"The Trump administration has cut more than 4,000 employees from some of the nation’s top law-enforcement agencies, even as it vowed to crack down on crime, according to records obtained by Reuters.

The records, from the U.S. Justice Department’s management unit, show that the total number of employees at the FBI has dropped more than 7% since the government’s ‌2024 fiscal year, a loss of about 2,600 people. The Drug Enforcement Administration’s staff has dropped by about 6%, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives lost about 14% of its workers.

Other parts of the Justice Department shrank even more rapidly. Its National Security Division, which handles intelligence and terrorism matters, lost nearly 38% of its staff, the department’s records show. The division’s most recent budget request to Congress noted “unprecedented personnel constraints” in the unit that handles cases involving espionage and the export of sensitive military technology.

"It’s the difference between being proactive and entrepreneurial or purely reactive to the most obvious imperative of the day," Adam Hickey, a former senior official in the National Security Division, said of the loss of staff."

Genau so ist es, @Retepkce

Schon am 3. März 2026 zitierte mich die Stuttgarter Zeitung zum Angriff Israels und der USA auf das fossile Revolutionsgarden-Regime des Iran:

Blume begrüßt zwar, dass die Mullahs in Bedrängnis sind. „Das iranische Regime hat erst im Januar Abertausende Protestierende ermordet und sollte gestürzt werden.“ Er warnt aber auch vor der Planlosigkeit der Angreifer Israel und USA: „Gleichwohl kennt die Politikwissenschaft keinen Fall, in dem ein antisemitisch beherrschter Fossilstaat ohne Bodentruppen zur Demokratie gebombt werden konnte.“

"After more than five weeks of fighting, the 14 days of fragile ceasefire between the US, Israel and Iran have given residents of Tehran the chance to take stock of the damage. The city of 9 million people is scarred by debris, rubble and bombed-out high-rises.

President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he was extending a ceasefire with Iran indefinitely a day before it was set to expire, even as plans for a fresh round of talks fell apart. The two sides remain far apart on key issues, including Iran’s nuclear program, its grip on the Strait of Hormuz and support for militant groups in the Middle East.

Even if the peace holds and a lasting solution is found, at least 3,300 Iranians, including civilians and members of the military, have been killed across the country, and the damage that’s already been done is substantial.

Iranian curbs on photography and internet access as well as US restrictions on high resolution satellite imagery have hampered visual damage assessment. But a study by Conflict Ecology researchers at Oregon State University, which draws on radar imagery, estimates conservatively that at least 7,645 buildings were damaged or destroyed across the country — including 60 education and 12 health facilities — between the beginning of hostilities on Feb. 28 and the start of the truce on April 8.

Bloomberg News analyzed land use within damage clusters in Tehran, and found that 2,816 buildings were hit, around 32% of which were linked to the military, 25% to industry, 21% to civilians, while 19% were commercial and 2% governmental."
