The White House directs federal agencies to develop permanent layoff plans to cope with a possible government shutdown.

Jin10 data reported on September 25, according to Politico, the White House Office of Management and Budget is instructing federal agencies to prepare layoff plans in the event of a possible government shutdown, involving mass layoffs targeting employees engaged in non-essential projects. The plans developed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) will go beyond the usual furloughs, aiming to permanently eliminate positions that do not align with Trump's priorities during the government shutdown. This move represents a significant departure from how the government has responded to shutdowns over the past few decades, where most work stoppages were temporary, and employees could return to work as soon as Congress voted to restore government operations and funding.
