The Federal Drive with Terry Gerton ·

2025/05/07

The FedRAMP program at the General Services Administration has enabled agencies to safely use commercial cloud computing for more than a decade.

The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program seems to transcend generations. The first copy took flight back in 2006.

Much has changed for federal contractors over the last three months. The Trump administration has rescinded rules and made rules without comment periods, terminated and then restarted contracts, and slowed reimbursement.

2025/05/06

The Program Integrity Alliance suggests that there’s a better way to reduce fraud than the government’s current pay-and-chase approach. But to make it work, someone will have to change the rules and approve new investments. Whose job might that be? Boston University Assistant Professor and PIA Senior Fellow, Jetson Leder-Luis has some ideas.

For one reason or another, many more federal employees have flocked to the second round of the deferred resignation program. Some say the offer coming from their agency rather than OPM, felt more legitimate. Others want to leave on their own terms, rather than being pushed out in a reduction in force. But many are still choosing to stay in their jobs. Here with more on our latest survey results, Federal News Network's Drew Friedman. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California
