We have a portfolio that's very large,"Trump said.

[recall #KellyLoeffler was embroiled in an #InsiderTrading investigation during #COVID after Trump repeatedly downplayed the #pandemic she & other #Republicans invested in #PPE that was in high demand after it spread unchecked]

I don't really have much to say about this one. I am just confused.

WHAT DOES THE SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION have to do with student loans and education?

It takes a lot to make someone with #tourettes speechless...

Guess I'll just fling my arms around, snap a bunch and scream instead.

Small Business Administration cutting 43% of staff

Oh, yeah, this is great. Cut your staff in half at the same time that felon Trump proposes having the #SBA take on student loan processing. I guess in the addled mind of felon Trump & the oligarchs, this makes sense.

Isn’t this that wonkey eyed woman who did insider trading?

Also I don’t know what’s going on with the Tennessee Star this morning, I just read the most ridiculous story that tries to definitively state that long Covid is caused by masks . . . wearing a mask causes the long Covid symptoms. Wtf lol

This is purely anecdotal but I spent days in a hospital (twice) in a respirator mask and my oxygen level was 99 to 100% the whole time. And I don’t have long Covid because I’ve never caught Covid, and I’ve been wearing respirator masks everywhere in public for almost five years now.

This #censorship is not surprising from #Musk, but we all need to reach out and encourage folks to join us on #mastodon. We need people to communicate securely about their experiences with mass government firings, security breaches, and total loss or privacy with the capture of all our financial data across multiple agencies #Treasury #IRS #socialsecurity #SBA. So many people need assistance now. Our role should be as #helpers. disruptionist.com/p/elon-musks #signal #secure #messaging #DM

"The Agency finds that you are not fit for continued employment because your ability, knowledge & skills do not fit the current needs, & your performance has not been adequate to justify further employment with the Agency," letters sent to at least 45 probationers at the #SBA stated.

Reuters has seen a copy of the termination letter.

Letters to at least 160 recent hires at the #Education Dept, told them that their continued employment "would not be in the public interest."

Mass firings at multiple US #FederalAgencies have begun as #Trump & #ElonMusk accelerate their purge of America's govt bureaucracy, #union sources & employees familiar w/the layoffs told Reuters Thurs.

Termination emails have been sent in the past 48hrs to scores of #GovernmentWorkers at the #Education Dept, the #SmallBusiness Administration (#SBA), the #Consumer #Financial Protection Bureau (#CFPB), & the General Services Admin (#GSA).

"The SBA sent employees a letter saying that they'd been fired.

Then it sent them an email saying that the email was a mistake.

Then it sent some of them another email saying actually they were fired."
-J Weisenthal

Musk/Trump couldn't offer specifics to back up their claims that #DOGE had, as Trump put it, uncovered “billions$ in waste, fraud & abuse.”

#TrumpMusk draconian cuts: harm the #economy & Americans. Goal: destroy the fed govt, pleasing Putin/Xi.
