The Trump Federal hiring freeze

 DC Daily Journal:

...

The Department of Justice is pulling back job offers for the prestigious Attorney General’s Honors Program due to President Donald Trump’s federal hiring freeze, according to a recent report.

Established in 1953, the Honors Program is renowned for attracting top-tier law graduates from elite institutions like Harvard, Duke, Georgetown, Stanford, and the University of Virginia. The program has long served as a critical pipeline for recruiting exceptional legal talent into public service.

However, those who had been selected for the highly competitive program were informed their offers were being rescinded, multiple sources told The Washington Post.

An email from the Department’s Office of Attorney Recruitment and Management delivered the unwelcome news to affected candidates on Wednesday.

“Pursuant to the hiring freeze announced Jan. 20, 2025, your job offer has been revoked,” the email stated, according to a copy obtained by the Post.

The program typically hires over 100 lawyers annually, with participants assigned to key divisions such as antitrust, national security, and criminal law.
...

This may be a program to deal with the federal deficit which has been out of hand for years.  Trump is a businessman may who has experience with trimming employees in order to manage deficits.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
