Principal with Retire Federal, Tammy Flanagan, has some ideas. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at

Back in April, the Department of Justice issued a new rule governing foreign adversary access to U.S. sensitive data.

Although much is still unsettled in the Trump Administration's approach to federal personnel, some agencies are already beginning to hire, or rehire, talent in key positions. The last few administrations have been frustrated that process takes so long and still doesn't give hiring managers the best set of possible recruits. Here with ideas about a better way to approach hiring tech talent is the Chief Operating Officer of Noble Reach Foundation, Pat Tamburrino. See Privacy Policy at

The impact of President Trump's March Executive Order stripping collective bargaining rights from employees at 23 agencies for national security reasons is slow to materialize, and now all of those efforts are on further hold, with a California District Judge issuing a preliminary injunction on July 1 stopping agencies from further implementation of the executive order in this week's federal report.

Space may be the final frontier, but it all starts with a launch. A new Government Accountability Office review looks at how the Defense Department is approaching its phase three strategy for acquiring launch services and responding to DoD growing demand for launch services and infrastructure. As the number of commercial space launches from federal ranges increases, strained infrastructure, capped cost recovery and limited payload processing capacity are all putting pressure on the system.

After President Trump's return to Office orders, some agencies are unsure how to proceed with updating their remote work and telework policies. The Government Accountability Office says the administration needs to issue new guidance to help agencies better measure the effects of their telework policies on performance.

The DOGE grant termination effort that began in USAID has now topped 19 billion dollars government-wide. This affects research universities, foreign aid providers, and local social services in every corner of the country. But because DOGE also took over the government's grants management system, it takes a major effort to track down all of the data and document exactly what we've lost. Ryan Alcorn, co-founder of GrantExec, and Zoe Kendall, GrantExec's Chief Product and Data Officer, have made that

The fallout from the so called peace dividend from the end of the Cold War came to a head in the early 2000s. The signs were all around. They included agencies losing too many protests and a huge increase in agencies depending on contractors to provide services. The solution from Congress was the Services Acquisition Reform Act.
