The Office of Personnel Management, the agency that manages the federal work force, also said that <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/12\/us\/politics\/trump-federal-workers-buyout.html\" title=\"\">about 75,000 workers<\/a> had accepted deferred resignation offers to quit their jobs in exchange for <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/28\/us\/politics\/trump-buyouts-federal-workers.html?smid=url-share\" title=\"\">seven months of pay and benefits<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/elon-musk\/401274\/musk-doge-polls-republicans-trump\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Several recent polls show<\/a> more Americans disapprove of Mr. Musk\u2019s efforts to cut the federal work force than approved, and Republican House members have been met with raucous opposition at <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/23\/us\/politics\/republicans-congress-town-halls-trump.html\" title=\"\">town halls<\/a>. At his first cabinet meeting, Mr. Trump made clear he fully backed Mr. Musk, asking, \u201cIs anybody unhappy with Elon?\u201d As nervous laughter began to ripple around the room, he continued: \u201cIf you are, we\u2019ll throw him out of here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Russell T. Vought, the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/06\/us\/politics\/russell-vought-omb-senate-vote.html\" title=\"\">head of the White House budget office<\/a>, and Charles Ezell, the acting head of the Office of Personnel Management, circulated a memo to government leaders calling for agencies to prepare plans for additional \u201clarge-scale reductions\u201d in the federal work force in March and April.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Denigrating the federal bureaucracy as \u201cbloated\u201d and \u201ccorrupt,\u201d the seven-page memo called for agencies to be drastically cut \u2014 in some instances to the fullest extent allowed by the law. One line in the memo said agencies \u201cshould focus on the maximum elimination of functions that are not statutorily mandated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The memo said that plans for the next stage of the cuts should be submitted by March 13. Plans for \u201cphase 2\u201d of the cuts should be submitted by April 14.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In addition to the layoffs, the memo also suggested that possible \u201cproposed relocations of agency bureaus and offices from Washington\u201d could occur, indicating that some agencies based in or near the nation\u2019s capital may be moved \u201cto less-costly parts of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It is unclear which agencies may be targeted for relocations. In his cabinet meeting earlier on Wednesday, President Trump suggested that the Education Department \u2014 which he has previously said <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/06\/22\/us\/politics\/trump-faith-and-freedom-evangelical-martyr.html\" title=\"\">should be shut down entirely<\/a> \u2014 was one agency that could be relocated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cYou go around Washington, you see all these buildings, the Department of Education,\u201d Mr. Trump said. \u201cWe want to move education back to the states where it belongs.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The memo also outlined a few exceptions to the sweeping plans for layoffs, saying that the Postal Service, military service members and positions related to national security, border security, immigration or public safety would be exempt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Implementation of the cuts would be left to agency leaders, the memo said, while adding that they \u201cshould collaborate with their DOGE team leads.\u201d Members of Mr. Musk\u2019s team have been assigned to government agencies and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/21\/nyregion\/sdny-doge-elon-musk-treasury-injunction.html\" title=\"\">gained access to agency computer systems and records databases.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Late on Wednesday, Mr. Trump signed an executive order that further empowered DOGE, or the Department of Government Efficiency, to scrutinize and withhold payments by agencies. The order directed each agency to compile a database of all payments issued \u2014 each with a written justification for the payment \u2014 that would be posted publicly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The order also appeared to enact a freeze of all government credit cards used by employees \u2014 with exceptions for disaster relief and \u201cother critical services\u201d \u2014 for the next 30 days. That order appeared to acknowledge that the freeze could stretch the limits of executive authority, saying that it should be carried out \u201cto the maximum extent permitted by law.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
