Continuing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy

President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 14238 on March 14, 2025, aiming to further reduce the federal bureaucracy by eliminating non-essential functions and minimizing statutory operations within several government agencies. These include the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, the United States Agency for Global Media, and others. This move could lead to significant budget cuts and workforce reductions in these agencies, potentially impacting services they provide, while also sparking legal and political debates over the balance of power and the necessity of these federal functions.
