18F — key-event: Eliminated by DOGE; all staff received RIF notices

NoteThe source directly confirms all key elements of the claim: (1) 18F was eliminated by DOGE direction (source states the decision was made 'with explicit direction from the top levels of leadership within both the Administration and GSA' and references Elon Musk's DOGE context); (2) all staff received RIF notices (the office was 'identified as part of this phase of GSA's Reduction in Force (RIF)'); (3) the timing is March 2025 (article dated March 1, 2025, describing events that occurred 'early Saturday morning'); (4) GSA TTS Director Thomas Shedd emailed staff at 1:00 AM (source explicitly states 'Thomas Shedd, director of GSA's Technology Transformation Services, emailed staff at 1am'). The ~90 employees impacted matches the claim's scope of 'all staff.'
