Hundreds of federal offices will close this summer

Federal agencies are set to close hundreds of offices this summer due to a push by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency to cut costs. Internal documents reveal that many leases will end by June 30, affecting agencies like the IRS and Social Security Administration. The cancellations aim to save about $500 million, but some agencies are pushing back against the terminations. Errors in the cancellation list have caused confusion, with some leases being rescinded after agencies protested. The rapid lease terminations have surprised landlords and raised concerns about the impact on public services. Some agencies may struggle to relocate within the tight timelines, potentially leading to additional costs.
