Federal department cafeteria empty for years under Biden
The cafeteria in a top federal department resembles a ghost town after remaining empty and closed for years under the Biden administration.
"You have federal workers showing up to protest President Trump’s plan to make government work for the people on a federal holiday, but they refuse to show up to work when they are collecting a paycheck courtesy of American taxpayers. It’s just nuts," a source close to the situation told Fox News Digital.
The Department of Interior (DOI) cafeteria was initially closed during the coronavirus pandemic, but the lunchroom remained shut down for several years because the Biden administration did not require federal employees to work in person.
A photo taken on Feb. 20, 2025, reveals that five years after the pandemic, the lunchroom remains empty and unmanned, which "shows you exactly what’s wrong with the mindset of far too many federal workers."
"It’s understandable that the cafeteria would close during the pandemic, but the pandemic has been over for years," the source told Fox. "Why did the Biden administration let everyone continue to work from home when there is real work to be done for the country?"
Fox News Digital also recently found that the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) headquarters in Washington, D.C., was left relatively untouched since the first Trump administration, with an official saying it felt like a "taxpayer-funded ‘Spirit Halloween'" store.
