With budgets cut and funding scant, layoffs continued. 2025 was 40% lighter than 2024, but the year still saw some 9,200 losses and brought the four-year total to nearly 44,000

CONFIRMED. Ball's "~9,200" for 2025 matches tracker data (~9,175). The four-year total "nearly 44,000" is confirmed by Wikipedia's aggregate (~45,000 through mid-2025), and by adding year-by-year tracker data (8,500 + 10,500 + 14,600 + 9,175 = ~42,775). The "40% lighter" claim also checks out: 9,175 is ~37% less than 14,600, close to 40%. This is one of Ball's best-documented empirical claims.
