The 250th anniversary of the United States is a prime opportunity to reimagine our federal government to make sure it is not a relic of the past but rather a promise for the future, built on systems that work.

@ourpublicservice.bsky.social's statement: ourpublicservice.org/press-releas...

A nationally representative survey we conducted in April 2025 shows that many Americans lack a strong understanding about how federal government programs and spending work, making it difficult for them to evaluate the accuracy of common claims about federal spending.

For decades, we have found that trust in senior leadership is among the biggest drivers of overall employee engagement and organizational performance. When this trust is broken, there is often a direct impact on the quality of services that federal agencies provide to the public.

The administration's strategy to dismantle the federal workforce put it on a course for direct conflict with our work to bolster the federal workforce. For nearly 25 years, we have worked to build a better government and a stronger democracy, no matter the political environment.

Last year, President Trump issued an executive order directing OPM and other agencies to remove long-standing due process protections from career federal employees in "policy-influencing" positions.

President Trump returned to office one year ago. In that time, his administration has shattered the fundamental premise that our government exists to serve the public interest, harming the government’s ability to meet public needs and deal with the country’s biggest challenges.

Federal workers, your government experience has value. Long job searches can feel discouraging, and, in today’s challenging federal environment, many public servants are sharing stories of applying to numerous jobs without receiving a single interview.

In its mission to slash federal spending and improve government efficiency, DOGE has disbanded eight months ahead of schedule with its impact proving the opposite.

A new online poll the Partnership conducted in September found that 46% of respondents say they or someone they know have been personally affected by government cuts, a 17 percentage point increase in public awareness from a similar poll we conducted in March 2025.
