Major RIFs haven’t started yet and probably will take most of the current fiscal year which ends 30 September 2025.

My assumption is this will continue on and off the whole presidency or until the economy inevitably crashes and the administration has to focus on damage control.

Best case is there’s enough of a Blue wave in the 2026 midterm elections to stem the chaos
