Workers whose lives DOGE upended question what was saved

A year after federal employees were hit by the Trump administration’s cost-cutting efforts through the Department of Government Efficiency, it remains unclear what the agency saved. Three hundred workers at the U.S. Institute of Peace were among tens of thousands of federal employees affected. The 300 workers were fired by the Republican administration, rehired and fired again, a reflection of the chaos wrought by DOGE. Some federal workers are still wondering if their pain was worth the effort. The DOGE website says it has saved about $215 billion through various actions. But the Government Accountability Office and think tanks haven’t determined how much was saved.

From AP News.com: States sue the Trump administration to challenge policy requiring colleges to collect race data

17 state attorneys general sue over Trump policy on race in admissions

A coalition of 17 state Democratic attorneys general has filed a lawsuit challenging a Trump administration policy that requires higher education institutions to collect data showing they aren't considering race in admissions. President Donald Trump ordered the new policy in August after he raised concerns that they were using personal statements and other proxies to consider race, which conservatives view as illegal discrimination. In 2023, the Supreme Court ruled against the use of affirmative action in admissions but said colleges may still consider how race has shaped students’ lives if applicants share that information in their admissions essays. The federal lawsuit was filed on Wednesday in Boston.
