NoteThe source discusses USDS/DOGE staffing but provides conflicting information. It mentions the organization had 200 employees before removing 50 in February 2025, leaving approximately 150. The claim asserts 89 employees as of September 2025. The source does not provide a specific headcount figure for September 2025. The February figure (200 before cuts, ~150 after) contradicts the claimed 89, but the source does not explicitly state the September 2025 headcount. Since the source discusses the same organization and time period (2025) but does not directly confirm the 89-employee figure and provides earlier data suggesting a higher count, the claim cannot be verified from this source alone.
