DOGE Cuts Impact Federal Workers One Year Later

This is a retrospective human-interest story about DOGE cuts from a year ago, scoring moderate on institutional capture (personnel disruption, agency capacity reduction) but relatively low on constitutional damage since it's resource reallocation without clear due process violations. The B-score is significantly higher because the story emphasizes worker hardship over governance questions (were savings real? was DOGE legally constituted? what oversight existed?), creating high media-friendliness with emotional resonance but limited accountability focus. The timing amid multiple active executive orders suggests strategic narrative management.
