The federal #StudentLoan portfolio — which includes about $1.6T in loans for ~43M borrowers — is currently overseen by the #Education Dept's office of Federal #Student #Aid (#FSA). That office has been gutted by the recent raft of buyouts, early retirements & last week's broad reduction-in-force [#RIF].
It was not clear, based on #Trump's announcement, how or if the remaining employees & expertise at FSA would be transferred to the SBA.
The #DHS Office for #CivilRights & #CivilLiberties is being ENTIRELY ELIMINATED through a Reduction in Force (#RIF).
Also, the staff were not given reassignments.
Purportedly the office’s operations will be taken up by other offices — highly doubt that’ll happen.

All of #18f (https://18f.gsa.gov/) just got #RIF'd (that means "fired") at 12:02am https://www.reddit.com/r/fednews/comments/1j11aa7/all_of_18f_was_just_rifd_the_whole_office_fired/?share_id=h9GeGTju-bU9dGrqDIUvH&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1
A 2nd bullet point states: “#RIF the Phase 2 offices’ *corrupted* branches,” referring to what DOGE has determined are #DEI elements of offices required by #law. The bullet point concludes: “We are exploring options for this.”
One such option emerged this week. On Tues, #Trump signed an #ExecutiveOrder paving the way for #FederalAgencies to reshape or terminate offices legally mandated to exist.
Goals for Phase 3 are listed in brief bullet points in the #DOGE document.
“#RIF the Phase 1 offices in their entirety,” one bullet point reads, referring to offices dedicated to #DEI. That process is already underway: The [#RussVought of #Project2025] #OPM last month directed agencies to submit written plans for firing all DEI office workers & encouraged agencies to begin issuing #termination notices immediately.

#DOGE’s “Phase 3” starts later this month, on the 31st day of the #Trump admin, & lasts until the 180th day, which is in mid-July, acc/to the documents. That stage moves from placing workers on paid leave to calling for large-scale #firings, the documents show. Ultimately, DOGE intends for the Trump admin to #terminate all DEI-linked employees via a Reduction In Force (#RIF) action—the federal form of #layoffs — including some who work for legally mandated offices.

Spez really tripling down on being the villain CEO archetype in his interview with The Verge about the #Reddit blackout.
“They threw in the towel” he says in reference to #Apollo and #RIF closing down due to the exorbitant API pricing.
The highlight is the claim that it costs Reddit $10m in infra cost alone to support “these apps”. This coming from the same company that claimed Apollo was “inefficient” because it’d cost $20m/year in API costs to run.
