March was the third highest month for layoffs in American history.

More than 275,000 layoffs were announced last month, reaching a level not seen since the pandemic, according to a new report published Thursday.

The biggest culprit was one particular employer: The federal government.

The federal government announced plans to axe 216,215 jobs, accounting for nearly 80% of the 275,240 layoffs announcements made by US employers in March, according to Challenger Gray & Christmas’ latest report. It’s the third-highest monthly total behind April 2020 (671,129) and May 2020 (397,016).

The Department of Government Efficiency has run roughshod on the federal government, slashing funding, scrapping contracts and laying off droves of federal workers.

1. "We did that." - G.O.P.

2. DEI did not do that. CRT did not do that. LGBTQ did not do that.

Woke did not do that.

A white guy did that. And now more pain will come because a white guy decides on tariffs because he likes a white guy named McKinley.

Before anyone gets pissed at me for calling out a white guy just telling the truth.
