Medical researchers from universities and the National Institutes of Health rally near the Health and Human Services headquarters to protest federal budget cuts Wednesday, Feb. 19, 2025, in Washington.

Thousands of federal employees across the country have lost their jobs in recent days as the Trump administration and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency continue efforts to slash spending.

Plus, Congress is coming up on a deadline to pass a budget that may include deep cuts.

What impact will funding cuts and the firing of federal workers have on the American people? And how are Congress and the courts responding to the president’s executive orders?
