The Trump administration, under the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency, is significantly altering federal operations. This includes dismantling longstanding programs, freezing federal funding, and pushing many government workers to resign, leading to public outcry. The Education Department has removed "nonbinary" as a gender option on the FAFSA form, following Trump's directive to define sex strictly as male or female. Changes aim to simplify the form for future applicants after previous issues caused delays. Additionally, the administration plans to withdraw nearly all U.S. Agency for International Development workers from their posts worldwide, marking a major shift in foreign aid policy. This decision has raised concerns among lawmakers and sparked protests against the administration's actions.
