President Donald Trump's administration says federal agencies should begin planning to eliminate employee positions. The process is known as a reduction in force.

The newly released requirements for agencies to move forward with mass cuts to the federal work force have employees even more on edge.

Trump's executive order that he signed with DOGE head Elon Musk specifically states agency leaders "shall promptly undertake preparations to initiate large-scale reductions in force,” or RIF. Some departments have already begun the process.

A new executive order from President Donald Trump to strengthen DOGE has placed a 30-day freeze on all government issued credit cards.

The Trump administration continued to face setbacks in court this week over its efforts to drastically downsize the size of the government, while plaintiffs in some of the cases accused the government of trying to sidestep judicial orders.

The disastrous consequences of the Supreme Court’s immunity decision in Trump v. United States may only just now be fully coming to light.

The Trump administration advanced its large-scale federal workforce downsizing, issuing guidance for agency layoffs and reorganizations. A memo from the Office of Management and Budget and the Office of Personnel Management directed agencies to conduct force reductions.

The executive order puts independent federal agencies under the watch of Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought, architect of the conservative blueprint.

The President has signed an executive order which requires independent agencies to consult with the White House on priorities and performance standards.

Republicans are already worried that their aggressive policy agenda could bite them come midterms.

Trump claims he has the executive power to dismantle agencies and fire thousands of workers. Will court fights redefine his relations with Congress?
