Treasury, GSA partner to reward fed employees who ID wasteful contract spending
September 14, 2025The Trump administration is “tracking…very closely” social media posts suggesting Kirk should not be mourned, some agencies say.
Federal employees are facing warnings from agency leaders to refrain from criticizing or mocking Charlie Kirk, the conservative influencer who was assassinated this week.
In some cases, employees have already been disciplined. The Homeland Security Department has already taken action against at least three staffers: a Federal Emergency Management Agency employee was placed on administrative leave, Fox News reported, after he posted on Instagram that President Trump had ordered flags at half staff “for the literal racist homophobe misogynist.”
“This employee’s words are revolting and unconscionable,” a FEMA spokesperson said. “He was immediately placed on administrative leave. Celebrating the death of a fellow American is appalling, unacceptable and sickening.”
The U.S. Coast Guard said on Thursday one of its employees posted on their personal social media a note regarding Kirk that was “contrary to our core values” and vowed to “take appropriate action and hold the individual accountable.” The Secret Service also placed an employee on leave for saying anyone mourning Kirk should “delete” them because Kirk “spewed hate and racism,” according to The New York Post.
