Reporters Ryan J. Foley, Joshua Goodman, and Christopher Keller uncovered how the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) push to downsize the federal workforce could lead to the closure of hundreds of federal offices beginning this summer.

Goodman obtained an exclusive General Services Administration spreadsheet detailing lease terminations—information the agency had not publicly disclosed. Foley analyzed the data, identifying the potential impact across the country, while Keller built an interactive, text-searchable database for APNews and members, giving readers a tool to understand how their communities could be affected.
