Budgets have been slashed, programs have been cut, and now it seems as if entire traces of the federal government are being erased from the face of the earth.

Some of these programs will likely return back to work as normal, either remote or through a new office, but many will likely never see the light of day again, as Musk, Trump, and DOGE attempt to save every penny they can.
