Today on AirTalk, from long lines to locked bathrooms, Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, run by billionaire Elon Musk, sends national parks and other federal-run agencies into chaos after a huge round of layoffs.
Elon Musk, urged by President Donald Trump to "be more aggressive" in driving a reduction in federal employment, has told National Park Service workers to justify their positions in weekly emails or resign.
Federal workers across several agencies are losing their jobs at a breakneck pace. In Montana, Wyoming and Idaho — across Greater Yellowstone and beyond — employees with the U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service and more are concerned their positions may be on the chopping block. The layoffs are coming fast from the Trump administration at the direction of its Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, led by billionaire and Tesla founder Elon Musk.
