NOAA for sure. Read project 2025.

EPA is huge--who is at risk? OIG?

I'm not a Trumper, but the federal government has a lot of dead weight in personnel. There's no way that Trump can clear all the dead weight, but hopefully, with Elon's help, Trump can remove most of the underperformers.

Not a Trumper either but there IS dead weight and has been for years. Have had friends come in as political appointees (Dems, mind you) and be frustrated beyond belief by the clearly incompetent and unmotivated. I don't want a patronage system of nothing but political hacks, but would like to see the ability to fire the underperforming greatly streamlined. Along with requiring the feds to go back to work. It is obscene to me that you can sit in your PJs at home getting paid and only have to show up at the office once every two weeks.

Do you think that the federal government is willing to lease enough office space to bring all of the employees back in? They seem to be going in the opposite direction at my agency.

Obviously risky agencies/departments: Interior, EPA, FDA, CDC, Education, Labor, HUD

Maybe OK: state, commerce, DOJ civil rights

Probably OK: most doj components (antitrust, consumer protection, USAOs, most criminal components, all LE agencies except FBI), DHS, DOD, energy

I would imagine that they will try and move more parts of USDA. It was easy the first time around.

Dhs and state will not be ok.

You may not like policy changes that are coming, but non-political employees of those departments will have jobs and those jobs will remain in DC.

So bizarre to me that you care what I’m wearing as I put in 70 hours a week and get paid for 40.

Also probably OK, Treasury (except maybe cuts at IRS).
