The source text discusses USDS staffing changes but does not provide the specific headcount of 89 employees as of September 2025. The only numerical reference to USDS staffing is the mention of removing 50 of 200 employees in February (implying ~150 remained at that time), but this is from an earlier point in the year and does not confirm or contradict the claimed September 2025 figure of 89. The article's date is September 4, 2025, which matches the claimed timeframe, but the specific headcount number is not stated in the provided excerpt.
