Federal workers across multiple agencies report significant disruptions in basic government functions due to workforce cuts and spending restrictions implemented under President Donald Trump’s administration. The changes have affected key organizations, including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Energy (DOE), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and several others.
More than 1,300 EPA employees have departed through deferred resignation offers, while DOE lost over 3,500 staff members. These workforce reductions come as Trump faces significant challenges with his other major policy initiatives. NOAA saw a reduction of more than 1,000 employees, representing approximately 10 percent of its workforce. The Interior Department’s Bureau of Reclamation has lost a quarter of its staff.
