Note that most savings, such as they are, won’t materialize until the next fiscal year because that’s when federal workers come off administrative leave.

That is a pittance and will not show up on this chart!

Probably true. I think labor expenses are only about 5% of federal spending and they didn’t even fire everyone.

I don’t think it would qualitatively change the graph but that seems like the wrong starting date.
Wouldn’t the right comparison begin when Trump actually took office?

I think the real starting point should be October 1. That is the new fiscal year for the federal government that is voted in this Trump maga Congress.
We are still on the Biden era of spending via a continuing resolution a fancy way of saying we are spending at the previous year’s funding level

Depends on the comparison you're trying to make. I agree that fiscal year makes the most sense, generally, but not if the point is specifically Trump v Biden.
