“The federal government’s personnel and budget offices issued a memo to the leaders of all executive branch agencies on Wednesday directing them to submit ‘reorganization plans’ within two weeks and prepare for large-scale firings. In the memo, the heads of the Office of Management and Budget and the Office of Personnel Management asked agencies to submit these plans by March 13 and to prepare for ‘reductions in force.’ … The memo outlined some exclusions, including positions ‘necessary to meet law enforcement, border security, national security, immigration enforcement, or public safety responsibilities;’ military personnel; officials who were appointed by President Trump or confirmed by the Senate; the executive office of the president and the U.S. postal service.” (02/26/25)
