Yesterday ~68 people employed in HHS's Administration for Children & Families early childhood offices were terminated. I'm told Office of Head Start lost ~20% of staff; Office of Child Care lost ~25%
These workers process grants for preschools/childcare centers, monitor health/safety issues, etc.

The law enforcement side of DOJ gets a lot of attention, but DOJ also houses the Office of Justice Programs, which pours millions of dollars annually into research and technical assistance that promote safety. Evidence-based approaches to crime will suffer greatly if OJP is gutted/careerists leave.
