Cutting the Federal Workforce

Trump and DOGE shrunk the government and did so without seriously disrupting anyone's life or livelihood.
President Donald Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) efforts to reduce the federal government's workforce were seemingly reflected in recently released data from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM).
The OPM's data shows that the government's civilian workforce shrank by 12% between September 2024 and January 2026, going from a headcount of 2,313,216 to 2,035,344.
Separate data, also released by the OPM, shows that the majority of employees who left during that time did so voluntarily rather than being forced out, Reuters reported. The outlet also noted that administrative staff, customer service representatives and IT managers were at the top of the list of positions that left once Trump returned to office.
Granted, that is just spitting in the ocean, but it was a great start. Hopefully he'll shrink it by over fifty percent by the time he leaves office.
I wish Musk would have stayed on for the fight; he was the driving force behind DOGE and thus behind the whold thing.
