Read about a new government initiative or program, and likely it's not coming from actions of Congress. More and more, federal policy is being established via executive order from the President, which more and more has left Congress as a legislative body on the sideline. For some insight into how we got here and what it could mean for future administrations, we bring in Joshua Spivak, senior fellow at the Hugh Carey Institution for Government Reform at Wagner College.

With so much uncertainty around their employment status these days, some federal employees may be considering just resigning, rather than waiting to be told they've been terminated. According to our next guest though, that may not be the best route. To learn why we bring in Shauna Weatherly, president and founder of Federal Subcontract Solutions.

2025/02/27

The General Services Administration, like many other federal agencies, after yesterday's memo from the White House, is looking at major work force cuts. GSA in particular, is looking at slashing the Public Building Service. It's real estate operation that handles office space leasing for most other agencies. GSA's new policy says they'll need fewer employees once they manage fewer buildings. Federal News Network Jory Heckman has the latest. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

2025/02/27

A half dozen probationary feds swept up in the government's mass layoffs got some good news this week. They're getting their jobs back, at least for now. The Merit Systems Protection Board found there's at least some evidence that their firings were unlawful, but this week's MSPB decision leaves a lot of questions still open, and one of the biggest does the same rationale apply to thousands of other feds who were recently let go during their probationary periods.
