MN is 80% understaffed vs normal number of AUSAs?!?
BREAKING: 8 more U.S. Attorneys in MN resign from Trump’s DOJ in protest as backlash grows.
This isn’t normal; isn’t routine reshuffling. It’s a rebellion.
Last month, 6 veteran prosecutors quit in protest. Normal staffing for the MN DOJ’s office is around 50 attorneys. They’re down to just 9.

Duffy: "To cast blame on this administration for the policy failures of the last four years and say it's our fault is outrageous, but it's rich. So I want to talk quickly about the FAA. It's true that less than 400 people were laid off at the FAA."

corrupt, but also staggeringly incompetent and catastrophically understaffed when it comes to planning and administrative capacity
One of my firm beliefs about ICE's $79B budget is that the organization is so corrupt it'll grift and graft it's way through that pile of dough so fast it'll make heads spin.
$92 million for porta-potties? Big spending at Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz.”

DoJ understaffed is going to be a huyuuuuge problem for Trump I think

These years of anti-immigration hysteria we're living through right now are going to look utterly incomprehensible in the coming era of closing schools, ageing populations and massively understaffed public services
Wow. The Department for Education has just published new projections which estimate that the number of pupils in state-funded schools in England will plummet by more than 9% by 2031 amid falling birth rates
And yet this issue receives probably 1,000th of the coverage the immigration debate receives

They were reportedly understaffed in the air traffic control tower at the time of the American Airlines and Black Hawk helicopter crash according to the FAA report.
A reminder that Donald Trump put a hiring freeze on air traffic control personnel, and the FAA is already chronically understaffed.
