"220,000 Fewer Workers: How Trump’s Cuts Affected Every Federal Agency."
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/01/09/upshot/trump-workforce-cuts-table.html

Eye-opening, stomach-turning table of the staff cuts to 500+ federal agencies, Nov 2024 - Nov 2025. Plus a search engine to find the cuts for a given agency. Some examples:

#NASA, down 6%
#NIH, down 18%
#HHS, down 18%
#NOAA, down 20%
#CDC, down 22%
#OSTP, down 26%
#NSF, down 29%
#NEA, down 34%
#IMLS, down 59%
#NEH, down 73%

@petersuber Millions are going without services they need and hundreds of thousands have died because of USAID. Top it off with a lot of these people are going to run out of unemployment and have to go on welfare. Even with unemployment they have to go to Food banks. That’s only a small percentage of their earnings. Let’s not forget that was our tax dollars appropriated by our representatives. Where is it now? Great job Donnie and the muskrat. #uspol
