A member of Donald Trump's administration has upset federal workers with an email sent out to nearly 100,000 staff members, an insider has claimed.

Brooke Rollins, the Department of Agriculture secretary, sent an email to employees celebrating Easter. The email, seen by The Washington Post, starts, "Happy Easter - He is Risen indeed! Today we celebrate the greatest story ever told, the foundation of our faith, and the abiding hope of all mankind.

"From the foot of the Cross on Good Friday to the stone rolled away from the now empty tomb, sin has been destroyed. Jesus has been raised from the dead. And God has granted each of us victory and new life. And where there is life — risen life — there is hope.”...

Some employees with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission feared that being given a day off was part of a Department of Government Efficiency plot to terminate their employment, according to Politico.

The jittery response came after EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas sent an email telling non-emergency employees they did not have to come in to work on April 18, which they later realized was the Christian observance of Good Friday, which comes before Easter Sunday.

Anonymous sources told reporter Nick Niedzwiadek that some employees felt certain the gesture "was a prelude to reduction-in-force notices or other major changes" — just like what happened when Elon Musk's DOGE slashed the Department of Education and USAID. ...

Trump along with major Republican figures and even MAGA social media influencers joined together just before Easter to condemn Joe Biden's White House for purportedly making "Trans visibility day" the same day as Easter.

Donald Trump is distinguishing himself from his opponents once again. In this case, it's his Easter messages that stand out to those on social media.

This is in sharp contrast to the current president, Joe Biden, and people online were eager to point that out....

Donald Trump spent his easter raging against his enemies on his own social media platform, Truth Social, spurring glee on the internet.

Trump, who literally directed one "happy Easter" post to those he "despises" such as "corrupt" prosecutors and judges in his criminal cases, wrote dozens of posts earlier in the day. One report on Sunday stated that the ex-president spent "Easter Morning on a Social Media Bender — With Whopping 43 POSTS About Judge Engoron, Jon Stewart and More."

Political onlookers were also quick to point out the spree on social media....

Donald Trump just shared an article comparing himself to Jesus, one day before Easter celebrations.

Trump, who has long been accused of narcissism that equates to blasphemy for some Christians, on Saturday posted an article to his Truth Social platform that makes the religious comparison. Truth Social is the ex-president's social media company, which recently went public but is expected by some experts to tank.
