| Good morning, DMV. It’s Monday, Feb. 24. Firings, buyouts, reply-or-else emails. Confusion. In this region, there are so many federal workers or people whose work is linked to or funded by the government that the DOGE stress is palpable. Personal finance columnist Michelle Singletary has been hearing from readers who want to know whether government cuts will affect their money. She compiled a sampling of their questions and her responses. Are you a federal worker, contractor or small business that’s been financially impacted by DOGE activities at federal agencies? If you want to tell your story, contact Michelle by email at michelle.singletary@washpost.com or @MichelleSingletary.29 on Signal, an encrypted messaging system.
