President Donald Trump has offered buyout packages to most federal workers unwilling to return to the office, aiming to reduce government size. Employees have until February 6 to accept, receiving about eight months’ salary as severance.
The administration expects around 200,000 workers to accept, potentially saving $100 billion. Those staying face possible downsizing. The move follows Trump’s push for a full return to office.
Additionally, Trump paused federal grants and signed an order restricting gender care for minors. Both actions face legal challenges and opposition from Democrats.
